Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Ooops.... You asked for time.
They took me about an hour and a half to do. Total cost was the lights plus $2 in LED's Most of the time was in separating the lens from the housing. Using an exacto knife (They're glued with a flexible adhesive) and being careful not to break the glass. |

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Yo Rude, thanks for the link! If I ever see something I like with the taillights, I'll post it! Had a good weekend with the truck. Saturday was the maiden voyage of "No Bucks"! Alex and myself took it for a little 2 mile cruise just to see how it finally came together. Was pretty uneventful and almost surreal cruising it around the neighborhood! Spent the rest of the weekend working on the interior and stereo stuff. It's slowly coming together!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Wow, what a great weekend! Fixed a couple more little issues and got to put another 5 miles or so on the truck and helped Alex get a bunch of stuff done on his truck! It's too fun cruising this thing around! I'm still working on the interior and stereo stuff, so it's not a driver just yet. I was trying to figure out how to run my speaker wire without it pinching the wires as the door closes. I saw a friends truck and the kit they used but me being the cheap-ass did the same thing with very little money. Went to the hardware store and picked up a (1) Screendoor spring 16"x9/16" (2) 7/8" plastic hole plugs and a couple of rubber grommets.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
If you like that mod, just wait until you see what he's done lately to the rest of the interior. You guys are going to flip.
That's all I'm going to say for now................

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Here's another little no money deal I just finished. I installed my new/old distributor and coil after yanking out the HEI. I couldn't find the plug wire looms I was looking for, so I whipped up something to get me by until I find what I want. I took some 1/4" washers, welded them together and then flattened the weld with a sledge hammer

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
More little tricks! Here's how I setup the heater control; I used a choke cable and a water control valve from a motorhome that I scored at Pick and Plunder! When the knob is pushed in, the water flow is shut off (no heat)

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Here's my throttle pedal idea that works really well. The truck had a linkage from an early-mid 60's Chevy truck, so I decided to go with it. By design the rod rubs on the back of the pedal, it works but could be way smoother. I took a flat chunk of 16 gauge sheetmetal and fastened in to the back of my Cal Custom "Foot" pedal for both the "hinge" and pressure point of the pedal.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
You ARE the Master of Mickey Mouse - but I mean it in the most complimentary and an EXCELLENT way! The more I see of your truck, the more I like it.
