    wireing problems

    Have you verified you are getting power to your harness? Does the pigtail go back to one of the pins for the bulb?

    I think I got Swindled

    Keeps notes and records of everything. Even take photos if you can. Go back and talk nicely with the manager. If you go in yelling at them they will be less likely to work with you. I know how much it sucks, but unfortunately a lot of places have taken the model that the customer is always...

    Blasting

    Definitely want a good quality mask. Heavy leather gloves that go up the arm and a full face shield. Can't help on the compressor size, but you can never go too big. :D The dust from sandblasting can be very hazardous to the lungs. You also need to prime (with a good epoxy primer) whatever...

    3/4 ton brake drum

    Based on the pictures in my 63 chevy shop manual the drum slides over the studs and center hub. I am sure it is rusted on pretty good, by the looks of your picture. The instructions read as follows. 1. Raise rear of vehicle and place on stand jacks. 2. Remove wheels, back off brake...

    Starting restoration on a 61!

    If you are going to leave power connected to the vehicle I would look at all wiring. If you are just worried about getting the engine running, then just make sure you ignition harness looks good to the fuse panel.

    Starting restoration on a 61!

    Definitely check all your wires. Sitting in a field like that, who knows what mice have been chewing on. I wold also keep a fire extinguisher near by while trying to start it. You never know what is going to arc with old wiring and hoses.

    Newbie!

    Here is some camera phone pics of the beauty. Best I can tell it has had some floor work and is completely original everywhere else. From what the owner told me it was bought by his uncle, garage kept. Then it was bought by his father in 1983 with 47,000 miles on it. His father kept it in a...

    Newbie!

    New to the forum and just saying hello. I recently purchased a 64 2wd C10 stepside with inline 6 and 3 speed. It has some rot in both cowls, but the rest of the body is solid. There are some dents, but it only had 90,000 original miles. The truck has been sitting a while so there is a...
