Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I think the pack rat hauled off his truck.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Cuz Dennis is spending too much time with the Black Russians and the poster girls and not working on the truck! :lol:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

i think Dennis passed out.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

:waah::waah: It's that black stuff he's drinking make him go night night.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I think he just got 5 pages from us talking in the last 20 min.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Best pages of his build.:lol::lol:

Thank goodness we have a cotton shortage.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

You guys are killing me. :haha: I got off the computer last night to watch TV. Between my wife and you guys, I've never been under so much pressure. Today is Friday. I guess I'll work on the truck. Now leave me alone. :sumo::lol::haha:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

OMG! I love the rear view of the truck on post 1407! Reminds me of my girlfriend in college.... DanG!

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Speaking of working? How come you're always on he computer.:lol:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

We're going to need pictures.:ito: When you say "the truck" you mean your truck right? What was on TV that was so good that you had to leave? Let me guess "Dancing with the stars":lol:?Old reruns of "The Sopranos"?:lol: Don't tell me it was Lawrence Welk? It was was'nt it.:lol: It was Lawence Welk.:lol: My god u are old.:lol::lol:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

What you talking about. I woke up got the kids to school. Went to school myself and took an exam, then came home. I'm retired too remember.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I'm not retired, just tired. Dennis is the old one. Must be nice to be retired. Nothing to do but slurp down a few Black russians and dream about what kinda dash would look good in your truck.:lol::lol: Makes my sleepy.:ito: Maybe I'll watch a rerun and hit the rack.:lol:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Well if you gave me a job and a place to stay I might come work with you!

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

:wop:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Looks like Dennis needs help.:lol: Maybe you could work on his truck.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I like cops:smoke::lol:and judges and po's. They are all nice people. It's the laws I hate.I'm pretty sure if I saw you walking down a dark alley and you had that hat on I would have to let my dog bite you. God your such a goof.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Great build thread. I have a question on the door handles are they flat or do they have arch to them? Hope that makes sence..

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Thanks, They have a curve close to what the door has. I have a little trimming to do to make them a little better. That's why I haven't done the other side yet. If I'm really not happy with them, I'll just shave the doors. Your's is coming out nice too.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I got to do some indirect work on the truck today. BTW HAPPY EASTER EVERY BODY. :metal:
I found this shopping cart that was looking for a home, so I took it in and did a make over on him. I was using a wooden engine stand with small wheels on it that was hard to push around, and couldn't work on the engine while being on it.
Here it is, and it works great. I can even change the pans on the engine and transmission.

Next is to clean the engine, and get the 1990 heads rebuilt, after I finish porting them. I'll use this engine since it was running when I took it out of the 73. When I have the extra money later I'll get the 1990 350 4 bolt mains engine bored and and rebuild that block. I just want to get thing running. By the way that is a 700r4 tranny.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I hope that thing handles that motor and tranny better than they handle a cart load full of food..

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

It seams really sturdy. The cart looked brand new. The wheels roll very smooth on my floor too. :metal: People around here just leave the carts in vacant lots all the time. I could round up at least 10 right now.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

u need to put a radiator on that thing and fire it up.:smoke: Can't believe it holds.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

It looked brand new. It looks like it's made more heavy duty than the ones I've seen before. I welded really thick metal to it, and it didn't burn through the cart metal. ;) I also welded small gussets in the front corners to stiffen up the side movement.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Did you get it at Cosco's or Walmart? I'm getting mine fron Cosco's there extra heavy duty.:lol::sumo: You know HF has engine stands for about 40. Of course yours holds the transmission too. I was thinking about getting a new camp trailer. So I can be just like you.:lol: I would have to figure out how to mount an engine and some bags in it of course.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

oh my , i suspect the supermarkets better chain down there shoppingcards .
i heared about a few people that made some money collecting those carts from various places all over there town and return them to the supermarkets for a small pay , they usually use a low floor trailer behind a cheap car to load about 20 at a time , looking at the price for one of those carts its logical the supermarkets want to hold ontoo them

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I like that Camper Cart. :haha:

i've seen sumtin simulair in holland based on a freight moped http://i53.tinypic.com/23hqfz4.jpg

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Finally sold what's left of the 73 that I parted out. Sold the rust free cab for $300.00 with the doors, 1 fender, 1 inner fender, and the complete A/C & heating system along wit lots of miscellaneous crap. The funny part is it's going to Hawaii without ME. :waah:
I had to put cardboard at 4 corners and strapped it on a pallet, then rapped it with that shrink rap stuff on a roll. So far from all the parts I didn't need that I sold from both trucks (the 73 & 65) I made over $1,000 above the cost of both trucks.:metal::metal::metal:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

sounds like a deal. I need to sell my 64 cab and what I have left of it. All the glass is good, but the cab needs work.

If you haven't seen I started a thread for the s10.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I'll check it out.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

pretty good price for the customer that bought it if you compare it to wat i have payed for a newer style cab without doors or any other sheetmetal here in the netherlands , offcourse that one had to travel a bit further from the states

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

How did they get that cab in the truck? Loading dock? I see the pallet jack. Semi laid frame?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

They had a lift gate, and a hand fork lift. I dragged the cab over to the semi with my Rhino. :lol:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Dennis-
You going to the show at Dale's today?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Yup I was there with the 57 Panel :metal: Rainy and windier than hell. Were you there?
