QUOTE from Alan's Classics........
I struck a pretty good deal I think on this aluminum radiator that a friend of mine took out of his 72 Chevelle. Now I have to figure out how to mount it. Hey Shannon you got an old 67-72 core support and top radiator hold downs still? I've got some bungee cords laying around here, but you'd have to pay shipping:lol:. ...nice work on the cab. |

Making progress on the project that is keeping me from progress on my truck.
It's getting close to completion. http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...a/DSC08595.jpg http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...a/DSC08607.jpg http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...a/DSC08605.jpg |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Alan, I had an idea for my gas tank supports. And since it seems you want to put a speaker back there I thought I would share with you. I plan on making a speaker box in roughly the same shape as the gas tank. I figured it was long enough to put maybe a 8" or 10" speaker in the middle and mount the amp on the box to the right of the straps and a capacitor on the left. I also planned on using the gas tank straps to hold it in place. I want to use the old velvet and resin trick to smooth it out nice so it can be painted to match the interior. Haven't done it yet, but that is the plan anyways.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Top notch work as always Alan. I really enjoy seeing the work that you do.
One thing I thought I'd mention on mounting that radiator. Don't forget to check for clearance where the inner fenders bolt to the radiator support, and also check for interference with the battery tray. Some of those radiators are too wide to fit between there without modification to the inner fenders, and moving the battery tray over. You may have already thought of this, but thought I'd mention it just in case. |

Re: My 1965 build thread
Alan, if you don't want to do all the modifications necessary to use that radiator, you could just get one of the universal aluminum radiators from Summit. The #380328 will fit without modding the inner fenders, but you will have to move the battery over. I believe that #380325 will fit without anny mods. ChiefRocka did a writeup when he did his but I think he used the #380324.....look in his build thread.

This is what I mocked up today just to get a visual of what needs to be done. http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08676.jpg Today I was also able to mock the bed up to check a few things. http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08667.jpg I like the stance, I got a stiffy :lol: http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08675.jpg I'm kind of digging the rally wheel look. Just paint the wheels the color that is on the frame. http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08673.jpg Left side tire clearance. There is a little more than it looks, but I think I will roll the lip. The axle is centered in the frame. http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08668.jpg Rt side http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08671.jpg |

That does sit good Alan. I think rallys on these trucks are pretty hard to beat, but with all of the little(and big) custom touches, you need just a little :bling2: Just my $.02, but I'm sure whatever direction you go will be a solid choice. |
Re: My 1965 build thread
:ack:What?:eek:

Re: My 1965 build thread
Should have gotten a shlong bed. :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
The stance looks awsome. Put me down for a vote on the ralleys.
Man you are seriously making want a 65 or 66 for my next project. |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Just to clarify the intent of my last post--I wasn't meaning 20-plus inch rims and such. I was thinking of some nice polished aluminum 17's to kinda go with the custom theme of the truck. Again, this is just my opinion and I know it will look good no matter what Alan decides.

Re: My 1965 build thread
I like the ralleys........ Nice!!!! Chris........

Re: My 1965 build thread

I had plans of running this side fill door. But I don't know if it will work because of the custom side trim. I think the filler will be mounted too low to allow easy fuel flow to the tank. I'll have to study it some more. http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08460.jpg |
Re: My 1965 build thread
what about me!!!!
i want a response too!!! ;) :lol: |
