Made this tool today... Can anyone guess what it was used for? |
Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
Sorry to see the aftermath but glad to see you are getting her back into shape, awesome progress so far :chevy:
As far as the tool, I do not have a clue but I am sure it will make sense after you tell us |

David, I just revisited your build thread to show a buddy at work your truck, and saw your situation.
Sorry to hear about the accident, but am glad you are OK. Trucks can be rebuilt. I like the the way you approach your build on the truck. I think I told you before that your build was an inspiration for me to start my build on my 70 short step. I am not street legal yet, but getting close. Here's a quick pic. I'll be sure to check back to see your progress. |

Well here you go. I tried to use an open end wrench with a cheater bar and it started to deform the plug...so I thought I would stand a better chance if the cap was completely boxed. I didn't have an 8 pointed socket in the right size. Drilled a hole and filed it into the exact shape... a lot of work for something I'll never use again :lol: but it worked perfectly. I also removed the bushings and sleeves from the trailing arms and they are ready for powdercoat. That was a pain. Tomorrow I will remove the yoke and pinion from the housing and it should also be ready for powder. I should have the control arms back this week. |

I used the blue-tipped axe on my TA bushings. Stinky/messy but easy!

My first powdercoated parts! I took them to North Side Powdercoating in Conroe. They did an awesome job! Also dropped off my trailing arms and axle housing.

I also have some new shoes on order as of today. :metal: I have an idea and they may not end up being gray... we will see.
Thanks Travis at ProPerformance! |

Uh oh... I hope y'all don't hate them that much. :lol:

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
I love them! Sizes? Do tell what you've got cooking for the centers.

As for the centers...I'll keep it a secret for now. ;) Could look pretty good or pretty bad. Gray will look good regardless. |
Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
What a thread! Too bad it got banged up after all of that hard work. We all learn to drive like grandpa the hard way..... Great reading tonight, nice work David.

Looks Great! I'd like to see how you ran your exhaust to get it outside of the frame, if you get a chance.

Re: Project: 1967 C10 Small Window
Very nice! I understand about not having a ton of room, I'm going to build a better exhaust for my Blazer this winter. With an 11" shorter wheelbase and rocker boxes outside of the framerails, it's going to get interesting. I like your truck even more now that I see you are using a TKO 5-speed, I'm wanting to switch to that also.
