Re: My 1965 build thread
Hey Alan,
On post 72 of your build page I see the holes for all the after market parts don't match up. I have that same dilemma and can solve that, but my front cab brace doesn't come out far enough to meet the outer or inner rocker. It is probably 1/2" short and is all the way out. Think i should try to go back and add on to it on the inboard side or bush over the bolts in the gap? I'll post some pics on my post tonight. Bob |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Well you were busy the last couple days, while I was out goofing off at a truck show. It looks GREAT Alan!

NASA called and they said you've got to take out a permit to have something that bright here on Earth.

I spent my lunch hour plus some trying to find this fitting for the back of the ac compressor. This is my coworkers truck. He didn't know where to get it, he paid someone else to do that stuff. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...0/DSC09446.jpg Here is a link to nostalgicairparts.com They also have bulkheads for the firewall. http://www.nostalgicairparts.com/ima...sqbulkhead.jpg When it comes to plumbing I'm a little slow. I'm looking for the fittings to make this work. I imagine it is a -6 line, but I think I need a metric to an AN fitting on the pump so I can run steel braided line. Then I will need the same style that is standard to AN for the gearbox. I did a few searchs and alot of reading and looking and never could find my answer. Again my coworkers truck for an example http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...0/DSC09455.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...0/DSC09458.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...0/DSC09457.jpg |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Hey Alan,
Thanks for that air conditioning link! I have been looking for some good dash vents cheap and they seem to have them. Here is another link for compressor blocks and a lot of other air conditioning stuff. http://www.docsblocks.com/default.asp The truck is looking awesome!! TR |

Hey Alan,
The english power steering gear should use these fittings to convert to #6AN Aeroquip FBM2964 5/8-18 male inverted flare to #6 AN male $6.95 Summit Aeroquip FBM2965 11/16-18 male inverted flare to #6 AN male $7.95 Summit Then the #6 right angle hose ends will fit those like Earl's EAR-809106ERL TR |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Wow Alan the dash looks awesome all painted up! :metal:

Alan,
The English use inches, that's where we picked up the bad habit. The rest of Europe uses metric. Sorry for the confusion, English=Standard. Yep the 71 box would be English, whoops I mean Standard. TR |

Still working one cabinets. It's a long story. I'll leave it at that. Got a little sanding done. The back panel is done. I know that is so exciting. Finally finished installing my front shocks. Had to pick up some new lower bolts. It only took 4 months to do that.:lol: But, hey I can mark something off the list.:metal: http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09473.jpg While I was picking up bolts I picked up the long bolts for the motor mounts. I was missing one of coarse so I had to get 2 that matched. I was going from memory on what diameter bolts I needed. Well you know how the memory works. Thought the bolts were bigger than what they actually are. But did take the water pump off and paint it. Another thing off the list. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...e/DSC09475.jpg |

Re: My 1965 build thread
hey alan what is that stuff that you spread over panels to smooth them ive seen it on shows where they spread it over the whole panel
is it just regular body filler or is it a special filler its usually green |
Re: My 1965 build thread
thats poly fill. its alot smother and dosnet get near the pin holes or sand scratches. you can use it over primer also. but its hard as a rock. you can also use poly flex
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
how hard is poly flex which is better of the two
where do i get it |

Spent the evening sanding. Yehaw! http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09478.jpg Bottom of cab still in work. Sanding is bad enough, but laying underneath the cab makes it worse. I'm using DA's as much as possible. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09476.jpg Here are some DA's that I use. I hardly use the one on the right. It is very aggressive and the counter weight can bust knuckles and rip off fingernails. I know all too well. I love the one on the left. It has a fine cut and won't remove fingernails. The mini DA 3" is great for door jambs and tight areas. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC09479.jpg |
Re: My 1965 build thread
lol ive used all three love them also have the HOG.. for when I realy need to get the bondo off.
as far as which to use... poly flex is more for plastic or stuff that will flex more. poly fill is great as a final but only can bea about 1/6 to 1/32 thick or it will crack....its not somthink to use to fill anything . just kinda level.. you can use the same stuff as alan his slick sand method is best for large panels. |
