I'm here dude! I'm just around the corner from the driveline build. Where'd ya score the yokes? What u-joints them use?

Your stuff all looks candy man! Need more pics of the truck and details on that next build :metal:

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

I rolled your page. Need more eye candy.....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

I bought all the yokes and universials from a place called Pat's driveline . They called it all 3500 series and said it would take 550-600 Hp no problem . I am using the same stuff on the next build just getting to the driveshaft next day or so . The tranny yoke actually comes like the one i bought kind of a billeted look or more of a cast look.....So yea i had to have the billeted look one. ...But i had them make the driveshaft and spec the yokes and the driveshaft comes with the universials and yokes installed and balanced.....They did that in 24 hours turn around time......great guys and a huge shop

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Sneak Peek at the next one! :metal::bann::metal:

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

I know i was showing how i build my sub boxes but i don't think i ever showed a completed picture did i ? Well for the last few builds I have been building my own sub boxes that fit behind the seat all nice and tight. Now don't get me wrong but i am off the carpetting the sub boxes thing lately. We all have out things and mine seems to build them round everything and body work them and paint them the truck colour to blend them in. I just dig the way it looks i guess....lol....I am sure it's not for everyone but it works for me.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Of course you have to toss in a set of custom made kick pods ....in my opion...lol.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

I had a chance to pull the hulk into the shop recently and we have been using the stereo to listen to in the shop and have determined the following....a 8 step guide to stereo 101

How to check to see if your stereo is tuned and operating correctly.

1) Place truck in the shop
2)Open truck doors
3) Select music you like that is sub driven
4)Close shop doors
5) Crank stereo to max
6) Watch the case of the oil fall off the shelf and splatter all over the floor
7) Stand around in a group looking at the puddle of oil and be impressed
8) lol ....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck

Re: 66 SBFS street truck

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Thanks man......i dig the way it blends in when it's painted.You ever come out west ? I did the puyallup goodguy's last year haven't made the one in spokane one yet.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck

sub box looks awesome, I'm going to build mine and the kick pods too! I'm just going to have the kick panel ones up a lil higher so I can use the dimmer and have them pointed off at an lil angle! all mdf and fiberglass for both! I love the smooth painted look an also leather or vinyl covered! carpeted it just ok an plain jane, lol!

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Wow! Just finished reading your complete build thread for this truck. Very nice with lots of unique additional details. You do really nice work. I don't know how I missed this build for so long. I followed your '58 FS build thread and really love that truck as well.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Checkin in..

Hoist? concrete?

Snap shots of you cruizin' down the Blvd?

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

What…No Pix! :lol:

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Okay so i know i am behind in pictures but i have been crazy busy...Went to the exhaust shop and worked with the guys to get what i wanted.....then we pulled it all apart...yea your right the exhaust guy's thought i was nuts too. Anyhow I wanted to try something differnt so I ceramic coated the entire exhaust system.....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Poured the concrete .....bought a hoist.....moved it into the new bay... Hoists are heavy by the way and not easy to move. But with true redneck spirt and a little leverage,a set of car dollies and a tractore anything is possible.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Nice! Looks like a few parts on that slab already. We'll wanna see a full shot of that exhaust once you've got it back on.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

ok... after the hoist we're sharing the internet beers. i saw the picture... hoist is in.

toasting one up right now...'here's to the hoist' ' may it forever work hard'

thanks for the beer and have a great memorial day.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Here here,,,I agree with Clem. Toastin a beer.
Ceramic coating the whole exhaust system?!!!????? Dang. That'll keep the underside cool.
Addition to the shop and hoist will be real handy.
Gotta get my passport so I can come up and check it all out.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Well the most cruizing it's seen is going up and down on the hoist....It's not ready to go yet. I have been busy trying to get the shop hoist up and running and the bay so i can work in it. Well that and we have been crazy busy working on everything else but my truck.....how that works i have no idea but thats we roll apparently lol. I keep thinking about your magic tubing bender over there Bomp but i haven't had time to do that yet either.....
