It's good to see you getting lots of use out of the vertical saw. Are you still using those coarse tooth blades? I'm sure the larger table helps out compared to standing up your other saw
I think this is brilliant. I was thinking about this same system then seen your original video. First off your rebuttal is hilarious😂 Little Timmy lives! 🤣 I have basically the same lift and door height. What was the diameter of the sproket you used and do you think a bike sproket would work? Thanks so much for the video🍻
I had a short bed fleetside 65 Chevy C10. It was cool. A/C power breaks, automatic. Great truck. Coil springs on all 4 corners. It gave a beautiful ride. I drive a 72 MonteCarlo now.
@@daprof7417 Or watch in small segments at different times. However I do agree it is long, longer than I was going for. But it is a lot to get in to a short time frame. Watching it a few times now I do see places I can cut down. I am learning as I go with this video/youtube stuff.
you got the numbers on the tire sizes backwards. 225 -275 is the height of the sidewall. 275 is taller than 225. 70 or 60 is the width. the lower , the wider. and 15 is the inside diameter or wheel size. so a 275 /60/15 is taller and wider but fit the same wheel as the 225/70/15. your speedo difference is probably due to the bigger tires in back. it's going faster than it's reading. a 205 is more like what originally came on it. makes the vehicle higher geared.
wasn't sure I was gonna sub but when you said for 15" tires "they want an arm, a leg and a dick for em" I got a good laugh out of that one and subbed for ya. She's a decent rig. Solid where it counts it seems. Nothing too bad to fix that I can tell. She should make you a good driver. Not real familiar with the 348s but just googling they look like a good workhorse engine. probably nearing 350 hp when new. I did notice the routing on that brake line on the drivers side ran on the outside was really close to rubbing that control arm. Might just be the camera angle but just noting it here so you can give it a 2nd look.
@@Hobodeluxe007 Thanks for the subscription! It is in perfect driver/use condition. I am sure I will be plugging some holes here and there but I want to leave it mostly in the condition it is in.
Putting that rag back in the radiator after the second time was a huge mistake bad enough you don't have a shroud and you're trying to cool a big block with a rag full of trash in the radiator hose
@@MikeCope-uz5jx I get that, however if I didn't catch the trash with the rag all the debris could have plugged up the radiator and might have been impossible to get out.
The 348 and 409 were the first big blocks the 409 came in the early impala I have a friend of mine that had a 58 that had a 348 that had 3 duces on it my friend just bought a 409 he's putting in his black impala SS he's also got the turbo glide transmission. There was a guy with a you tube channel that put a 409 with a tunnel ram on it that was a nice build he had there. I love that this truck has the big back windows and it's a fleetside also that trim ìs nice.
@@richardsmith-qy6vl That is awesome! What was the span of years the 348 and 409 were produced? I am amazing how smooth and great this motor runs! I can't wait to get this truck on the road reliably!
🗿💨 From what I remember 348s was used from 58-64. Truck engines had a tall deck and came in chassis trucks. Yours looks car, , never saw a C10 born with that engine.. Sweet find sir👍👍@@VPTfab
For what its worth, my 58 348 had a solid fan. My 63 409 had one of those spinny fans. In usa we had the 348 58 till 61. The 409 maybe a few late 61 thru 64. Luved my 63 409, it was like yours. It would bury the needle but it didnt like it but it would run all day bout 85 to 90 no complaints. Dont like that knock you got. When you got that funny sound i noticed the rag on your intake would pop up. Valves??? but seemed to have broke loose.
@@yorotirb3941 Yes I believe one of the valve was hung up when I first started turning it over. That was why I pulled the valve cover to see if I could see which one was stuck. But then it freed up on its own.
