Took the pup for a ride to the getto. Took some pictures. Damn graffiti busters are making it hard to find any good spots.

Did a good burn out. Got stuck in a pot hole

bubba327 · 04-02-2010, 06:39 PM

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

daverod · 04-02-2010, 07:26 PM

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.

Just ask the guy at the metal scrap yard. Dumba$$ put his hand in there and tried to pet him.

Pictures look a lot better as toons. Gotta love photebucket.

Alan's Classic · 04-03-2010, 07:21 PM

Cool pics you have there. I haven't been posting much here on your thread, but still watching.

Strodder · 04-03-2010, 10:39 PM

Nice pictures Dave. Looks Kewl

jgh64pkup · 04-04-2010, 02:48 AM

love the pics dave

daverod · 04-08-2010, 11:02 AM

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.

daverod · 04-08-2010, 11:04 AM

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

bubba327 · 04-08-2010, 04:48 PM

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.

jgh64pkup · 04-08-2010, 10:18 PM

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

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.

joe231 · 04-09-2010, 10:37 PM

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

**Captainfab** · 04-11-2010, 01:13 AM

Making some nice progress

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

Your truck really looks good, love the patina.

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

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

I was just worried about the hole but I'm guessing it normal.

idaho66stepside · 04-11-2010, 06:18 PM

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

So get them posted.

Always good to see an Idaho truck.

daverod · 04-12-2010, 11:08 PM

Built a floor for the rear of my truck.

Still waiting for my top bag brackets.

Should have made them.

ruffrida2005 · 04-12-2010, 11:17 PM

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

daverod · 04-12-2010, 11:22 PM

Ordered 3/28/10

Good thing I'm in no hurry.

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.

ruffrida2005 · 04-12-2010, 11:37 PM

where you order it from SD? I just ordered some rod ends I hope dont take a long time. I know they are always swamped this time of year.

daverod · 04-12-2010, 11:40 PM

SD said they were very busy.

Too bad.
