Iron-Butt · 12-20-2008, 03:12 AM

Great Work.

FreeRideYZ250 · 12-25-2008, 09:54 PM

Hope everyone had a great christmas. I know I did. SummitCluase showed up yesterday, and my girlfriend wrapped all my self picked out presents up for me.

Milodon Re Inforced timing chain cover. Milodon 7 quart oil pan and pick up. Intake bolts, cam button, degree bushings, rear main seal, sfi flexplate, and last but not least, the Comp Cams Mutha Thumpr Retro fit cam and lifter kit.

Cam and lifters will be here tuesday. Hopefully assemble the mill next week. 40 over 350 with stock rotating assembly, hyper utectic flat top pistons, 492 LT1 heads with stainless valves and z28 springs. Should run alright for a little street cruiser.

Strodder · 12-26-2008, 08:59 PM

Nice work. Keep posting pictures.

FreeRideYZ250 · 12-30-2008, 12:27 AM

Pulled the block and the heads out today. Painted them up. Five coats of color and five coats of clear. Duplicolor engine enamel. As I was cleaning up late in the evening, summitclause showed up with the rest of my christmas present. Awesome!

FreeRideYZ250 · 12-30-2008, 12:31 AM

Got an itch to see what the mill will look like when its all put together. So I mocked up some of the parts I have for it.

Alan's Classic · 02-21-2009, 11:24 AM

I was wondering what happened to you. Glad to see your back at it.

1-1/4" electrical conduit bought at HD. Its big enough for the main harness plug to fit through, yet small enough to fit in that notch in the fenderwell.

Hi...Id like to use your idea,just wondering where you located and cut the hole in the firewall for the harness to meet up with the conduit ?

Thanks,
Ed

Long time no post! Even forgot my login and password. That truck hasn't made much progress, however, I have a new build (not g pa's truck) that I am acquiring parts for. Soon will start a new build thread. It is a 66 short bed, full air ride, custom rear frame clip, lots of fun to come. Life got in my way for a while! A long while! This new build I will keep up on. Have almost all the parts and pieces already. Hope you guys will like it. I will title the new one AFC 66 Short Bed. Cheers!

Peanut gallery has left the building. Dino? I know you are still around. New build pics coming shortly. As soon as I find time to go from phone to pc to website to blah blah. However. CnC frame rails have come out sick. I suck at patch panel work. Captain fab is sending me his delish parts for steering and breaks. Bump steer tie rod set up available for the bump steer needing folks. Custom sleeve, bored for inner tie rod, and outer heim joint, comes complete with sleeve, high articulation chromoly heim joint, jam nuts, and spindle bolt. Can also include inner tie rod, and drill bit to ream spindle. This modification allows the tie rod to be mounted on the underside of the spindle to correct bump steer in lowered trucks.

I welded in the conduit, and then eyeball engineered the 2" diameter hole to match, I know I am a few - 7 years late. sorry, just got back into this website.

I don't know how I've missed this tread. That's going to be a nice truck. I love the color.

TwiggyTheDrummer · 02-23-2009, 09:15 PM

Great looking progress on it. I too got mine from my Grandpa but luckily I didn't have to pay for it. Just the money to do what I'm doing now. Maybe I'll be able to find some more old pics of the truck from when he bought it much like yours.

joe231 · 02-24-2009, 11:18 PM

Looking Good!!!!

joe231 · 02-24-2009, 11:45 PM

Nice notice of the brace. The garage door springs actually work decent for a 30 year old garage door. They just don't like it when I hang things on the door, it sags down a bit. Being 6'2" I need the door all the way up, or I have to wear a helment when I'm working.

The door shuts just enough to where its above eye sight line, however its low enough I will whack my head on it.
