I can see the light!
This is a household light socket that the po put in. I put a 12 volt bulb in it and it works!

That's so cool. Years ago I used to use a five watt bulb in household socket hooked to my CB radio. It would light up when you talk or modulate. Really neat way of testing the radio.

Thanks, Sounds like a good idea

First day of Christmas break, so I got busy. Built a 1bbl to 2bbl adaptor plate out of aluminum. Ported and polished the inside so it should flow pretty good. Then I got started on the linkage, the pic below is the pedal assembly after I flipped the arm so when I give it gas it pulls instead of pushing. Then I built a rod with bends that goes from the pedal arm to the carb. Here's a video: http://youtu.be/PU0i3WgsB0Y

Nice work on the linkage.

**TJ's Chevy** · 12-20-2015, 04:21 PM

Looks good. That a carb off a gmc v6?

Thanks guys. No the carb is a carter that I got for free from my dad's plymouth sine he went to a 4bbl.

62stepside longbox · 12-21-2015, 07:21 PM

Made a cross member to put between the frame rails for the gas tank straps to bolt to. I will weld it in place later today.

62stepside longbox · 12-21-2015, 07:22 PM

02

62stepside longbox · 12-21-2015, 08:52 PM

Made some gas tank straps

**TJ's Chevy** · 12-21-2015, 09:17 PM

Cool, has the carter seemed to make a difference?

62stepside longbox · 12-22-2015, 02:38 AM

Not a huge difference but defiantly helps

62stepside longbox · 12-22-2015, 02:55 AM

Ok no pics right now but I finished all of the gas tank straps and mounts and bolted the tank in. Now it's time to pull it back off and get the bumper mounted so I know where to cut the hole for the gas filler.

62stepside longbox · 12-23-2015, 02:04 AM

Started working on mounting the bumper. Built one of two brackets that will be welded to the bumper and bolt to a piece of angle iron that will go inside the frame rails. I made the holes oblong so that the height of the bumper can be adjusted.

62stepside longbox · 12-23-2015, 06:44 PM

Number 2 is finished. The old set of files is sure getting a good workout

62stepside longbox · 12-23-2015, 09:34 PM

I found this inside my radio

65sub · 12-23-2015, 09:38 PM

Nice work on the bumper brackets. Did you really make the slots with a file?

**TJ's Chevy** · 12-23-2015, 10:01 PM

X2, Nice work.

62stepside longbox · 12-23-2015, 10:43 PM

Thanks guys. Yes I made them with a drill press, a hacksaw but mostly files. Took a while. Times like these when a cnc plasma cutter would come in handy

62stepside longbox · 12-26-2015, 01:47 AM

Installed my Christmas present! Sun pro super tach 2.
I'm impressed with the quality, compatibility and look.

**TJ's Chevy** · 12-26-2015, 01:25 PM

Nice!

rusty76 · 12-26-2015, 09:30 PM

Cool

I am also 15. I am doing a 1964 k10. Go on youtube and check out "gibson63" He is doing a 1963 chevy. He does some of the best work i have seen. shows the steps in great detail. I would go and watch some of his videos. he is amazing.

Hey I'm 16. Nice to see another guy my age here. lol 4X4's rock! I've seen many of Gibson's videos. He has a sweet truck. He's apart of this club. Username "Boat." He pops up once in a blue moon. Hope your truck is going well.

Hey! Great to see more young guys on here. I would like to see what your doing to your truck. Do you have a build thread? What are your plans? I've seen some of gibson63's videos and he does great work.
