Got the old rear end out today,still hoping to get the trailing arms off today as well. Picked up a load of media,hoping to get the back half blasted and primed come the weekend.

Put rear wheel cylinders on the 66. Set the distributor in the 62 and tried on the valve covers my wife bought me for Father's Day. Hope to get the 62 started this weekend.

Pappyx4, that engine looks great! Doesn't progress feel good? I got the under-hood wiring partly done.

I will be running a set of heads just like those. What type alternator bracket are you running.

Lugnutz,that's a clean looking 6.

Lugnutz,

I really like the color you choose for that 6 cylinder! Wiring is coming along too, you'll have that truck on the road before you know it.

The bracket that's on it know is the "Long Bracket" from Summit Racing. I am planning on changing it to the "Short Bracket" the long one mounts to the thermostat housing bolt, it keeps vibrating the bolts loose in the T-stat.

Sum 4016 is the kit that is on my truck currently.

Sum 4017 is the one I will probably switch to.

Hope this helps!

Since I am in Southern California for the brothers truck show I drove my truck to the truck and car shop and spent some money

[dougf]

Spent time with the family, smoked a chicken, made a patch for my bed, had a few beers, had some wild turkey 101, enjoyed life!

[TJ's Chevy]

Took Crustine to a car show!

[Lugnutz65]

Finished all the wire crimps for everything in front of the firewall. Final wrap to protect the wires will come later. Wired and installed the hood turn signals too.

A busy weekend.

Today It was off to Hamstreet with Nicola and Martin on the bikes to a bike show and auto jumble. Followed by a run up the M20 to Wateringbury near Maidstone for another car and bike show, which was more of an excuse for a huge party and tons of Harley's together together.
Home by about 4pm and swopped bike and truck about.

Martins Eddie Lawson Replica 1100cc Kawasaki behind Nicola who was being a clown all day, when we were filling up this morning.




Nicola snapped this pic of me headed to the Swapmeet...... She said I looked like a man on a mission. Wearing Clem's party shirt from last year.




My bargain of the day........ Been looking for something heavy duty like these for some time, found them on a traders stand at the bike swap meet.

Managed to get a deal on 10 of them, 4 for my truck and 6 for Martins long bed to tie his V-Rod down once the truck is completed. Paid £3.20 each in stead of £4.00 each.

Once countersunk and bolted down with countersunk head bolts in the rear bed, it will make the truck even more useful.



Little by little the bits are coming together.

"Finally" got the front end done,, and the Master Cylinder/Booster finished,, brake lines bleed.. Tilt Column in,,, next is wire the column to the body harness and adjust/create the brake pedal linkage.. Monday is off to the front end alignment.

Oooo Haze Gray. I like that idea.

[Lugnutz65]

I gave my truck a black eye! (Installed my grille and lights today, I found that somehow I only sandblasted one of the headlight bezels and the other was still black - so I installed it this way just for the pic . . . .).

Mine is more of what I made my truck do, vs what did I do to my truck...

Helped a good buddy move. Crazy how comfy my Panel is with a load in it...

[jtrichard]

Sorry but it would look better full of DONUTS LOL

[pimpston65]

installed my correct 3speed cast iron transfercase bracket, yea it fits!!! oh and shifts through all the settings smoothly...

[Chevy Fleetside]

Shook My kid up at 4:20 and drove home from LA in the Truck. That was about 400 miles. This is the only picture I got from the Brothers Truck Show.

[OldChevy61]

Got my front end suspension kit off the fedex truck and went picked up the 12 bolt rear to replace the old ho32.

[The Rocknrod]

Got the hood, grill support and both inner fenders back from the media blaster. Then proceeded to spray out the pieces with epoxy primer. Now I remember why I don't do painting.
