Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Thanks Dennis. I'll see if I can get the other one done by the end of the week if I have time. I love the "stock tubbed" look.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Very nice . I see Delmo just added a piece to the inside instead of the center. That would make it half as much welding? yours looks more orginal though. I don't think his has the rounded edge.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

nice work on the tubs !!

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I like the "looks like stock only better", or the "what the hell did he do here" look.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Thanks Dennis. Any suggestions for what to do with the extra couple inches in the wheel well?

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Do you mean like putting a big a$$ tire, and wider rims in there. :metal:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Bigger tire for now and room to expand later. :metal:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

The bigger the better. :metal:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I've had two cups of coffee and I'm headed out to the garage.:ack:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Must be nice...some of us have to work for a living :)

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Oh I work, I just keep a little different hours than most. I did a pinup shoot yesterday and "worked" for about 12 hours.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

12 hours you must be beat. I do 6 and I have to go home cause my back hurts. Funny it never hurts when I'm working on my truck or goofing off.:lol: I count my coffie by the pots.:uhmk:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Work??? What's that. If you love what you do you will never work a day in your live. :metal:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I love shooting photos. It's all the rest of the business that feels like work.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

MORE, MORE:metal:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

your work looks like fun to me

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Last one then back to those sexy tubs.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

When does she start takin stuff off.:lol::lol:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Here's a naked one for you Dave.:haha:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Damn those tubs look good.:metal: Almost X rated. :haha:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

looks like a fun job, great work on the photos (and truck)...man, that's a beautiful, real, pin-up...i typically like those old fashioned ones better than the ones with all the tats

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I got the seats yesterday and they're really nice. They fit like they were made for the truck too. The lines on the side trim are perfect for the area where the seat mounts. There are a few marks that will probably clean right off and I had to pick shattered glass out from between the cracks, but I'm really happy with them.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

The donor door's holes are a little lower in the front and don't line up so I'll have to fill em' and drill new ones to line up. The bed trim is 20" longer than the bed. It must have grown over the last few years when it was on the shelf.:lol:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

That's weird.:smoke: Seats look good.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

The seats look really good, but I would take off the head rests. Just my 2 cents. :metal:

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Great job on the wheel tubs, I like. Those seats look good, I went with 99-06 buckets, but I like those better....

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I thought of that but I don't mind them sticking up in the window. If I do take them off the seat backs will be flush with the bottom of the window.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Thanks Tommy. I'm keeping an eye on your build too. How the hell do you crack an oil pump? Watch for the o ring on the pick up tube too. That's the culprit with a lot of oil pressure problems. There are two different colors or o ring and they're specific to the pick up tube you have. If you buy a Melling it will have both in the box and a diagram telling you which to use.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

That's why I said to take them off.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I took a couple real pics tonight instead of the usual camera phone shots. I put the steering column back in to see how much room I had and get a feel for where the wheel is going to be. I almost have to squeeze my leg under the wheel when I get in. I'll probably get a smaller diameter aftermarket wheel at some point but it will work for now. I think I'm probably going to use the stock clutch and brake pedals. I adjusted both as far back as I think they'll need to go and they're in a comfortable spot. I also got some pics of the cab seams I welded.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Where did you get the seats what are they out of? I will be in need of some for my 67

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

:ack: Is that paint I see.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

The seats are out of an 09 Silverado standard cab. They're all manual so no electrical to deal with. I got them off ebay from a seller called gandaauto08 out of Troy, Michigan.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

There's a few spots on the cab that aren't stripped down to bare metal, but not many eagle eye.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Your moving along quickly :metal:

I like the seats, they do look like they fit well. Do you have them bolted in? I had to make some plates for my 05 seats to fit.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

No, they're not bolted in yet but it doesn't look like it will take much work either. I'm going to reenforce the floor, drill and bolt em in. I probably won't do it any time soon. They're just sitting there so I can fit everything up around them. I'm getting my transmission on Monday evening, if it's on time, and I'll just keep them in there till I see where the stick lines up. I'm going to clean them up and put them away till I finish the the dirty work. I'll take pics and post them when I do it.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

You could always do a tilt column to get in & out if you don't want to go to a smaller aftermarket wheel...

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

I love the seats. Be glad you didn't go power, mine were a NIGHTMARE. 38 wires to sort through and ended up using a total of 16 per seat.

I was going to get Silverado seats, but I wanted something a little more old man.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

Do the shoulder and lap belts come connected to the seats??

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
 

"38 wires to sort through"

That's exactly what I was trying to avoid Jimmydean.

I think it's the law that you can't sell seat belts after the car has been in a wreck. They didn't come with the seats and I'll have to figure something else out.
