Alan what factory gear came in your rear end. Mine has 4.10's and I want to change to a 3.42 but not sure if I can use my same housing.

My 65 rear end had a 4.10 also, but I'm running a 72 rearend now. I believe it had a 3.08. I wanted a posi so everything got replaced. I could be wrong and more than likely I am, but I think 3.73 and up uses the same carrier (4 series??) Below 3.73 is a 3 series (I might have the series reversed). I don't think your carrier will work with a 3.42. I bought all of my stuff from Sadler Powertrain in Texas. He's on ebay and very helpful. I told him what trans, rearend, and tire sizes I was running and what RPM I wanted to be on the highway.

Congrats on your accomplishments. I thought you'd be use to long hours coming back from Iraq. JK You are taking pix right? How did the DP90 spray?

Dennis, where did you see his frame? I can't locate it?

I told him my engine is balanced and is on rubber mounts and it is all together and painted now. I told him I will take my chances. Now that will always be in my mind everytime I stomp on it.:sumo:

I will be running a TCI350 with a 2500 stall and a 3.42 eaton posi.

I wouldn't worry about it Alan. I've used several M-55's and M-55HV's and never had one break. Did he have an explanation for the interference with the other pump?

Re: My 1965 build thread

thanks for the comments, I'll have to start a thread. I knew mine was the 4 series. oh yeah i'm used to the long hours, but I'm not being shot at here.

Re: My 1965 build thread

the DP90 sprayed really good, my buddy told me to spray it on first with like a wrinkle affect for the second coat to adhear to it good, then I just had to turn down the air. I was surprised how well I got it. only second time I've sprayed paint this way, and the first time. lets just say fish eyes everywhere.

Re: My 1965 build thread

I hate fish eyes. S**t happens sometimes.

Re: My 1965 build thread

I'm good at spraying out of a rattle can, but I wanna learn a lot more with my gun.

Did you degrease your frame prior to spraying. One thing to remember, never have or use an silicone anywhere around where your spraying paint. So if you detail a car in the driveway and you use silicone for any reason it will create alot of problems.

I've been lucky to have experienced people around to ask questions. But I've learned the most from my mistakes. Mistakes suck and cost money and time, but very educational.

Re: My 1965 build thread

looks great. I opted to powder small parts. as I hate to try to sand in the cracks of brackets

Re: My 1965 build thread

Looking good Alan! :metal:

Re: My 1965 build thread

Re: My 1965 build thread

That is going to be astounding. :agree:

Re: My 1965 build thread

The hardest thing to sand is the roof inside the cab. It sure is tiring. Alan do you wet sand inside the cab also?
Thanks Ernest

Re: My 1965 build thread

I am goin to weld that seam up on the inside of the cab when I do my big window conversion i think.

Re: My 1965 build thread

when I sprayed my s10 bed I didn't degreese it, I never painted before and didn't know what I was doing, I just scrached it up, and went to town. The frame I sandblasted, and used a wax degreeser. I still haven't fixed the s10 bed yet, but it's my beater. I may have to bring my cab to ya to get it fixed, lots of rust outs.

That would be easier. These little parts won't be seen much

Thanks Ernest, I don't think I will wet sand anything on the cab. I don't want any moisture around it until get it painted and put body wax in the rockers and any other hidden places. I normally wet sand everything.

It was a thought, but decided not too. I might have a head liner someday

I'm guessing you got fish eyes on the first coat. The way I cover up fish eyes is too let it tack good then move the gun back and keep dusting paint over the affected areas. Let it tack between dustings. eventually it usually locks down the fish eyesand fills a little. Then hammer the second coat. There may be other opinions, but this works most of the time. Then after spraying you can dob a little paint in the fish eyes to fill some more. On a body panel the dobs will have to be color sanded. Just my .02
