Popular Post Grotty Posted August 28, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2015 Hi, Just got back from the States. Picked up a C10 Fleetside truck, Custom cab, big window, factory v8 engine, manual. Found it at Pomona swap meet, was one of the more realistic priced car/trucks there. Bought it off some nice Spanish low riders. Pilled heaps of stuff on the back and drove it 100 miles to the next hotel. Got hold of Lucky's towing and had it sent to the shippers to be packed with some other crap and sent back to NZ. Also while there visited a lot of rod shops and car places. Picked up a airbag kit for it, drop spindles and stud conversion. which I'll be installing when it arrives in NZ. Now its just a waiting game.

Grotty Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Got a e-level accuair kit while in Los Vegas off a guy who was going to bag his GS300 thanks craigslist, bought back in my check in. got searched at every stop in USA, must have looked like a bomb in the x-ray. Truck is in a container with a 64 impala my mate bought and a mean as old Oldsmobile, they are on the water, hopefully here in around a month in Wellington. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out it didn't get flagged for any rust! even thou I can see the road under the clutch pedal. Looking forward to working on it over summer. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotty Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Haven't touched this truck in a while, but have bought a V8 4.8 LS based engine from a Silverado 1500 truck, got excited over the weekend and cut down the loom for the standalone setup, then started making a new fuse box for the truck to upgrade the wiring system. As old wires are no fun to fix. Hopefully will get engine running on a stand before installing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
