spent about and hour fighting an grill that was chromed that was a little twisted
the bold holes didn't line up the were a little off .. got the first side on the got the first one started then have to massage the second one to get started. if it wasn't the fact that i took my old grill to the chrome plater and he had one all ready done i should have just told them to do mine . that was over two years ago .. owell .live and learn :chevy: |
Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
The grill support looks impressively straight. Did you have any dent/rust repair to do?
|
Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
it was off a truck in california same as the radiator support
it was dent and rust free it was painted red it must have have 6 coats of paint on it i striped down to bear metal then epoxed then used urethane primer then the last coat is a satin flat black single stage urethane paint.:chevy: |

When out in to the shop tonight to run the numbers on the block to double check what the guy told me the motor was. well he told me it was a l6
230 but after running the numbers its a 250 75-79 year block .. and found out some red neck style motor mounts really wood come on and what were they thinking with a 5 to 6 inch long run of all thread :lol: |
Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
I've heard of using long pieces of all thread to help hold the trans while you guide the input shaft thru the TOB and the clutch disc, but you are supposed to remove them and replace with bolts when done.
Yes it is amazing what some people will make use of rather than just get the correct parts. |
