one piece at a time
i am starting this a little late i have ben working since april so i will try and catch everyone up. i first built back in 09, to protest to my whiney neighbor who constantly complained about my old cars sitting in my yard. He called the county which told me i needed to put a fince up around my 3 old cars so i did. then drug the ugliest truck i had out and made it live just building it out of junk that i had. in a strange series of events this became my daily driver so what started out as a joke ended up saving me, life is funny that way. fast forward to 2012 i t boned a van that ran a stop light and bent the frame the truck was deemed totaled but i fixed the best i could with a torch and keep-et on trucking.
then in march of 2014 the 250 that had pulled the truck for 4 years that was junk when it was put in finally died. knowing the frame was bent the truck was disassembled and put on a short frame and a 292 was sourced from my favorite small town junkyard and overhauled. keeping with the original intentions i am building the truck mostly form my parts pile and junkyard parts with few new parts such as a/c (finally!) oh yea and carpet. my goal with this truck is to make the people who get it smile and for the ones who dont can just look down there noses at me in disgust get in there prius and go home to there Mickey mouse world!  ps that whiney neighbor finally moved!as of march last shot before tear down tear down new frame rebuilt 292 resealed the trans it worked fine so just cleaned it up

Re: one pice at a time
it sure does! i have had fun trying to fine all the mounts for my 292 as it was in a 78 1 ton.i didn't realize the mount was different on the block as well as the stool.i found both stool and block mount and spacers today along with a set of used brass knuckles in the bed of the same truck covered up, the junkyard i go to is kinda shady you never know that you will find.

Re: one pice at a time
a update for today got my flywheel back and clutch installed along with trans.
and oh yea i got the whole mess put in the truck finally!!! i used a old input shaft to line up the clutch and also put in the pilot bushing. the input shaft is from one of my old saginaw 3 speeds. this is why you dont side step a clutch when your mad at some one and you have 3:08 gears. learned a lesson on that one twice because it also broke the drive shaft. my truck is to low to get my cherry picker under it. cant use jack stands due to the width of the cherry picker, so i used some old wheels to get it up in the air.

Re: one piece at a time
Welded my holes in the door,pulled the dints the best that i could and slung some short strand fiberglass. I still need to do some more work to it so i just hit it with some rattle can filler primer to keep the flash rust away. I got a new finder from work got, it home and immediately dropped it in the floor and dented it.
I bought some slick sand filler primer going to see if i cam make my truck look like a mountain range from all the runs. Last but not least I got a new hauler. the truck is a c-20 with a granny 4 sm420, 292. guy at the junk yard said it ran when he got it a month ago, gas was fresh in the tank. As fate would have it thats where my carb and motor mount stool came from for my truck i am building  .if any one has a spare passenger side stool for a 292 i am in dire need of one.

Re: one piece at a time
Not any big progress but I got my 3/4 ton home and running. On the project truck I decided to just use my old passenger door that was on the truck. the other door I was working on was tweaked bad at the top due to it was off a wrecked truck, I had it almost done and set on the truck and it was then I realized it. I fixed a 6x9 hole that was cut in my old door started to freshen up the body work on the out side. I finished the drives door body work. sand blasted the driver side inner finder and shot under side with undercoating. i am going to do the top side of the inner finder in spray can truck-bed liner (i have used it in the past and does not look like what you would think it turns out almost completely smooth and is chemical resistant). still on the hunt for a passenger engine mount stand for my 292 if anyone has one.

Re: one piece at a time
well i got my mustang tank in today. i had to cut allot more than i really wanted to on the frame. i didn't think it was going to take that much to fit it in there. all well its to late now im committed to it , think i may box that area in the back. tomorrow im going to change my track bar mount on the frame from the 65-66 mount to the 63-64 so i can use the adjustable track bar i bought.
