I did not know if this would be the appropiate thread to share my latest addition but I have seen other guys sharing.
My third child was just born last friday also 9.5.08!!! he weighted 7'1 and measure 20 inches!!! I have a 19 year old son, 9 year old daughter and now the baby boy!!! All with the same wife and this one totally unplanned, but what a blessing..... This rebuild is going to be given to him by me once he is old enough. I have built my oldest son two vehicles including a single turbo supra and a 96 chevy 1500 swb... |

I went to the body shop today and the truck has very little to go.
Well while I wait I started looking for my new wheels and have narrowed my search to foose nitrous 20x10 in the rear and 18x8 up front. |

Make sure to take lots of picts I like to see inspirational bad ass trucks...I think I might of typed the wrong name they are the nitrous II, the same reason why I like this instead is because they dont have the hex heads all around.Man I wish I could take the weekend off and fly out to california to that truck show but with a newborn and business it is not the right time to do so, maybe next year I can plan ahead...I am planning on going to the turkey rod run in novemember here in Daytona Beach in a couple of months. The re assembling began last night one of my guys is doing the re wiring as we speak, wish me luck because I know there will be plenty of obstacles sort of speak. Have a great one!! Albert |

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Thank you!!!!
Mr. E,,,I really appreciate it..... I was off for four days, then I had to get back to work. I am a fixed ops director in a toyota dealership I am woking from 10:00am to 6:00pm everyday for now so I get to spend alot of time with him in the morning and in the evening. Thank God I really dont have a schedule as I can come and go as I need to. As far as putting the truck back together thank the lord for my asst and one of my techs, they are reassembling my truck for me as my time right now is very limited between 60 employees and my family.. I will post some picts of the reassembly..... |

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
what kind of mat did you put in there?
FYI, I got the carb, the center rod got bent in shipping but I think the rest of it is ok... |
Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Mike,
this is the mat I used http://www.thermotec.com/product_detail.php?prd_id=16 I used two rolls of it, price was $45.00 a roll I bought it locally at the performance shop. If you need another center rod I might have one in my tool box in the shop, let me know if you want it. |

The interior is almost finished, maybe a few more hours and it will be ready.
the wiring under the dash is done, steering column, shifter cable, kickdown cable, steering wheel, a/c is all wired in, accelerator pedal and cable all in. I also picked up the brand new drive shaft and installed it as well. We made big progress today.Then we will move back to the engine bay which I have a few days of work in it. Just waiting for the big brown truck. Went by the body shop and saw my hood painted, they are waiting for me finish assemblimg the engine bay so they can finish painting the rest of the parts fenders, doors and bed. Enjoy!! |
