Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
Hi, been watching your build and have to say, great job. I'm just past the tear down stage on mine and my throttle cable was not stock, way too long (actually was looped around the carb) and I was wondering in the length comparison between the Lokar you bought compared to the stock version? I really like the look of the Lokar. Thanks Bill

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
[QUOTE=sdailey;4559180]Thanks for stopping by Jim. Where do you stand on yours at the moment? Take care bud.
Sad story...I'm on my 4th intake manifold, First one was a stock two barrel, second one was for a standard SB w/four barrel, third one was for Vortec heads and I galled the threads on an alum. plug. Out comes the #6 Spiral easy out, and it developed so much pressure getting the pipe plug out it cracked the 'brand new' manifold Wifey said I could borrow 200 bucks off of her, but I wonder what the interest rate will be Pretty cool having a guy like Allen live next door Thanks for listenin', I'm starting to feel better

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
Still here......
Here's an update of where the truck stands now. My cab didn't have a rear view mirror so I measured and drilled holes for one (major progress I know ) If the holes look crooked its because the cheap aftermarket mount had the holes drilled uneven. Cut the cab for a cargo light thanks to this thread...http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=202391  Installed cargo light switch  Marked the doors and drilled holes for my sport mirrors.   With the driver's side buttoned up, I've been working getting the passenger side squared away.       No pictures, but got the kick panel area repaired during this process as well. Added a new drip rail  Got the door hung (again) trying to line up the rocker. The passenger side is going a lot smoother than the driver's side did that's for sure.   Got the fender mounted checking the gaps at the door and rocker. Notice the tape on the door window hoop, I've got to cut it and remove a little material like I did on the driver's side door.  At this point the rocker is almost ready to get welded in. There are a couple areas where I need to fill in the door/fender gap a little, but nothing major. I'll just add a little metal to the door edge and blend it in. Once that is done then I can get the cab corner installed and hopefully move to another area of my cab. I'm tired of hanging and re-hanging doors and rockers. I'm going to tackle the firewall next. I plan on smoothing it for the most part, but I've got to get the new cowl panel installed first. Wish me luck. .

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
This part of your project could not come at a more perfect time, Im at the same point but just far enough behind that you are figuring out all of the weird quirks so i dont have to use my limited brain matter. Thanks a million
. Also, you can hold your head a little higher these days, our military is something else, God bless all of you .

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
nice to see that you are still at it, and that the Tornados didn't hit your area.

Luckily the tornados just skirted around us. It was a little hairy at times though.

Much better than I expected. The body lines match up extremely well and the gaps aren't all that bad either. A little tweaking and it'll be good. Thanks for checking in.

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
good idea on the man cave/ bomb shelter, can never be overly safe against mother nature...gotta keep the wifey safe
My wife is a work in progress when it comes to home safety, I have to tell her what and how to shut down systems, how and where to exit, plus where the guns and keys to the trigger guards are Hope all is well with you after the bad round with weather ok, time to get back in the shop!!
