Re: Daverods 52
 

I wouldn't put it in the listing. Thats just an opinion you know. Truck is looking good, i like the car tag idea.
nice work

Re: Daverods 52
 

Did some more then I ran out of roof. When I got my truck it did'nt have a linner so I don't know what to do. In need to ancor the plates to sonthing. I was thinking some kind of arched metal brace. I don't want it to rattle though.:smoke: Maybe every 5 inches or so? It looks like the old liner was foam glued to the roof? Are a dogs balls round or pear shaped ? So many ??

Re: Daverods 52
 

Your dog looks like he's saying "What the fu*k did you do that for?.:haha:

Re: Daverods 52
 

I wonder how bright it will be in the cab with the reflection off the luminous plates from headlights of oncoming cars OR from the flashing lights of the squad car that has you pulled over.
The dog just wants to fertilize the money tree again...........

Re: Daverods 52
 

Maybe I can get somekinda anti reflective clear paint? I don't know how bad it will be? The flash seems to make it worse than it is.:mm:

Re: Daverods 52
 

if you post that trans on CL, I would be open about what it can and cant be used for. You might save someone else the headache you went through ya know. dog pics are great, lets see that truck on the road with killer in the bed

Re: Daverods 52
 

You need a 700r4 from a 4.3 or up. 2.8 and smaller motors have the small shaft.

Re: Daverods 52
 

Small shaft no good.:sumo:

Re: Daverods 52
 

rivit rivit;) On the way to work I picked up 4 tires at a yard sale for 80. At lunch I put them on Craigs. Sold them at 530 for 150. Ya got to luv easy money. Pays for 1/2 a gal of paint.

Re: Daverods 52
 

Another thing to look for is the case with the big 'K', they have supposedly (from what I read) thicker castings in the stressed areas. I found mine behind a 4.3 and rebuilt it for a 5.7.

Re: Daverods 52
 

Did you do it or have it done? How much to rebuild it. I was thinking of just buying a new/rebuilt one. I just looked I see you did it yourself.

Re: Daverods 52
 

Yep, did it myself... bought a rebuild video, and a Monster in a Box kit and went at it...

Monkey see, monkey do!

Haven't started the truck up yet... so can't say if it works or not... lol.

Cheers,
Ted.

Re: Daverods 52
 

I priced a 700r4 through Idaho Transmission Warehouse in Idaho Falls and they quoted me a grand to buy one from them with a core or the same price if they rebuild yours. That was about 3 months ago when I talked to them.

Re: Daverods 52
 

I was looking on ebay seemed like some good deals there.:mm:

Re: Daverods 52
 

Rivit rivit.;) Who needs a head liner. It's really quite solid. Couple more hours left. Think it'll get my windows tinted.

Re: Daverods 52
 

It's going to glow in there when headlight lights hit it. Is that why your tinting the windows? :haha:

Re: Daverods 52
 

maybe... I think there ia also a paint that stops the reflection. I think by the time the seats are in and I put alittle curtain in the back window it will be ok. Went camping saw a couple cool old trucks. The patina on the orange one was very cool. Much brighter than the pic.

Re: Daverods 52
 

That's my kind of camping....

Re: Daverods 52
 

:smoke:Went to a good car show at WestYellowstone. Saw a cool rat in the parking lot. Picked up a dead cow for my seat.:smoke:

Re: Daverods 52
 

Like the gas gage idea. I'm going to use it with a keg for a tank.

Re: Daverods 52
 

Hahaha. That cow hide goes on a mechanical bull. Don't ask me how I know

Re: Daverods 52
 

That first picture in post 459 sure looks like a lot of vintage iron there in the background... you did not find anything ???
The cow hide looks like a good seat cover or a fun winter rug in the Tipi :lol:

Re: Daverods 52
 

I went for a trip into the woods to get the rest of the truck I took the frame from and someone took the cab. They also took another truck that was there. It would have been some good yard art.:lol: My bud said he found a coupe. He told me were to look but i did'nt find it. Said it had a good cab and grill.. Next weekend.:metal: The guy at the car show wanted 1000 each for those bodies in the picture.:uhmk: I love the hide I drove around all weekend with in the old ladies truck. Now I just have to find out what goes under it. All I have is the springs.

Re: Daverods 52
 

I never like telling people what I do but.....

Re: Daverods 52
 

That thing looks like fun. Ya, you need my hide.

Re: Daverods 52
 

Old truck hunting is better than hunting animals. :metal: The trucks are already dead. :lol:

Re: Daverods 52
 

It all depends on what you consider fun... Hehehehe

Re: Daverods 52
 

I hope my seat turns out that nice. I still need to break it in.:lol:

Re: Daverods 52
 

Hey I noticed the Grease Gas and Girls tin you had hanging on the wall, I like that. I like the license plates. boy that is gonna be loud in there!!

Re: Daverods 52
 

I don't see why it would be loud. My 64 has a metal head liner. Oh ya I forgot it's kinda loud in there too. That's what the 7.1 surround sound is for. What?;) The plates are really solid. I rivited them all together. It's kinda like a plate roll cage.

Re: Daverods 52
 

well, I say that because I only have a cardboard headliner and my cab gets loud with windows up or down. It sucks when you are trying to have a conversation with someone, I got quite a bit of deadener on the floor and firewall, I think next time I am going to undercoat the whole hood and under the inner fenders. I think they are the culprits.

anyway, when we gonna see a test drive??

Re: Daverods 52
 

do you need a set of plates from the motherland? Dave.
ron

Re: Daverods 52
 

I do have one from BC in my 64. But I'm always wantin some plates.;) Most the ones in my 52 are new. I buy them in lots of ten from some guys that buys all the left over ones.:uhmk:

Test drive is still a ways off. I still need a lot of stuff. Wiring harness,keg tank, brakes/brake lines/gas lines/new transmission, driveline cut, exhaust, and on and on and on. If I stay busy during the winter I hope to have it running by summer. All depends on the money tree. Might have to cash in my gold teeth.

Re: Daverods 52
 

Get the Dawg to water the money tree!!!

Re: Daverods 52
 

I'm sick of watching this thing grow. I'm going hunting;)

Re: Daverods 52
 

Then stop looking at porn, and go to work. :haha: :haha:

Re: Daverods 52
 

Awfully quiet around here while you are camping in the woods....:splat:
Happy Hunting!!

Re: Daverods 52
 

Camping with bows.:lol:

Re: Daverods 52
