Re: Shawley's 1969 C10 Project

A buddy from work came to help out and get the din hole for me new Pioneer deck cut out, I knew if I cut it, the hole would be crooked

Re: Shawley's 1969 C10 Project

I got he under hood all wired up, 140amp alternator fused to the battery, my Accuair all connected to the battery, the stereo power routed to the cab, and a couple good grounds for the battery and in the engine bay.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psczxlo72o.jpg

My buddy Luke came by and worked on my truck with me till very late Saturday night so we got lots done, cleaned up all the wiring and got my deck installed, along with all the RCA's and speaker lines for the future stereo routed.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psjfefugdq.jpg

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps7qfywof9.jpg

Deck installed, heater controls reinstalled, ash tray back in, usb mounted, and then the sub level control where the old manual choke was.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pspyclizup.jpg

Got the cluster all in, tested and working 100%, and laid down the carpet in the cab.

It ended up fitting damn good, just need to do a little adjusting because this carpet is for a truck with a bit more of a raised floor for a shifter as my truck used to have a floor shifter, but didn't have the raised floor.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pscbxiguly.jpg

All powered up and working, just need my amps/speakers/custom kicks and I'll have sound

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pso9mx2hhx.jpg

Lots more to do but so little left to do!

Really just need my shocks from Bag Barn, a coolant overflow, and mufflers and I'll be ale to take it around the block, then hopefully toss the box back on.

Re: Shawley's 1969 C10 Project

really coming along!

Re: Shawley's 1969 C10 Project

Truck is soooooo close to being finished up!!!! New mirrors on it now too.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psjvxr90td.jpg

Transmission needs one thing adjusted/changed and then the bed will go on and it's ready to drive! Just needs proper exhaust and an alignment.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pslkbqzuma.jpg

Engine is pretty well all finished up, and we redid the alternator bracket as the last one was flexing way too much

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pssw5xcemr.jpg

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps0zx31p7z.jpg

Interior is all finished up besides the stereo, need to still build custom kick panels and my sub box.

False gas cap on there too.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psudrgcwyp.jpg

Built a bracket for the Accuair controller

Re: Shawley's 1969 C10 Project

Well I got the truck going and driving!!!! My buddy Ryan came by and got the majority of the tranny issues resolved, as someone has modified it to run no lock up.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psiwgictov.jpg

Took it around the block, everything is working awesome, the accuair, the motor, all of it!

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psjhktfafe.jpg

Can't wait to get the bed on and get it all going

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psldnlvyhk.jpg

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps6bl1nyhx.jpg

Need to also calibrate my GPS speedo

Re: Shawley's 1969 C10 Project

That looks beautiful! Nice work!

Re: Shawley's 1969 C10 Project

Nice build, nice truck thanks for sharing.

Re: Shawley's 1969 C10 Project

truck looks amazing. great work

Re: Shawley's 1969 C10 Project

The truck is getting so close to completion, had some transmission issues that we thought could be a simple fix, but turned out that the transmission itself was toast.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psiqag1sre.jpg

Had 1st and 2nd gear but no 3rd or 4th so got it towed to a local transmission shop, the tow truck driver himself owns a 72 Suburban

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pswp5orz5e.jpg

Once I got there the owner had a 66' C10 himself, and knew lots about these trucks and also lots about the 700R4 transmissions, so it was great to get it worked on there

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps1wazx21v.jpg

Turned out it needed to be fully rebuilt, so that's what I had them do, and now I'm able to drive it!

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psmsc00uye.jpg

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psfbevuk7y.jpg

Just needs some exhaust work, the bed cut out for the diff, the stereo completed and and then it's finished!!! Well at least for this season.

Not bad for 8 months

Re: Shawley's 1969 C10 Project

Great work. You should be proud.

Re: Shawley's 1969 C10 Project

Love this truck, nice to see another Albertan member on here!

Re: Shawley's 1969 C10 Project

Re: Shawley's 1969 C10 Project

That looks really good! I love those wheels.

Re: Shawley's 1969 C10 Project

What are the specs on your wheels?

Re: Shawley's 1969 C10 Project

Awesome work on this truck. You really took it a long way in a short period of time. Looks great too!
