Yeah it does, sucks too! Maybe tomorrow ill come across something and have some better hours

I got some truck time in today

Alan's Classic · 01-19-2009, 01:00 AM

If I had it to do again, I would cut the outer rockers off at least. You can see what was behind mine when I cut them off.

Nothing wrong with taking a break. I just thought that you had forgotten about us...

I'm with Alan on the rockers. I'd take the outers off before taking it in to a blaster.

now thats the motivation pushing spirit!! But the question is are we going to get to go for a ride in the 5.3 build..??

joe231 · 01-19-2009, 12:02 PM

keep it up TimE

502tripower · 01-19-2009, 01:20 PM

Looks good Joe... I noticed on your tunnel that the upper section is not spot welded in. Is that how the 4-5-6 trucks are? Here is mine after I drilled out all the spots to change to the low tunnel. Just curious if 60-62 did this different.

I believe in the 4-5-6 trucks, the low hump is made into the floor and the high hump is bolted to the floor......not sure.
My father in law cut out the floor and put in the bolt-in high hump when he installed the 283/sm465 combo, many years ago.
