Re: 1966 chevy truck engine swap to LS1
VERY nice work! I feel silly asking a question about your clock when there is so much other good stuff going on here, but I have my dash cluster apart right now and that thing intrigues me. How does the time get set on the clock? Both initially and if it should ever get out of whack? Also, how did you go from having what appears to be the time set knob in the middle of the hands to a smooth appearance? Just grind it off with a Dremel or something?

Re: 1966 chevy truck engine swap to LS1
Here are some pictures of the jig I built to create the Fresh air vent covers behind the speaker kickers. This seals the outside vent off from debris coming into the cab. I used a gasket between the metal and plastic. On the kicker, I moved the speaker holes up to the vent opening and closed up the old speaker holes at the bottom. You can see a very little bit left of the circle which I didn't use enough filler in the picture on the drivers side.
See the pictures above for the Cowl Vent closed of as well. |

Re: 1966 chevy truck engine swap to LS1
Nice job on all the details! It looks very tidy considering how much of it is customized.

Re: 1966 chevy truck engine swap to LS1
I really like the clock it looks great, in post 24 you said the clock came from a 73 volvo and then in post 63 you said it came from a 80's model, I really want to find one of these do you know for sure which one it came out of, and also what is the tach out of.
Thanks for any info you could pass along. |

Re: 1966 chevy truck engine swap to LS1
2001 Dodge 1500, 2500 Truck. I believe they are still using them in the same truck today. Just have to spend more for the newer ones. My are none powered but it would have been cool to use a set that were powered and heated. I had to modify the frame mounts a bit (shorten the legs & weld on new mounts) for a level install.

Re: 1966 chevy truck engine swap to LS1
Here is my custom door panels to cover the work I did to get the one piece glass installed. I built them out of Plastic PVC purchased at Tap Plastics. Glued together with PVC glue purchased at OSH, sanded with a belt sander and hand sanded. I added side to flare the edges like a new vehicle today. I also foamed the inside of the panel to build up the backing and sound. This pushed the panel out to make the door panel flat, due to the door having a slight bow. The Handle cranks lineup and work great. NoteL: The window crake is power using the stock handle, to give it that factory looks. Here are the pictures.
