Hey Scot ,Looks like it went over well !! Is it running OK now??

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I decided to swap the engine out of ol'blue.. So that ment I had to remove truck #1 (the green one) from the main garage and move it to the rear garage ... Sounds simple right ? well first I had to remove the acumulated junk from around it since I had lost interest in it bout a year ago .. then removed all the junk from the rear of it and proceeded to rearrange all the body panels and place them in the back in an organized way .. next I had to hang a temporary gas tank off the inner fender , (since it is missing the fenders and doors , seat and gas tank ..replace the distributor I robbed for truck #1 and it fired right up and I drove it to the rear garage ... Now I have a days worth of cleaning before I can start tomorrows project ...

That is always a good thing when they roar to life after sitting for a while. I have decided to build a new motor for my truck. I have never built my own motor and I have no idea what I want (except 400hp), so we'll see how it goes. Pray for me, everyone!

I wired in a 5 pin trailer plug on my 64 a little different to do here than your 4 pin in USA over here we have to our trailer brake lights seperate from our turn signals. Took me a while but I figured it out turn signals wired to front ones and run brake lights straight off the brake switch. Got me thinking though.

Lakeroadster,

Yes I am taking it back to stock.....I very happy with this truck, it is very solid.

As my chassis been cut I am looking to buy a short bed frame to throw truck on plus I have a short bed stepside that was given to me.

A guy out here in Cali wants $250 for a complete rolling SB chassis...What do you think?

Thanks,
el_bole

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

i think i'd do that for 250. you could powder coat the frame and replace all the bushings maybe add a newer front end with disc brakes...all while still driving your truck....sounds like a winner to me.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Bobby,

Thanks for the info...either way I am going to end up spending $.

A buddy of mine has a frame he is willing to just give me (62' gmc longbed).. but then I got to look for a bed that will fit....prolly $150-250 for a decent bed....

If I kept mine(chopped and all) I would have to pay someone to fab the SB stepside into a LB, at least in front....Probabaly $200 +JOB!

So I think you are absolutely right Bobby, what the rate for powder coating a frame?

Thanks,
Roberto:chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

By the way....I have a SB step side that I scored off craigslist for free....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

We hosted our grandsons Ethans 2nd. Birthday Party, had a good time. Had to roll the truck out of the garage so we could run the A/C and have an extended party when it got too hot (95 degrees yesterday) things went well, got some good pictures of the truck in bright sunlight, colors look better than before.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Cutting up bed
 

:chevy:
:devil:

Took the grinder AKA metal cutter to the rear of my custom bed to remove the caddy tail lights....

Harder than I expected but got one off at least....
Plans are to either put them on a reg. fleetside bed vertically(the way the should be IMO) or to put them on my SB step side bed.....fenders or right by tail gate IDK.....

Great work everyone,
