Love the hood ornament Nik. It will make a nice custom touch.

Thanks Dale.




Even though I already painted the shifter I decided to go a different direction, a piston shifter. I got a lawnmower engine for free but it had some bad knocking in the bottom end when I fired it up plus it burned blue. So I pulled the piston and rod then cleaned it up. Then I put a little spring behind the wrist pin to increase the tension so it won't wobble around when driving

Thanks, the one thing I need to figure out is how I'm going to mount the rod to the pre existing shifter

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside

Crappy drawing, but remove the one bolt for the bearing sleevd and make a same size threaded end on your shifter rod.

Hope that makes sense

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside

I ended up getting rid of the bearing cap and making a piece to bolt on

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside

Once it was bolted in place I then made little side covers out of plastic with a vinyl look to pretty things up and give it a cleaner look

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside

And here's a pic of it all finished up and installed. Now all I need to do is find a way to put the shift pattern on the top of the piston

Thanks bill, that is an idea but If someone else drives my truck I don't want them accidentally putting it in reverse when going down the highway lol.

You could probably have a sign (or wrap) shop create some kind of sticker for it.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside

huge thanks to very nice guy! Member bfoley was kind enough to offer and give me some old school cool era correct gauges for my truck. What I received was two autometer gages, a oil pressure and water temp that have a vintage look to them. And two super cool Stewart Warner gauges, a vaccum gauge and an ammeter. He also threw in a couple of sweet toggle switches. Thanks again Ben.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside

Haven't been able to get much done on the truck lately because of another project I've been Working on and I'm pretty deep into it, I thought I'd show you guys. Doing a full rebuild on my xr100 plus a big bore kit that will make it 120cc and also a new clutch, tires etc. I should have it all wrapped up in the next couple days and be able to get back on the truck.

Didn't get a whole ton done on the truck today but I did finish off the hood plane and I have to say she is real purdy.

Kool ornament. Looks like the center lines in the hood could be jet streams coming out of the back.

Thanks randy, yes that is probably my favourite part of the 62-66 hoods but I do favour 60 hoods which is what I'm going to use. I have seen somebody on here have the best of both hoods by taking the lines from the later hood and welding it into the earlier hood. But my 62 hood is to nice to chop up so I don't think that'll be happening.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside

Got everything on the engine and engine bay all buttoned up and I'm confident it will run well this time. I just want to get the right tranny fluid before I run it anymore so it may be a few days. Oh and I managed to find a 60-62 v8 hydraulic clutch bellhousing that I'm picking up this weekend for a great deal just in case I ever want to go v8 in the future

Hey Nik, did you ever figure out your intake leak problems?
