Re: What did you get done 3/13/11 edition

I worked on my 64. I got the rear cab pinch weld lip & the rear cab support trimmed in the center of the cab for d.shaft clearance @ full dump.

That was easy enough; it was the logistics of getting the truck to the house & in the driveway that was the 'challenge':
I have to push the truck out of the storage building (forward/back several times to align w/the trailer for loading..... oh yeah, there's no steering column), load it onto the trailer, unload it @ the house (similar forward/back several times to align w/the driveway & then push it up the inclined driveway), remove the bed using an engine hoist, 2x4's, 2x6's, & a 40x48 pallet, work on c-notching the cab floor, re-mount the bed, re-load the truck, & bring it back to storage.

I worked alone getting it home & in the driveway.... my buddy Matt came over & helped get the bed back on & get it back into the storage building.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
