My Project
New member and new to the board. I've seen some nice pics of projects on hear but I don't know how to post some of my own. Anyone have a minute to tell me how I can get pics of my truck on here?

Re: My Project
welcome... click "go advanced" if you are replying and click on the paper clip, or just use the paper clip if you are starting a thread like you just did. Pictures have to be under 100K so you need to use MS paint to make them smaller usually.... You can alo link to remote pictres like in photobucket or other places. Then you just copy and paste the HTML code that is found on that site under your picture. Good luck...

This was my truck in 2005. I was on the Hot Rod Power Tour and we stopped at a friend on mines moms house in Tn. What happened to the truck after this trip was a result of needing to fix the a/c...............

What I found when I removed the right front fender was rust and lots of it. The truck was rusting from the inside out. I bought the truck in 2003 for a driver and the previous owner did a nice job at covering things up.............

Me being curious, I had to go a step further to see how far this went. The cab was in terrible shape. So much so that I felt it needed replacing rather than repairing. I though since I had the cab off I'd take the bed off to.......

Re: My Project
That's how they start..... My man, you have been diagnosed with trukrestoritis. It's gonna take thousands of dollars and anywhere from 1-5 years to get over this. Lucky for you we have a great support group here with almost all of us infected to some degree or the other. If you have any questions about your disease, throw them at us, there are guys here that have had it a long time and have even had re-occurrences of it. Welcome to the board from Virginia.......

No one likes a dirty frame so I cleaned it up a little to get it ready to put back together.............

I changed everything over to 5 lug and disc brakes. Moved the gas tank to between the rear frame rails and dropped it 4-6 with parts from early classics........

With the chassis rolling I moved on to the replacement cab. I bought this cab for $128.00!!!! I replaced the inner and outer rockers and the lower left cab corner. I smoothed the firewall, gas filler hole and the seam on top of the cab..............

It never fails, One thing leads to another. It's looking real good so far.

Re: My Project
Last summer it was time to move and the project was put on hold for a while. Our new house only had 3 bedrooms and we needed 5 so I parked the project and built 2 bedrooms downstairs and framed in a bathroom for the girls. In may of this year I pulled it out and dusted it off only to have to stop working on it again so I could get my daughters truck ready for her 16th birthday in Aug. We bought her an '89 chevy so I'm replacing the grille, bumpers and repainting it for her. I also bought my other daughter a '67SWB Chevy for her 16th bday coming up in Dec. It needs a lot of work to be ready by Dec so my project will be a little slow moving for a while. I tell you all this to bring you to this point, my family comes first and this truck will always be there. My wife appreciates this and to show her appreciation for my commitment to our family, for our anniversary she bought me the ultimate gift. Something I only dreamed of putting on my truck........................pic coming soon.

Re: My Project
Nice progress/work. My wife is not so understanding. Any time spent on the truck is time away from the family, period. So no matter when I work on it I'm always in trouble.

Is the valve cover color a hint as to the color the rest of the truck will be? Looks great so far. |
Re: My Project
The color on the valve cover, water pump and oil filter is the color of the pin stripe I was going to use down the side of the truck. The outside of the truck will be black, inside the cab will be silver as well as the firewall, fender wells and core support. I will be making a custom air filter, like a fresh air intake, out of tubing that will be the copper color to........The original plan was to two-tone the truck in black and silver with the copper pin stripe....

Re: My Project
Wow, it looks killer so far.
I too was bitten by a previous owner covering things up, my '67 has hidden rot waiting to be taken care of. Great deal on that cab too, I'd be happy to find one that nice for twice the money. :lol: |
Re: My Project
looking great man, loving those painted engine covers
