The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks '62 C-10 Restomod build begins/ends

Doing some comfort/drive ability modifications on my '62 C10 Short stepside. The truck as it sets is just about as original as it gets. Later Chevy P/U seat and HEI distributor for the I-6 are the only real mods. The project will include a 350 V8, automatic transmission, PS and PB and of course A/C. These mods will make it more long distance friendly and enable Ms Kathy to drive it. Today I picked up a Cherry Picker ( I have a loader tractor as backup) to pull the engine and transmission. Tonight I will pick up my 4 Bolt main 60 over 350 late 60's Camero Engine. It goes straight to the rebuilder tomorrow. I could do a garage refresh myself but since this will be my last build ( I'm getting too old for doing this stuff in my driveway ) I really want to do it right. So, I'll let the professionals do some of it. Later today I will delve into the catalogs and get some of the bits and pieces started my way. New steering column and power steering components are first up. Then the power disc conversion parts for the front. The A/C kit from Vintage Air will wait until the engine, transmission and steering are done. Our towns big car show weekend is next Friday Saturday and Sunday so I will be getting the truck ready for Saturday's show and cruise as it sets now. Then Monday June 4th the tear down begins and the fun begins just in time for our summer heat. Updates coming shortly after.
