Photos in my build blog below. http://1964chevyp10.blogspot.comWanted to see if anyone is getting together to help work on each others stuff? I am in Manassas, Va. If anyone else is interested, we could set up shop days to go to each others places and help work on each others trucks/vans/etc. Im getting kinda tired of working on my stuff by myself. | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 1,718 Moderator: 60-66 Trucks; North Eastern Bolters | | Moderator: 60-66 Trucks; North Eastern Bolters Joined: May 2007 Posts: 1,718 | Welcome to the group. Yes we are fairly active in the md and va area. Get together when someone needs a hand. Suspect with holidays and all it wont be until post new year. There are some dates to leave open for the big events. Nice to have more 60-66 representation. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,596 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,596 | Next spring will be my 4th time attending the Homecoming.
It's a little drive from where I live, but well worth it!
Be ready to get dirty.
Camp out, eat good and work on trucks all weekend.
I also learn a lot, helping these experts out.
BTW, I'll bring the cold rain!

Don, I agree with Tim, less cold rain and more cold beer! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2017 Posts: 28 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2017 Posts: 28 | Sounds good.

Just have to plan it out due to wife in college and having 2 kids. The guys here are very good at teaching and assisting!
Chris | | | | | Joined: Nov 2017 Posts: 28 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2017 Posts: 28 | Well, good news. It wasn't starting but I just fixed it. Hot wire to the hei was broken off at the hei bat connector due to vibration. I crimped on a new female end, connected to bat on the hei and she starts and runs now. Big relief for me!
I'm not a pro mechanic. This is a hobby and I can usually figure out basic stuff. I have some tools and I'm just interested in learning more.
Work I want to do to P10 Stepvan so I can get it on the road:
1) Rochester monojet carb needs adjusting cause it idles at 1200? Motor is an inline 6 Chevy 250 with three speed manual tranny and I think idle should be more like 600 rpm.
Other than the high idle, she starts, runs and drives now.
2) Needs new wheels and tires for better looks. I'm thinking 20 inch rims.
3) Fuel gauge or fuel sender doesn't work so I don't know how much gas I have in the tank. Not cool, need to fix that asap.
4) Need to get Virginia antique tags and insurance for it so I can drive on road
I have heat in my shop but when its real cold (30's and below) it doesnt get warm enough to work on stuff.
I don't like to be cold either, so the stepvan work can wait till a warmer day or I will volunteer to help someone else who has a toasty warm shop.

Just let me know if you ever need an extra set of hands. I'm busy during the week but I have time on weekends.
Also, if anyone needs vehicle/other transport I have a trustworthy friend with a dually who has picked up stuff for me in the past.
He brought my ChevyP10 stepvan from NC to Virginia for a very fair price with no problems. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 1,001 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 1,001 | Hey Mike, Welcome to the stepvan club! You may already know this, but Mill Supply www.millsupply.com is a good source for stepvan parts. I've made several purchases from them for Doughboy. Prices and service is very reasonable. Good luck with your van!

Welcome to the club! Check the carb for an open vacuum port, 1200 at idle is pretty high and the PO May have raised the idle because they missed a vacuum leak.
I live in Fredericksburg a little to the south. Looking forward to meeting you and spinning a wrench....
