Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

TOO COOL! LMAO! keep it up McMurphy!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

awesome video!:metal:
We're going to expect a full series on every project from welding to paint from now on. You've already shown us you can ham it up for the camera!:lol:

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Thanks Bomp, likewise on the lookout !!
I have already started the premise for 2 more vids, I guess my sense of humor translates to video far better than it does in written words...
Thanks again for all your inspiration !!

Hey dbomb !! Man I check out your build all the time !.... well all the time you update it LOL
Thanks for taking a look at my stuff, and very glad you got a chuckle out of it.

Ok Chad... Like I said above, already got the ideas for 2 more lined up. So I guess stay tuned eh?

**********************************************************

It is supposed to "warm up" to zero degrees this weekend and snow!
Yay.

Yesterday the shock absorbers I posted about waaaaaay back in July (page 20) arrived. I tried to get them tru a local parts store, and got tired of waiting so as soon as I saw they were offered on Amazon.com I ordered them.

They are Gabriel Load Carriers Part numbers 34036 Front and 43093 Rear for this year half ton trucks. Like I said last summer, we have them on our classic cars and love them.

Here they are unboxed and frosting over because they were so cold !!

Attachment 1023236

Rear P-side in.
Attachment 1023242

Attachment 1023243

funny how the arrival of new parts can be so motivating!!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

New parts motivating,,,yes,,,,warming up to 0? Don't even know what to say. 0. Thats with a Z. 0.
No wonder you ain't said nothin in the vids. Your teeth are chattering.:haha:

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Looking good Man!!!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

great videos and awesome sense of humour..being in Canada I can relate to the winter wrenching. ya just gotta grin an bear it or nothing gets done. and yes we get happy when we say its warming up to 0 degrees. lol
59 degrees to us is shorts and t shirt time.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Hey Sarge. you said from Bomp's build thread:
Quote:
[/hijack on] Yes there is still the Santa Shop, and the 42 foot tall Santa, and all the streets named as you would expect. I am hoping Santa will not mind being a key part in the Christmas Special video I have planned; so stay tuned !! [\hijack off]

I had to come over and see what all the excitement is about! I had to subscribe and now I know my day will be pretty much gone by going back and reading through the whole thing! The videos are absolutely killer!

I'm dropping you a PM.

Thanks for serving our country!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

shocks look great, shes coming right along, i love the way you broke up the supension with the silver and reds:metal:

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

[/hijack on] Ya all crack me up. :haha: Does not bother me one bit to get hijacked. Guess you could figure its like everyones hangin' out at a buddys house"[\hijack off]:ennyd:
Ditto on serving.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

MOVE SOUTH... you shouldn't be anywhere where there's no degrees.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

When it gets to be 60 below 0, I am going to take a marqee photo just for you Bomp! Probably one on post, possibly the hospital where I work !!

Thank you Ta2Don !!

It is certainly a learning experience up here.
I hope to be done learning... up here .... so I can leave and never come back. Though I know I will never complain about the cold, long winters, or endless night ever again !!

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you find something in this mish-mash mess of a build thread that is usefull for you !!


Thanks Flips, but I dont think I am going to be lifting my tires off the ground like you are !!


Wife and I dig your newest video.... Didnt seem like you got a lot of work done, but sure looked like fun!!
And I totally appreicated the crime scene approach!! Funny stuff there !

Dude, I am counting the days .... Trust me !!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

[rant on] If it were up to me, there would be a task force with clear access across all international borders and their sole purpose in life would be the tracking down of people who write malicious code for computers.

They would then surgically remove both of that persons hands, sew the stumps together, and blind them in one eye as a warning for any future infractions.

That crap is criminal on the same level as jacking a car IMO.

And if you attempt to jack my car, well .... there are 11 rounds of 9mm just dying to meet you. [rant off]

Sorry for that, but 2 of my computers are infected with junk right now, one is an ad browser, and the other has the fake FBI bullsssssssshhhhhhhttttt on it.
It is so tedious to go in and remove that crap manually.

Dont these gomers know I have better things to do with my time?? :devil:

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Yep, I agree

I just don't understand the mentality of a person having a sole goal in life to screw with as many peoples computers as possible.




Anyway back to the build at hand..............here is a pic of that '63-'65 trans crossmember that I have. However since yesterday, I rea;ized that your truck is a '66, so you should not need the crossmember with the e-brake brackets. You just need a '66 and up crossmember. That is unless you are planning on using the '63-'65 e-brake assembly.

Please excuse the grunge on the crossmember....didn't have time to clean it up.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

that video was bananas !! so got skills my friend :lol::lol::lol: and stay warm

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

I just watched your latest vid McMurphy..........:thumbs: :)

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

You are to kind.
I would tie a rope around one of those hackers ankle and the other end on a bumper of one of these fine trucks. Then at exactly 3 miles per hour just drive and drive and drive. Non stop.
Drive for the next 6600 miles or so. If they make it then their free to go.
I lost a computer a few years back to an email zip file.
Now I'm all fired up. Out to the shop to smash something I go.
Peace Brother.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

at least you guys know how to fix them, you should be like me and have to pay someone to do it for you, now that stinks.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Hey McMurphy, what video editing software do you use, not so I can go kookoo like you and bomp, want to take some game video and put together some helpful videos with narration for my team (coach a kids travel hockey team).

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Thanks for the photo! From the dash to the firewall I am using the 1985 E-brake pedal and assembly, and so far that cable is still attached. From there it reverts back to the original 1966 set up, though I will have to mod and/or replace parts of that set up as the main cable is broken.

As far as a crossmember goes, I may just order one I saw in my Brothers Catalog. They have a sale going on right now.


Thank you for looking Dino !! I know you are a busy guy, so I really appreciate the time you took to look it up and sit thru it!

All in the name of good humor my friend ! :metal:

Yeah they really piss me off.
Worse yet is the computer with the FBI virus on it is the one I pretty much only use to lurk this board, and shop Craigslist; so I really dont know where I could have picked it up at.....

Sometimes I have to succumb and put one of mine in the shop too.
Matter of fact I have two that are waiting to go, as their problems are beyond my skill set.

I use Cyberlink PowerDirector, it is an easy interface to work with, and I dont have to pre-convert any files. I can load a clip that was shot in WMP from windows, another that was shot in Quicktime MOV format, and load up music files that are just as varied; compile my presentation and the program will render it all together in what ever format I desire.
I usually render my end products as MPEG. The standard program comes with way more features than I will ever use so for a hack like me it is purely good enough.
After all I am just trying to share an idea, not shooting an episode of Star Wars.....

Any more questions you may have please feel free to ask, I like being mildly useful !! :lol:

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Glad it ain't just me, I got the DOJ virus also. Didn't want to spend that Hundy, but I got tuned up in the process. Hope you get fixed soon!

And mildly useful you are my friend:haha:
Thanks, appreciate that, I will post up my first attempt in my build thread.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
 

Sgt. the build is looking good. Nice job on the fab work. I love the videos. Keep it up and you can be nominated for an Emmy Award. Keep up the good work. :chevy:
