Thanks !!!!!
Thanks.....After looking again...... Guess I'll use some short valve covers since these heads have the raised lips, they should clear the roller rockers.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

Well 198plus based on the work I have seen on Alans project your ins great hands.

Looking good

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

Ran in to another problem......Figures :lol:....... I posted how good my headers fit and they do, but number two and three cylinder spark plugs hit the headers with the angle plug heads.......So I have to run Accel shorty plugs.....Problem solved, I hope.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

If that's your only problem you ought to be thanking the good lord....Congrats. and your rig is looking sharp.

Re: 198Plus build
 

Well I got bored today and started bolting stuff back together. New doors fit really well, and new fenders fit pretty good......I'm just trying to get everything put back together to see if I really have a truck :lol:

Re: 198Plus build
 

Wow thats looking good with all the new panels :chevy:

Re: 198Plus build
 

Where did you get your fenders. Did they fit ok? Your truck is coming together.;) Did you ever figure out why it was uneven in the back?

Re: 198Plus build
 

Thanks !!!!!!

Thanks !!!!!!

Got the fenders from Goodmark, they look pretty good only problem I see I'm going yo have to cut a little place on top lip where it mates with the inner fender so it can slide forward about 1/8" .........I'm pretty sure its the springs I'm going to lower the truck next week, should solve the problem.....I hope ;)

Re: 198Plus build
 

yeah it looks great now but it will look alot better lowered

Re: 198Plus build
 

I can't wait to get it lowered and to get some real tires under it :)

Re: 198Plus build
 

I got a fender from ccgtruck on ebay and the fit is excellent but same thing have to trim top lip where it meets the inner fender cowl area. $219.00 shipped. BTW trucks looking good.

Re: 198Plus build
 

Hey allan do you think this can be repaired?http://s84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...g/Truck%20Bed/

Re: 198Plus build
 

some real tires whats wrong with those
send them to me :D

Re: 198Plus build
 

They are not tall enough and need to be wider..........I can send them to you, just get the check in the mail :lol:

Re: 198Plus build
 

I think I've heard that "Checks in the mail" stuff before. Why is your garage so empty? You need to get some posters and some tools and stuff and stuff in there. You know turn it into the man cave.I like this poster. Just trying to give you some ideas. http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/479486680_qpMsc-M.jpg

Re: 198Plus build
 

This is what it should look like.:lol: http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/472087321_dVtjn-L.jpg The idea is to get so much stuff in there that your truck can't fit.

Re: 198Plus build
 

Because I'm broke......I do have tools........ Desk, Stereo, ashtray, pack of smokes, phone charger, clock, and a chair........Few spiders too ?????

Guess I do need some posters and I'll get pole for some of the girls from the (PINK PONY) to keep me entertained :lol:

Re: 198Plus build
 

I'm liking the pole idea.:lol: Maybe a removable one so when the old lady is home you can just stash it somewhere. I think I would like this pony place. Ya, from what I saw on the web I think it's my kinda place. I'll have to go there when I get a chance. We have next to nothing in Idaho.

Re: 198Plus build
 

Me and Dave are gonna come visit you when you get the pole. gotta see the pink pony

Re: 198Plus build
 

I was thinking that's why he's broke. I'll bet that pink pony place could be hard on your wallet.:lol::hot:

Re: 198Plus build
 

I'm trying to set all the body lines on my truck and I'm not no body man, I need help. I Put my tail gate on and I have a problem, The back left corner of tail gate does not line up.....The other side is fine, I've loosened all bolts to try to line it up and still no luck. I don't think its the tailgate warped at least I hope not after all the money I spent on it......Any suggestions ?????

Re: 198Plus build
 

Maybe your truck is warped.:waah: Maybe take your tailgate off and put it on a flat surface to see if it's warped or the truck bedsides. I'll bet you might have to adjust the bedsides alittle. Don't really know. :lol::lol: I think I would try to bend it a little. Put a block of wood on the other side then push on the side that wont shut. Maybe try to get a tree involved somehow.:lol: Looks warped. If you move the other sides bottom out it would help it. Maybe it's one of those ones you just have to slam really hard. I have one on my Ford like that.

:whine:...:whine:...:whine:...:whine:...:whine:...:whine: !!!!!!!!!!

Re: 198Plus build
 

It's hard to see everything that might be wrong in the pic. But almost anything can be repaired. It all depends on the experience level and or how deep the pockets are.;)

Talked to Ronnie earlier and he said he leveled the bed up and the Tailgate looks alot better. I also mentioned the block of wood to twist it if he needs too..

Re: 198Plus build
 

What there's no trees involved? I had it all wrong. Damn:lol:

Re: 198Plus build
 

No you where right.........Block of wood :haha:

Re: 198Plus build
 

I should have said a tree limb.;)

Re: 198Plus build
 

Thought I would post this..........This is what you call a man cave ;)

Re: 198Plus build
 

Only one of them has a toolbox. What kind of man cave doesn't have any tools? There was some nice cars though.

Re: 198Plus build

Re: 198Plus build

Re: 198Plus build

Re: 198Plus build

Re: 198Plus build
 

I'll have to make it up to her. I guess I close the door on her too much. :haha:

Re: 198Plus build
 

I forget is'nt she also on the other side of the door? What does that door go to anyway? :lol:

Re: 198Plus build
 

It is the front door of the shop. I have the front picture of her on the wall next to the door.
