Re: Consolidation project 5/3 build thread.

OK haven't really done much that's noticable but progress is slowly being made. The 305 is still not running due to fuel delivery problems. The driveshaft is in, the bumper on, 1 of the 2 holes in the radiator patched (found out about the second one later) the brake lines replaced, the speedo cable reattached, and the steering column swapped out since i broke my old one. Found out the wheel cylinders up front are shot... might just switch spindles and be done with it since the 63 had brand new brakes on the front. One of my two front springs is weaker than the other so i've gotta switch them out for some new ones some day. The bed is still just sitting cockeyed on the frame (to be addressed after payday). And the hood is still off. Other than that it's ready to go.
Here's a pic or two to try to show my little progress.

Poor truck doesn't know whether it wants to be black or white...

Dunno what color i'm gonna paint it yet. Will post a poll some time soon to get everybody's input cuz there's so many combos I like.

Till next time,
