You been VERY busy Rian!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Well with El Nino coming thought it best I deal with my drip rail. It'll take a while for the new paint to fade in but otherwise came out pretty good.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Made a little progress on my motor...

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Looks nice. Mind sharing what product you used? Also, any tips or tricks for sealing the gutters? I'm going to be attempting mine soon too.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

That's ok, I understand. That's why I don't have one going for my truck also! I will definitely be shooting some questions your way regarding the motor/electrical set up of your truck. Thanks!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

I used Fusor 122EZ bought both the sealer and gun from these guys https://www.blendsupply.com/lord-fus...ealer-10-1-oz/ .
One cartridge kit was enough but I was stressed the whole time thinking I was going to run out. Ended up with about 1/5th left.
Hardest part was trying to do the whole thing in one continuous run. You really need to do a dry run first figuring out how you are going to reach everything. Also the two downward slopes at the rear are a little tricky as the stuff flows quite a bit and I ended up with more at the bottom than anywhere else so plan for that. All and all a pretty easy product to work with.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Just a bit.

Problem is, the way I had the cab stood up, I could not get it back in the garage, and the chassis and floor needed to be finished before I head for Clem's parrty.

The rest of this week has rain forecast, and once I get my new cab mount rubber set and fit it, the cab will be bolted in place.

So it all had to be done.

Just waiting for Martin now to give me a hand rolling it forward again, safely, and replacing the bed, then pack away and have a long hot bath.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Woke at Stupid-O-Clock and had a mug of tea.

Very happy with the outcome so far.

All the cleaning and preparation paying off, it does take up the majority of the time but if you do, the result will not come back later to bite you in the bum.

Floor was seam sealed inside and outside on joins and all welds.

Underseal brushed on, I have also got spray on Schultz underseal but prefer. Getting into corners and around the back of folds.

Altogether now.......

At about 5.30 Martin popped over to help me get the cab down and move the bed into the back of the garage.

He seemed happy with the progress and result, he has a super critical eye.

So this is where my weekend ended, during the week I will paint the inner floor as I had done a second coat of seam sealer as well.

Tired tonight, but happy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Mocked up my small block and 2004R transmission. I have more room with that trans than with the TH350 (small hump cab) Go figure. Using the POL engine brackets and trans cross member from western chassis.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

There is some very nice cars and trucks there . Thanks for sharing Bill . Enjoy your week of drooling ;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

I get off work tomorrow at noon and we're headed on down. Man, I can hardly wait!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Front Clip coming together.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Mounted the hood!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Installed me new mirrors on Crustine. Old ones tended to sit where ever they wanted to. lol

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

I changed my white shocks with black ones.. :lol: It seems I had gas shocks in the truck but the left one went down but didn't rebound back. Maybe there won't be a lot of bouncing up and down anymore. :sumo:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

It's amazing how much work you can squeeze into an hour when you,know your wife will be home soon and you spent the last two days in the garage.....

So tonight I pulled the truck out after work and "quickly" painted the floor, then cooked dinner..... Fried pork chops, butter and herb mushrooms and cous cous. Perfect.

First coat down, next coat in a few days, the sound deadening, felt pads and carpet once the paint is done.

Nothing else to do right now except start cleaning up the rear suspension, chassis and various other bits like brakes etc.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Looking good. If you need a hand, let me know. I'm not far from you.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Dang Griz - YUM!

truck looks great too!!

Stuffed my Driver's Door with glass and mechanicals - visor and peep were just begging me so why not...

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

That is a good looking engine. Love how neat the plug wire routing is.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Nice looking plug wire setup, What brand are they and where to buy them? Where did you get the wire loom kit from? That is what I want to do to my engine.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Ok, so if there was a breathalyser on my keyboard i might be in trouble with the feds but as there is not I can post with impunity!

So why the celebration? 2 reasons.. got my first 'big' deal locked in at my new job but, more importantly, my registration documents arrived today so Woody is now 100% legal!

Better slow down now the Man knows who i am....

P.:D

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Got my first coat of POR 15 on my chassis after work this evening .

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

spent monies...

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

sorry, i just saw this.

Plug wires are straight boot pertronix wires from summit.

wire looms are R&M also from summit.

clip on wire markers from summit.

The wire loom holder bracket that mounts to the rear of the head was made by me and the actual wire holder came from ebay super cheap.

i'm pretty happy with how everything is coming together but it looks like my motor won't crank for some time as i'm working on the wife's 57 for the time being.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

I cleaned it up a bit. was to darn dirty. That is what happens when you drive them. :metal:

FINALLY got. My bed together and mounted! A long to short conversion alone with rust repair has probably taken me 30+ hours of work!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Typically, I could not leave well alone.

So late afternoon I went and dragged out the truck and used the last of my rust converter on the chassis.

I left out the prop shaft and diff, will do them when I get back and get more Vactan.
