Awesome project Scoti. I'm in for the ride.

Re: Project: Recycle
 

Any thing new on the trucks?

Scoti

What is the latest on your projects? Did you get your dually finished so that you can get back to this one?

Re: Project: Recycle
 

Nope.....

I did sandblast the accessory brackets this weekend to get everything looking nice & uniform. That was the one of the projects that needed to be completed so the front of the motor can be put to bed. I have to procure a couple of 'wearables' for the accessories this week, a splash of color, & I'll be done w/that.

The motor is still sitting on the stand in the garage. I'll need help getting things installed w/o screwing up painted items & my buddy has been working the last 3 Saturdays @ work. I feel he works hard enough as it is & don't want him to have to put in a Sunday as well turning wrenches. He did clean up a spare pair of v.covers for me in their parts cleaning tank for the re-install as well as cleaned the oil-cooler hard lines. I tried soaking the v.covers in degreaser & it wasn't getting them clean (lot's of crusty stuff).

It's looking like it might get slid back into place over the Thanksgiving weekend (pending the weather). With the holidays coming, that means a busier work schedule so I won't get back on the 64 until after the new year....

Re: Project: Recycle
 

well I started this thread yesterday and just finished. You do quality work and when you do you take good photos. The dually was really a surprise, I hope to be aqble to follow the 64 until the end.

Re: Project: Recycle
 

Wow.... a blast from the past. I'm getting back into the swing of things after a mid-life change-up that I was not expecting (in addition to the dually engine swap). It's taken some time but I'm making progress on the dually again (it basically became a project). I'm wrapping up the engine compartment wiring & hopefully will be installing the wheel-tubs + core support fairly soon (core support is painted & mostly assembled).

The chassis for the 64 is sitting @ a buddies house under a tarp & the 64 is in my shop now w/all of it's parts vs. split between where I was living & a storage facility.

Thanks for checking it out.

Re: Project: Recycle
 

Cool build, any new updates on this one?

Re: Project: Recycle
 

Dang

I saw this pop up on my alerts and thought Scoti was getting stuf done on it...

I hope he does get back on it soon. I might end up getting mine going before he does...LOL

Well Scoti?? what going on here, did you get your dually completed yet? Did you ever do a build thread on that one?

Re: Project: Recycle
 

No build thread for the dually even though it deserved one. Motor swap is done as is 90% of the suspension. Should be getting the extra front a-arms back today (last of the suspension mods).
Air system mounted & functional.
Carpet, Boom-mat, & MLV down on the floor. Buckets & console mounted. Material ordered. Headliner done.
Full stainless exhaust done.
Been contemplating bigger wheels but will likely stick w/16's just to get this distraction done & out of the way....

Plan was to be off this week & knock a few things out but unexpected issue (minor foot surgery) has limited activity so far. I'm up & at it today (hope the doc isn't reading this) & pushing forward. Meanwhile, Recycle is right here full of dust & moth-balls next in line.

Thanks for the interest & inquiries!

Re: Project: Recycle
 

Darn, I had my hope up also....

Re: Project: Recycle
 

LoL... I'll put some pics up of my dually to show I haven't been goofin' off.

Re: Project: Recycle
 

That's what I would do, you can always do wheels/tires later after you finish Recycle!:lol:

Re: Project: Recycle
 

Late to the party, but I'm in so I can see this one finished too.

Re: Project: Recycle
 

Didn't know of this one, but in for the ride!

Re: Project: Recycle
 

I just came across this build myself. Your frame work was great. I'll follow along to see it finished too.

Re: Project: Recycle
 

Dually build.....

64 related?

I'm always watching for deals on stuff I need (want).... I did secure a 9" rear w/3.50 ratio, posi, & disc brakes over the summer that's shorter vs the current 68 12bolt housing & recently purchased a wiper delay kit for when the interior is re-assembled. Still hunting for a decent column but might just get something aftermarket. I'm holding off for now but the other big purchases will be Vintage Air & alternative rolling stock (still traditional; just lighter ;) ).

Re: Project: Recycle
 

I'm ready for a recycle fix as well, glad to see ya on here haven't heard or seen anything in a while. I was kind of afraid it had been sold.

Re: Project: Recycle
 

Oh no..... definitely not selling anything. But, I'm a patient guy so sometimes things stretch out during lifes changes.

Re: Project: Recycle
 

Did you end up with buddy buckets in this truck? Luv the bbw conversion!

Re: Project: Recycle
 

Yes sir. They look just right.

Re: Project: Recycle
 

Come on Scoti, lets see some up to date pictures man.

Wade

Re: Project: Recycle
 

Not much to show. I just moved the chassis closer to me last week. Gotta get the big freakin dually out if the way 1st. I anticipate a summer resurrection.

Re: Project: Recycle
 

Great! I hope so. But I'm sure I can't be as ready as you are
