Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
At first I thought it was real. But something looked a little funny, like how clean the streets were. They had me fooled for a while. Awesome stuff :metal:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
You know at first I was expecting some pictures of blow up dolls.:lol: Way cool. I wonder how he waxes them. Ya, he needs alittle trash, maybe some gang signs on the sides of the buildings, few crack hoes just to make it alittle more realistic. What color was your truck.:lol:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Found the center bolt Valve covers I was looking for from Speedway Motors.
http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...47_PvDs5-M.jpg I've started porting my heads before I send them in to get hot tanked, milled and new valve seats with a 3 angle valve job. Next money I save for will be to rebuild the rest of the motor. This motor was in my 1990 Snap-On Box Van, that I put a new motor in. I kept the core motor. I bought this van brand new. So this engine has sentimental value. I thought it had burnt valves in it, because it had bad compression, and had loss power. Now that I tore it apart 13 years later it turned out it was only the timing chain. :lol: It was faster for me to just put a crate motor from GM. I had to be back on the road selling Diagnostic Equipment after the weekend. Wish I looked into it a little further. But I'm going to have a sweet motor for my 65. http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...98_exmH6-M.jpg http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...02_hiWeu-M.jpg[/IMG] |

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Dennis, have you been helping Norm with the crewcab? I see he has a new engine ready. You guys can have an installation party! I'll come help if available. I will be retiring this year so I am gonna have a lot more time on my hands to finish things up.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I'll come up for breakfast! Oh and what are those piggys doing? I helped Norm install the 4.11 pumpkin in his rear end. We work well together.
|
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I was wondering what responses I would get posting those piggies. :lol:
Yeah Norm is easy to get along with. Wonder why he's not on this forum much. |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Now you know. Anything else you what to post? |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Sorry about the pig thing! I really opened up a can of worms now! Well the girlfriend would explain his lack of posting up. Because he is otherwise occupied.;)

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
OK Back to business.
I finally got to drop the rear of the cab over the frame so the lines would line up with the bed. The cab was tilting forward too much. I cut where I cut before, but 2 inches more. After I cut a piece of the floor across the back out and cut the sides, I then tied the cab down on the hoist arms. Then jacked up the floor to make it bend up and stay there. Then I filled the pie cuts. I also boxed the bottom, but forgot to take pictures of it. That's what happens when people stop buy to bull $hit. :lol: http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...15_FqoxZ-M.jpg http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...83_QBWsS-M.jpg http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...09_BJ3pn-M.jpg |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Shop is looking way to clean.:lol: You did'nt clean it up just for us did you? Good to see you getting it done.;)

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Before I took the cab off again, I made some rear cab mounts with the sitting correctly with the bed. Then I took it all off the hoist, and separated all of it. I can still work on the cab. I just have to roll it out on the dollys. But before that I will start on the frame, and install the links, and air bags. I still have plenty of work left on the frame.
At least now I have use of the lift again. http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...77_zGhn5-M.jpg These are the new cab mounts. http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...90_Qcgzg-M.jpg http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...98_cmzwT-M.jpg http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/1965...40_QdR65-M.jpg |

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I have a built in vac. in my garage. Helps a lot. I've had to take it apart twice because of metal I sucked up. Could live without it.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Nice to see some progress. :metal:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
About time you get some work done.
Now I just wish someone would get on mine and tell me to do some work. You know being messed up in the head really does effect what you like to do. What you doing with all those Intro's I'll take 5 of those. doesn't matter if they match I'll get the same size tire. |
