bubba327 · 03-19-2011, 11:07 PM

I am assuming you went to the Chrome in the Dome show????

Thanks for the pictures.
Didja take your 64?????

daverod · 03-19-2011, 11:10 PM

I know I need to cut the front of the frame off and box it in. I was thinking just in front of the steering box is that about right?

I take it every day.

Except when its wet out. I did'nt take it but there a lot of nice trucks in the parking lot.

bubba327 · 03-19-2011, 11:20 PM

So when it is wet out , you take your wife's car??????
I always cruise the parking lots too at a show. The true drivers are out in the parking lot.

daverod · 03-19-2011, 11:27 PM

I've got an old Olds cutlass. Good work car, huge trunk, good on gas, dog like it cause it's nice and soft. It likes to get wet.

Better show then last year. Had some nice rides. That red truck in the first pic was way cool. Two trucks welded together. Duals in the back,with some super fat lips

ruffrida2005 · 03-19-2011, 11:37 PM

Yeah get that 4.3 and send it down here to me. Then get you a gf from one of those potato farmers, and have them get you a 6.0 to put in the 52!

bubba327 · 03-19-2011, 11:37 PM

Oh !! I did not know about the cutlass.. We call the contractors that work out of a car --"trunkers" They carry a few tools around and then they borrow ladders from everyone else

daverod · 03-19-2011, 11:44 PM

I have a little gaint ladder it fits in my truck. I can carry about 15 2x4x8's inside the car.

OK I'm a trunker.

Have you seen a potato farmer daughter.

Good idea though. I'll run it by the wife.

There was a 54-55 GMC Suburban in the parking lot when I got there but I didn't get a chance to look at it because it was snowing, I was hopeing it would be there when I left but it wasn't. Dammit!

daverod · 03-20-2011, 11:21 AM

I could'nt wait till Saterday I went friday

Drove past on Saterday there was a million people.

I did get my frame clean though.

Post up some pics.

daverod · 03-20-2011, 10:09 PM

Wacked off my front end. Boxed it in.

Strodder · 03-20-2011, 10:21 PM

Nice whack off job, now get back to working on the truck.

daverod · 03-20-2011, 10:37 PM

Least I'm good at somthing.

bubba327 · 03-20-2011, 11:04 PM

Your welding has improved over the last two years!!! Your whack off job looks great!!

daverod · 03-20-2011, 11:12 PM

It's the helmet.

I should get my gas set this week. That should help also.

Going to get some metal and fab up some cab mounts this week. Still can make up my mind on a engine.

Strodder · 03-20-2011, 11:23 PM

The helmet make a big difference. You have to see what your doing.

bubba327 · 03-20-2011, 11:27 PM

How about a turbo on an inline six????? you try it out so I can follow along!!!
Dare to be rare!!! I saw a 'yota R-22 in a rat rod the other day with the 5-speed . owner says it is great, good MPG and just screams. The valve cover was aftermarket so it was not too noticeable that it was a rice burner

or a V-6 EFI . try something different.

daverod · 03-20-2011, 11:36 PM

As long as I can do this I'll be happy.

jeffs51chevy · 03-21-2011, 09:57 AM

Daverod,
I'm only speaking from my experience, but I found the frame horns needed to be whacked about 1/2" forward the farthest forward steering box bolt hole. Anything more interferred with the lower grill splash apron, and it left far too little of the original bumper brackets to use them. You might keep that as the first thing to check once your enginge and cab are mounted. Then again, you may not be running a front bumper. Anyway, that's kinda the downfall to these swaps. You make a change on one part that bites you in some other area. I guess just an FYI.

Jeff

T Hilde · 03-21-2011, 10:26 AM

If he put some air in the bags it might move easier.

Thanks Jeff good thing I need the welding practice. I'll fix it.

Strodder · 03-21-2011, 10:46 AM

When I did the S-10 frame on the 47 Studebaker Truck I had. I saved the piece I cut off just incase. The Stude is gone, but I still have the pieces I cut off. I save everything.

daverod · 03-21-2011, 02:03 PM

I save everything till the day before I need it then I chuck it.
