When I was doing the hoses for my truck, I noticed that KRC says to only use hose rated to 2,250psi, I didn't realize it had to be that high!

Went down to my local hydraulic shop and a buddy of mine fixed me up. He made up some crimped fittings and hose. It's not as perty as yours is going to be though!

I didn't realize that either, kind of surprised the old one lasted this long!

Well, I built up my new power steering pressure line and it appears to be doing just fine. To quote Johnny Bench, "No runs, no drips, no errors." I also picked up my rear end, with fresh install of Richmond 3.73 gears and an Eaton posi.

Sweet!!!! Hurry up and get that installed. I need you to clear some calendar space so you can help me pull the "junky" motor out of my farm truck,

How do a person tell what gear they have in their truck. I have a 67 frame and the rear was a poss. But don't know how to tell the gears, it works great. I think I have found something here in all my swapping around with these trucks..

Put the rear end on jack stands, put a chalk mark on the drive shaft and the tire. Spin the tire one revolution and count how many times the drive shaft turns using the chalk as a reference. This number is a rough estimate of what gear you have.

Nice!!!!

I like your shorty step side. I also board here in Fl. on the west coast call nature coast. I am sure that you are going to make this truck a show stopper. I will be following your build.

On a positive note here is a pic from a little cruise we took a few weeks ago...

Funny thing, I would rather have your truck than any of those other cars or trucks parked on that row of vehicles. Your truck looks great!

I am going to do my best, I have a long list of things I'd like to do. Many of them are small details that most people won't normally notice or care to fix.

Stay tuned and I'll see if I can keep it interesting.

I agree. I often think about having a new camaro, but I wouldn't be happy. There are hundreds of them running around here, but just a few 67-72 C10s! Thanks for the compliment!

I have to agree with you on the grand national! those things are getting hard to find too.

ChillWinstonC20 · 02-11-2013, 01:36 PM

I'll have to third the comment. I have always had a thing for the GNs. But given the option between YOUR stepside and that GN I'd choose your stepper. Very sweet

Truck is looking Super Nice...

The guy that owns that GN has had it since new, it is in perfect condition. Very nice!

I have the "waiting for a shipment from CPP" blues... I'd love to have my rear disc brake kit so I can install the new posi rear-end. Good news is, tomorrow is going to be a beautiful day to drive my truck to work!

jmedero · 02-14-2013, 10:32 PM

I found that when I need cpp stuff I get them from Scott's. he goes down there picks up the parts then ships them. I had my nova front and rear susp in 5 days!! I waited 5 weeks for my cpp drive shaft. Lol

I talked with him, but I felt like my small order was an inconvenience to him so I just ordered from Jeff Norton. Well, consequently this evening, two weeks after I placed my order, I received a shipping notice from UPS. The brakes will be here... Thursday!!

So... we wait. Oh and ride around in the farm truck.

C10_ustacould · 02-19-2013, 11:27 PM

Getting started on the rear end swap, I have my master technician helping me!

jmedero · 02-19-2013, 11:39 PM
