I am pretty much in the center of SF. Noe Valley area. The truck I posted is at Bethal Island which is near Brentwood. That is the 66. My 65 is in my garage. As soon as I get the 66 going, I am going to tow the 65 up to the Island so I can spray the firewall and let the building continue. If you want to hang out, I will be up at the Island this saturday the 13th. Highlandr said he was going to come by also. We are going to try and get the engine into the truck this weekend. It won't happen if I can't find the torque converter or the motor mounts.

I checked my front tire for a slow leak and found out that it is at the rim/tire bead. Shop says I got a rusty rim. Time to find some 6 lug steelies. I'll be at the big swap meet in Webster for sure.

I replaced the cab mounts about 3 weeks ago but not much else lately. It sits at my Dad's house when I have the camaro home. For some reason my wife won't let me keep two toys at the house. LOL

[sams60gmc]

Made some upper bag mounts for the front of my truck today. Im gonna be kicking myself shortly for making them out of 1/8 plate but I was short on material and if they bend then at least I'll have them for templates for 3/16 plate. And if for some reason they don't bend. SCORE. I really just wanted to get them on to see how its going to sit so I can start working on my lower bag cups.

put some finishing touches on the motor.... got the PS pump and carb mounted.... ran some copper lines for fuel and some other stuff... I think the look pretty cool.

[ruffrida2005]

Motor looks sweet. Where did you get the PS mount from. I think I could make something like that on the CNC

[1stseries55]

thanks man, It is a CPP mount... I could not find a decent one at the junkyard

[sams60gmc]

Today I finished and clamped my bag plates in place so I could figure out where to cut my lowers for my bag pockets. I'm thinking about making them 2.5'' deep. Then I'm gonna look into pie cutting the uppers after I can find some decent pictures of how to do it.

I also worked on my hood a little and welded the patch a little more.

[Hipper]

aired up the flat tire and charged the battery. Fired it up and moved it from the street to the drive way then , cut up scrap wood and loaded in the back and loaded up some junk elect motors to haul off. and loaded up old couch in the back also(wife finaly got the new furniture she has been wanting for couple years.)

[Chevy Fleetside]

Bolted up the flywheel and tranny to the engine and stabbed it into the truck. Of course I forgot to bend the cab seam up so the 700R4 would clear, so tomorrow I will pull it back out and get my mini sledge out and then put it back.

We are showing this weekend at the World of Wheels in Kansas City. We have a '66 Chevy K10 and a '66 Chevy C20. We will post some photos after the show. Lots of parts to ship, since we have been doing show stuff instead of pulling, packing & shipping parts.

[Chevy Fleetside]

it is too bad about this truck. It looks like the exaust system is only a few years old. It is for a 6 cyl though so I have no use for it.

[magooster]

I bought a big back window parts truck. It was imported from California so there's only a small amount of rust on the floor. It also came with a spare driver's door, fender, hood and grille and grille support. I'm pretty pumped because my cab was extremely rusty and I was in over my head. I got discouraged with it and didn't work on it for over 2 years. Now in the spring I can get rolling again!

[Nick's81]

Got to see your trucks Sat., both very nice. The black paint on the bed wood was great to see, better than the oak IMO.

PS- if you got any photos of the girl covered in glitter that was sighing people up for some give away, I need to see them.........

[sshockr]

Got a large portion of the wiring harness from the Impala sorted out and started rerouting every thing to the back of the glove box in the truck.

[steveb64]

Took the old, poorly repaired, grill support off in preparation to install the rust free one. Put on a new harmonic balancer, old one had spun on the rubber.

Went back. Pulled the engine and tranny back out. I also replaced the front pump seal on the tranny. Then put it back in and bolted it up and even got the headers and water pump bolted up. Now I have a list of things I still need. Oh yeah. I repainted the firewall flat black because the other color was just awful.

[sams60gmc]

Today I worked on my lower bag cups that are going to drop down into my lower a arms.

You may want to re think the copper fuel line. It is prone to cracking and splitting from engine vibrations. I would run a steel line at least for fuel you would not want to burn all that hard work to the ground.
