Re: 1964 SWB Step Side Chop Top
I have put some miles on Wild Thang the Shades of the Past in Pigeon Forge & the Rod Run the following weekend drove her to several car shows and generally just enjoyed driving that 383 4 speed. Time to do some upgrades...planning on doing the Hot Rod Power Tour in June

Re: 1964 SWB Step Side Chop Top
I like what you did with the wheels, how did you get those hub caps to fit?

Re: 1964 SWB Step Side Chop Top
I bought the lug nuts from the Charlotte Auto Fair to fit my truck with the screw on caps, the center caps are from a 90’s truck. I think they make those old 4x4 wheels

Re: 1964 SWB Step Side Chop Top
I wanted to put the later model caps on an old set of 6 lug rally wheels, as you did. But, I could not figure out how to attach them, so I bought a set of repro rally wheels that had the nubs for car-style caps. I do like them, but I wish I could have gotten the truck caps to fit.

Re: 1964 SWB Step Side Chop Top
Started working on the inside of my bed...someone sanded it down and primed it years ago but as you know primer does not seal the metal and rust will show its face if you leave it long enough.

Re: 1964 SWB Step Side Chop Top
Found some tail lights I liked, they are not made for the truck so I had to fab some brackets but they are different than most I've seen on these trucks and got to love the blue dot.

Re: 1964 SWB Step Side Chop Top
I just realized I left out some information on my new truck, I traded my Jeep I have had for 16 years. The truck came with a "rebuilt" 327 and a 4 speed. On my first out of state trip from East TN to SC I ran it through the gears with a friend riding showing off a little, it just shut down. when I tried to start it there was no compression on a few cylinders and would not start. After towing it back to my friends house we discovered the timing chain broke. I tore it down and replaced the timing chain and still had no compression on one cylinder so the motor had to come out.

Re: 1964 SWB Step Side Chop Top
Took a road trip down to SC about 4 1/2 hr. drive the old truck did well. Made into my home town for the family Christmas get together. Last night I was playing around and threw the fan belt off...no big deal...stuck a new one on it...everything seemed ok..thought I had been feeling a slight vibration but couldn’t pin point where it was coming from, Well tonight I found out what the vibration was. I took a my uncle for a ride in “Wild Thang” I ran her through the gears feeling that 383 4 speed pull...when I grabbed 3rd gear she shot way sideways and we were looking at the trees for a minute but I stayed in it and got her slowed down. I was smelling antifreeze so I pulled over and opened the hood to see what the damage was and the fan was through the radiator and the water pump was broke off of the engine...never seen this kind of carnage on a water pump before...so new radiator and water pump tomorrow...

Re: 1964 SWB Step Side Chop Top
I have never seen a water pump broken like that. Also I am a little confused. The pic above shows your 383 with an aluminum water pump but the broken one is cast iron.

Re: 1964 SWB Step Side Chop Top
The aluminum pump started leaking so I replaced it, there was a little time laps between those pictures lol. I have never seen that myself. I think the fact that I had a 3” spacer on the seven blade fan and about 6,500 RPMs contributed to the problem. The weight and rpm pulled the presses on peace the fan bolts to off. It broke that one side and Broke the bolts off of the other side...On a side note I need to get with you on your power brake braket to get power brakes on my truck.

Re: 1964 SWB Step Side Chop Top
On my way home today I stopped by one of my friends body shop and found one of the best looking 58 Cameo I’ve seen, he just finished some paint work, this truck is impressive, I really like the gas filler behind the tail light

Re: 1964 SWB Step Side Chop Top
Oh and the 4 1/2 hour trip home was uneventful no issues this time. I guess I’ll start on my upgrade list to get ready for the Hot Rod Power Tour in June it will be here before you know it.
