Re: Project "Bickle" 1948 1/2 ton 4.3 4l60e

ugh, I cant stand working on prewars, the two I did almost killed me. everything is so different in production quality and especially HOLES being in the SAME PLACE TRUCK TO TRUCK with the AD series. I do love them though. my favorite was fenix, I should have kept that one.



my brother in pa sent me this picture of an ad at a swap meet/cruise in. I thought it was sectioned at first but it looks like it just has a healthy channel.




braaaakes. ugh. the bleeders were stuck in the calipers, had to replace perfectly good parts. its like a pineapple enema, just gets more exciting (painful) as it stretches on.



lights! headlights and LED turns are wired, used the factory s10 harness, no extension! I will install the headlights tomorrow, it will have a "face" again.




testing wheel fitment, looks good to me! its on jackstands so it will be quite a bit lower.
