How's the progress going ??

poorboy · 05-12-2008, 06:51 PM

Slow right now. After work I had my daughter's softball and my son's little league. Softball is now done as of yesterday so I'll have some more time to work on it.

poorboy · 05-16-2008, 05:16 AM

Finally got the fan I won on ebay . Took forever top get it shipped and the shroud was 4" bigger than it was suppose to be. I cut it down and bent the sides over. I am really pleased with how it turned out.

TimE · 05-16-2008, 05:44 AM

That looks nice! Aren't you glad you kept it now?

poorboy · 05-16-2008, 06:43 AM

I got some work done today. I got the grill and bumber off the long bed and put them on.

I got the motor out of the long bed and swapped into the short bed.

I also got the heater and heater firewall covers off the longbed and put in. Really hoping to make the BBQ.

TimE · 06-08-2008, 10:20 PM

Nice work. You'll be cruisin that thing around soon at this pace.

**ChiefRocka** · 06-08-2008, 10:24 PM

Oh great, now the long bed doesn't have a grill now ??

Looking good man !!

poorboy · 06-08-2008, 10:42 PM

The long bed is prety much a shell now.

**ChiefRocka** · 06-08-2008, 10:45 PM

Are the doors on it by chance ?

poorboy · 06-08-2008, 11:02 PM

gulfcoast66 · 06-09-2008, 10:05 AM

Poorboy your build is looking good man, whatcha call her? I like that rad and fan set-up. I just found this build 2day man you work fast lol. YEAH i betcha happy you didnt get rid of her. Chris

poorboy · 06-28-2008, 09:06 PM

Got a little work done.
I swapped the carb,got the fan wired,put the manifolds on,the hoods on. Sorry for the crappy pics. My camera died so I used my phone.

TimE · 06-28-2008, 09:52 PM

That trucks coming together GREAT Poorboy. And just think, you almost sold it and would have missed out on all this fun.

poorboy · 06-28-2008, 09:57 PM

I need to get this thing done so I can put my new project in the garage. I just scored a Baja Bug to go have some fun with.

**ChiefRocka** · 06-29-2008, 09:48 AM

Nice...baja's are cool, always wanted to build one.

I have a '56 Oval body I've been trying to sell on CL, however my 7 yr old son wants to build "...one of those cars that you can drive on the sand with"

The thought of cutting up an oval might make some people cringe....at this point IDGAF !!

Anyway, your truck is coming along sweet, looks like it almost ready to fire !!

BTW, I haven't forgot about your tailgate latches !!

Later
