Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

Well with the weather changing I put all the truck panels away in the garage and started working back on the chassis.



The first job was to cut the crossmember to make way for my exhaust







So the fun has started

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

Well I thought I’d do an update. Now the chassis is complete. With the exhaust all installed. It was time to start on the cab

https://flic.kr/p/2iZiQ9n

https://flic.kr/p/2iZmz7q

https://flic.kr/p/2iZmxLz

https://flic.kr/p/2iZo7vB
Transmission cooler lines installed.

I purchased another Gazebo 12x9 feet or 3x4 meters. To do the cab in

https://flic.kr/p/2iZmvZ3

The inside ready for colour
Then it was time to weld the dash in from my old cab

https://flic.kr/p/2iZo6P1

https://flic.kr/p/2iZmwtV

https://flic.kr/p/2iZiLK3

It was then time to get the outside of the cab ready

https://flic.kr/p/2iZo5Qh

In the meantime my new rear springs arrived. I had already fitted 2inch drop springs and two inch blocks. I removed both of them and replaced them with 5 inch drop springs.

https://flic.kr/p/2iZiPiu

I also have a box of goodies arrive on Thursday this is just a taster of what’s to come

https://flic.kr/p/2iZiQ8R

Thanks for checking in

I agree with Vince...

Another of the few benefits of shutdown, lot's of us are getting truck time.

Keep after it Martin!

Well today I got the inside of the cab painted.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

Well with this lockdown continuing it’s given me plenty of time to get on with the Truck .

The first job I did was to mount the transmission cooler lines

https://www.flickr.com/gp/187478294@N02/8y5Kh8

https://www.flickr.com/gp/187478294@N02/HE31S2

Then it was time to make the transmission cooler mounting brackets

https://www.flickr.com/gp/187478294@N02/J8EPo1

https://www.flickr.com/gp/187478294@N02/76599Q

Once all the transmission lines were finished it was time to start the engine. So Pete came over to my place (silver Indian) and helped me get it started . The funny thing was it wasn’t till later that evening I while checking the video of when I had removed the engine and cab with the help of Rian that I had purchased. It was exactly 5 years to the day that it had been removed and brought back to life

https://www.flickr.com/gp/187478294@N02/7d5YE8

So with the cab ready to go back on next weekend this truck is finally going back together.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

Way to go Martin. You are making great progress.
All I seem to get done is move my truck parts around in the shop.
I've had other projects come along like replacing the radiator in the vette and do other things on the Jeep plus I can't do very much at a time because of fatigue and some withdrawals from the meds. I've been on. It seems like things are better now.

Seeing your progress is very encourging to me.
Keep it up, I'm looking forward to seeing driving your truck very soon.
