Took the pup for a ride to the getto. Took some pictures. Damn graffiti busters are making it hard to find any good spots.:lol: Did a good burn out. Got stuck in a pot hole:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Should be on the cover of a magazine!!
If you want graffiti ,ya should have gone to the union pacific yard.
And the pup looks proud to be in such a nice ride. It has come along ways from its camper days:metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Had to mess with the pictures. Thought about the rail yard but there was a lot of signs. I would'nt stick my hand inside the truck the pup has a full set of teeth now.:lol: Just ask the guy at the metal scrap yard. Dumba$$ put his hand in there and tried to pet him.:lol: Pictures look a lot better as toons. Gotta love photebucket.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Stupid question . Why does my engine have a bolt hole at the top for the trans., But the trans has no hole? Built a floor frame for the back. Going to put 3/16 metal over it.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Need to box in my frame. Cleaned off some more old paint.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Looking good .. What donated the fuel tank?? With the 3/16" steel for the floor of the bed, is it to be diamond plate or flat steel? I thought of rhino lining the floor of the bed and using plate steel also. Would add weight at least.
Used to be a thread on here about using a steel bed from a newer truck There may a spacing issue below the fenders where the thickness of the wood is no longer there.. Git'er done and take pictures.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

on the engine and tranny Q
all of the ones ive ever seen have been like that
im not sure why

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:four:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I think the tank came out of a van. Fits good. I'm going to cover the top and sides in 3/16 plate. Metal place did have some diamond plate for .25 a pound.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Dang!
I've missed a ton!
Nice work!
For some reason I'm thinking the bell housing on the heavy duty granny 4 speed trans has a hole for that top threaded hole, maybe I'm just :crazy: ;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Making some nice progress :metal:

Is there a reason you are wanting to use 3/16's? That's going to add some weight.....

Re: Daverods project 66
 

x2

Your truck really looks good, love the patina.

You might want to go with 10 guage (0.1345) or 12 gauge (0.1046)?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I want weight. I'm not going to have a wood bed. Maybe I will wrap the gas tank in somthing thinner.

Thanks Lakeroadster
I was just worried about the hole but I'm guessing it normal.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Great pics of your truck! I took a few of my stepside by the railroad building here in Twin Falls. Cool backgrounds

Re: Daverods project 66
 

So get them posted.:metal: Always good to see an Idaho truck.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Built a floor for the rear of my truck.;) Still waiting for my top bag brackets.:waah: Should have made them.:sumo:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Hey Dave have you already ordered them I could probably make you some. or just send you mine and make me some more.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Ordered 3/28/10 :waah: Good thing I'm in no hurry.:lol: I guess I'm just use to Brothers. I get their stuff in 2 days . Thanks anyway Paul.;) Put a new fuel sender in my 64. Now I don't have to carry a 2 gal gas can everywhere. Got my frame boxed in. Still need to box in the back.

Re: Daverods project 66

Re: Daverods project 66
