And some Redneck Windchimes:

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
That thing I made y'all are guessing at?
More metal added. Still more metal to come: https://www.gwellwood.com/wordpress/...41-672x378.jpg |
Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
I've also done the redneck windchimes many times :lol:
I like the tip on bolts. I'll have to use that with the flux core wire I got with my welder that I'll probably never use to actually weld with |
Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Painted some driveline parts:

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Detroit TrueTrac ordered. I love those diffs...

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
great looking finish on the axle and trailing arms.
I have been trying to find an eaton truetrac - nobody seems to have them in stock at the moment... Quote:

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
For my Ford 9", it's one diff for all gears.
For the 12-bolt in my '77 C10, you have to run 3.73:1 and up gears; they don't have one for taller gears. I've ordered all of mine from Summit Racing out of the states. |

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Ah - didn't spot the Ford 9 - that should handle that turbo motor :-)
Summit have usually been good at getting stuff but even they have a shortage of 12 bolt stuff - maybe everyones building trucks :-) plenty more for me to be doing though so Ill be patient... Quote:

I prefer 6.5" speakers up front, but I cannot fit those in this dash. I bought a pair of 5.25" Rockford Fosgate speakers, and angling them slightly -might- give me a bit better soundstage. Also bought a Pioneer head unit, and y'all are going to hate me for cutting the dash, but it's not like a dash hole is the only thing keeping this truck from originality (grin). |

I didn't think about speakers. Will they be under the dash in the factory spot, or are you going to mount it on the firewall, pointing towards the cab?
A single din, Pioneer unit fits well in the factory location. Want to trade dash cutouts? :lol: |
Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
In the original spot under the dash. I need to add/lengthen some slots.
|
Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
I bet that will sound better with the angle than just both pointed straight up.
I might have to steal your idea on that |
Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
I have two 5.25" 2-way in my '77, both pointing straight up. Marginal "sound stage" and next to zero "stereo" effect. I'm hoping this makes a difference.

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
that is "some assembly" - nice jump on the chassis build :hot:

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Added a flange, and then welded some studs to the dash and this:

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
The 4L80E is freaking MINT inside. Super clean, and all the clutches are in spec!
|
Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Ordered a full set of gaskets, new sprags just 'cuz, a TH400 direct piston, and extra friction and steel, and stuff to rollerize everything.

Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Detroit TrueTrac arrived.
Trying to get the interior ready for painting this weekend. |
