Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010

No trans cooler, I plan to run one similar to this:
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DER-13262/?rtype=10

or since I work for a coil company, I can make one similar to this:
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FLX-3818-6/

I have not gotten anything done lately, I took my boys to my folks farm for the last weekend of deer season. While I was there, I picked up some of my old parts that I never got rid of like the seat and original steering wheel. The seat frame is rusted but salvageable and only needs new foam and 2 springs replaced.

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010

Well got a few (very few) things done this past weekend and last night. I got the rusted areas cleaned and treated and applied Eastwoods Rust Encapsulator on them. Painted my master cylinder and mounted it for now on the firewall. I am waiting on a fitting to continue with the front brakes. I would have pictures...but my camera would not turn on even with new batteries. Not sure what is wrong.

I also got some cleaning and painting on the motor done. Started on some of the brake lines for the front, got one side done, but I broke my good flaring tool. I hope I can fix it, can't afford another right now. My goal is to work on the brake lines and finish that this week. I need to get the trans done and then I can put the motor and trans in the frame to get more progress done.

Again, sorry no pics, but I will get some when my camera is working again.

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010

[QUOTE=aggie91;3727180]I got my parts in yesterday. The radiator is similar to the ones on Summit and Jegs that others on here have used, but was only $139.99, I also got new valve covers and a timing cover and tab with bolts. The cover on the old motor is cracked and leaking and a plain steel one was the same cost as a chrome one. All of these parts in the photo are from Speedway Motors.


Where did the Radiator come from. And is it a stock replacement?

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010

Paul - The radiator came from Speedway Motors. It is part number 917-347-26. It is 26" wide overall and the core is 19" tall. I measured between the inner fenders on the front end and the opening in the core support and this one fit best. I will have to make my own mounts, but that is not an issue. I will also use an external trans cooler.

I did not get anything done last night. I am dead in the water with my flaring tool. I messed up the screw and head, I will call Stride Tool today to see if I can get replacement parts.

I did get my camera to work again? Maybe some pictures tonight!

Thanks for the Info Carl. I'm not going to be running the stock inner fenders anyways.

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010

Here are some pics of stuff I have done while my camera was down:
Motor after cleaning:

After a Fresh Coat of Paint:



Here is the 1 brake line I completed the other night before breaking my flaring tool:


Last night I bent up these. They run from the master cylinder down to the frame rail.

Here they are install on the master cylinder:



I need to finish the end where they connect at the frame, but with out a flare tool, I am kind of stuck now...I guess I will move onto other things that I can do to the truck.

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010

Beautiful work!! Looks like you have a lot of experience with hard lines. It's hard for me to make one line that lays just right much less having two that are suppose to mirror each other.

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010

Thanks for the compliments, I am still learning and made a few mistakes before I made those. I hop that I do not mess up the other end when I cut and flare it...

No progress lastnight, I decided to paint the intake since I cannot get it to look good by cleaning it. Started to spray it and the can quit spraying after about 2 passes with a brand new can...I will get another today and try again...

A few years ago I had my Team G intake bead blasted and it turned out real good. After eight years it still looks good just dusty.

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010

Thanks Guys.

My plan is to have the brake lines all ran this week and the system ready to bleed. I need a few line clamps and the boot to the back of the master cylinder.

I decided to paint the intake because I did not want to take the motor apart since it was running OK when it was pulled out.

Make sure you understand the marks on the bender. They are helpful in knowing which dimension and if it is to the left or right.

Also, do some test pieces before doing your final ones.

That's my problem I didn't know I could bend either way. Seriously, I'm still learning. I need to watch someone do it to learn. I've done a couple of lines and they turned out good then I start getting my lefts and rights mixed up.

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010

made some progress last night. I got all the hard lines for the brakes finished up. I got my new front calipers and those should get painted tonight.

I ordered up my line clamps this morning, should be here in a few days. Once I get those that should finish up my brakes.

I do have one issue that is keeping me from finishing the brakes, I need the rubber boot that goes on the back of the MC around the pushrod. I can get it with a rebuild kit, but I do not need the rest of the parts. The kit is about $25 at Autozone. Does anyone know where I can get just the boot. I am going to email Jeff at CPP since he has been on here and offered up his help...

Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010

Just got off the Phone with Jeff at CPP. He is a real cool guy. He hooked me up with the dust boot I needed!! I also ordred the axle perches for the rear end. I think that I am going to change my set up some and I do not like the ones that I made the last time. These will look much better.

ALAN: Sent you a PM.

I painted my front calipers last night and the rear rotors. I to get the rear calipers apart today so that I can clean them and paint, before putting in the rebuild kits.
