today i got the "new" clutch put in (was bought in '97 but never installed). dropped the motor in but havent bolted it down yet due to concerns about header installation, put on new carrier bearing, and got my air bags plumbed. my rear bags are slowly leaking right now but i haven't started rechecking fittings yet, maybe tomorrow.

1st pic- motor put in- bags aired out
2nd pic- my cleaned up gauge cluster

You may have the same issue i had here IF you are referring to the header and clutch linkage concerns. On mine, the down leg of the clutch pivot arm was hitting the rear header tube. I heated the arm right where it is welded to the tube and bent it inside until it cleared the header. Then i got a 3/8" heim joint and threaded that onto the end of my clutch rod so it would all rotate as it should. So far it appears that it will work perfectly. I will try to get some pics of what i did this weekend for ya. I am running headers for a 73-87 truck.

1964c-10 · 05-13-2011, 11:08 AM

that would be very helpful. i have been wondering about the clutch linkage, the 3 on the tree linkage, and how will they clearance the frame.

1964c-10 · 05-20-2011, 12:15 AM

Monday i got my headers in and installed. both arms on the z bar were hitting header tubes, so i bent the one that hooks to the pedal outwards and the one that connects to the clutch arm I cut off and moved it 7* rearwards this getting the proper clearance.

Tuesday i fabricated most of my exhaust (need to mount the bed to figure out where the tips are going to be mounted) I had to make my own collector flanges because nobody in town had the right ones, and im impatient. the exhaust comes out of the headers then ducks under the frame and outside the frame.

1964c-10 · 05-20-2011, 12:25 AM

yesterday i made an alternator bracket (according to the parts store they don't make alternator brackets for headers)and finished hooking up the motor, tried starting but my dissy was off a tooth, moved it and wasn't getting any spark anymore. put in new dissy today with the same problem, finnaly figured out that the dissy was properly grounded when i first tried starting it but after moving it a tooth i didn't put the clamp back on causing it to not be grounded.

finally today i got the motor started and ran my front brake lines

v a couple more exhaust pics- i have about 6" of clearance between the collectors and the ground

Nice progress! Are you planning on having it done enough to take it to Good Guys?

1964c-10 · 05-20-2011, 01:15 PM

yeah thats the plan i dont know if ill have the whole thing done or not

fryer1979 · 05-20-2011, 01:29 PM

Nice looking project you've got going on there. Seems to be coming together very nicely.

Even if it isn't 100% done, as long as you can drive it safe, bring her on down man!

1964c-10 · 05-21-2011, 01:14 AM

thanks fryer!

Ryan at the very least it will be a chassis/cab, i'm more concerned if it will be legal to drive it by then, i havent really checked into what i need to do to get it reregistered and licensed yet

1964c-10 · 05-30-2011, 01:12 PM

well i finished getting the brake lines installed yesterday, and got my shifter linkage working working properly.

i took the truck out for a couple laps around the barn yard yesterday - this was my first time ever driving the truck and it was a blast!

1964c-10 · 06-16-2011, 02:38 AM

well i broke my hand about 1 1/2 weeks ago and had to have 2 pins put in it, so progress has been pretty slow lately between that and the summer class i have been taking.

lately i have been working on piecing my bedsides together, i had to graft the top portion of 1 bedside onto another, and both sides needed rear quarter panels, and the part that the tail light mounts to. i might be laying some bondo tommorrow hopefully.

i recieved my power lock/ alarm kit from Classic Industries last week and have it wired up as much as possible right now, still need to do some sheet metal work, sand blasting, and bondo on the doors.

i think the only major parts that i am still needing are my carpet and seat covers which are on back order at Classic Industries.

For those who may not know, i am planning on having this truck painted and put back together for the Good Guys show in Des Moines July 1-3. my deadline is creaping up fast, but if i get those parts in i think i can make it!

1964c-10 · 07-10-2011, 02:17 AM

well i got everything into paint now and am working on reassembling whats left. we put the front and rear glass in last week. yesterday and today i put my new wheels on and got the drivers door put on and together.

i will put up some new pictures later

Indian113 · 07-11-2011, 07:47 AM

I can't wait to see this thing in person,good progress keep it up

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-11-2011, 11:28 AM

Man, it's coming together great! Do you have any new dead lines for it you'd like to meet?

1964c-10 · 08-23-2011, 07:00 PM

alright, i havent updated this in quite a while because ive been pretty busy lately but i got the truck on the road now and have probably driven it 150 miles or so. im still working out the kinks but it is driveable. still have to put the tailgate on and put some parts in the doors and some other misc. stuff to do.

i have alot of pictures to post up so im not sure if they will all be in the right order...

1964c-10 · 08-23-2011, 07:05 PM
