Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
Motor pics...Motor is done with the exception of painting the water pump,the metal fuel lines, a few brackets,the choke,and swapping carbs.Then add alt.,power steering,a/c brackets and fan.

Re: Its the shortbed's turn "Project Junkyard Resurrection"
Yeah,it feels good to go start it.Its not hard to wire it to start just in the chassis.Hook up the wires from the hei (if you've got one) (or the alternative-points) to the plugs,run a wire to the battery from the distributor,hook up the positive from the starter to the battery,I used a remote start to start mine up.I've got a rubber line running from the pump down to a 5 gallon can of gas...I dont have the fan hooked up so I dont run it for long periods of time..
Oh,and right now I'm thinking Im going to buy a $100 cab that already has had the rust fixed..  That will save me some time.. Last edited by 1969k10stepside; 07-05-2007 at 11:57 PM. |

Re: Project: "Junkyard Resurrection"
Yeah,alot of love,blood,and sweat!
It will be,and is already worth it though considering what it looked like a year ago. I got the u joints in and got some black seat belts at the junkyard today.I almost got a good bench seat but Im still hoping for buckets so I didnt get it..

Re: Project: "Junkyard Resurrection"
Had the truck outside.I got the rear driveshaft on but it isnt long enough so it will be lengthened.As soon as I get the hole cut in the floor of the cab (from a 2wd) to clear the tranny/t case the cab is going back on...

Re: Project: "Junkyard Resurrection"
 with Aaron. You got more gumption than me Dustin, I'd never even attempt to fix a truck up that was in as poor of shape as yours was.

Re: Project: "Junkyard Resurrection"
I also got the rest of the panels I needed to fix the cab,thanks to GMC Paul
. Right now the buckets are shop furniture I still have to buy or make the c channel like bracket that goes under the cab of the trucks/blazers/jimmys/burbs/panels that had bucket seats originally.
