Since this picture I have installed the carb and distributor. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/Blacktailer/IMG_5002.jpgI am ready to send the cab, fenders and bed out to paint as soon as I find someone local to do the work. Seems like everything I want to do next like brake lines, wiring, etc. needs to have the cab mounted. What else can I get done other than exhaust while I wait for the paint? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 291 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 291 | Super charger. HAHa no not much. You could run the wiring along the fram that gonna go to the tail lights or drop in the rear mounted fuel tank and fuel lines. But not much to do. Alway nice to have the body on and ready for assembly. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 319 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 319 | You could still use a driveshaft.

If you can't fix it with a hammer and screwdriver, you need a bigger hammer.1965 Chevy C10 | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 150 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 150 | Yeah, I'll probably get some exhaust manifolds on it and take it down the to muffler shop and then get the driveline finished. That and the fuel tank/lines.

Just put a couple of junction fittings where you want to turn vertical at the firewall ( assuming your going with a firewall mount on the booster & Master Cylinder. You should at least get the cab in for paint as this will allow lots of work to be completed once mounted. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 117 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 117 | Rebuild your gauges
Upulster the seat
Polish/clean the glass
Rebuild the running lights
Polish or send bumpers out for chrome
Polish or send trim out for chrome
Get organized! Make sure you have all the grommets, pads, blocks, antisqueek, fender welt, bolts, washers, nuts, and body gaskets you need for the body assembly.
