Re: Project "Irvin"

Oh well- if you broke it in the driveway, at least you didn't need a tow.

My seat got recovered this weekend and I'm picking up both my new rad and driveshaft tomorrow. Going to stop by the body shop and see when it's going in too......

Good to see you driving it, at least you were back home when the hose blew.

Yeah it was luck that had it blow turning in driveway. Got to looking and either the hose failed or I didn't have a good fit on fitting, but it was fun to drive it

Thanks, I've decided I'm going to have hoses made and ditch the AN stuff on power steering so I won't blow anymore lines. Hoping to get them made Friday morning and button up a few things.

Our local NAPA does hydraulic hoses, I had them make my power steering hoses and also they crimped all the ends on my A/C lines.

Our NAPAs do as well, but there is a small locally owned parts store that does them as well. I'm going to use him since he's independent and owns a C10. He did his and looked good so it's worth a shot.

Thank you Wade, haven't seen the flea bag lately so hopefully it disappeared on its own. If not I'm ready for it!

Re: Project "Irvin"

Awesome work. I love the color of the wheels matching the body. Are those hubcaps for a 56 or 57 truck?

Thumbs up Re: Project "Irvin"

Ben, I sent u a PM, but when I went to look it up, I can't find it which leads me to believe u didn't get it either. I'm thinking about buying the '72 long bed we talked about, and buying a certain '67 frame I know about and converting everything as time and $$ permit for my son.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!
I just saw were IRVIN is the March Truck of the Month for Pro Performance on there newsletter!!
