haha right.
Hopefully going to find me some 5x2'' Steel at the shop by my house this week. The front section will be 5x2'' to slip in the factory frame rails and the C notch and the rear of the frame will be 4x2''.

I like you schematic drawings bud. Did the same thing.
Thought I scanned it and put on my build tread but, I didn't.
I will have to find it.

Wow those factory prints are awesome. I'm going to print them out. Should be a good reference point for rebuilding my frame.
Thanks for posting

sams60gmc · 11-18-2009, 12:22 AM

Stayed a few hours after work today and worked on my stepside bed. A guy at work made me some caps and I welded them in. Also got all that old soggy wood out of it. Painted it so it doesn't rust and put it back outside.

sshockr · 11-18-2009, 12:28 AM

Ordered an AC Bypass pulley and gutted a power steering pump to function as a bypass pulley, also started slicing and dicing the 95LT1 engine harness.

sams60gmc · 11-18-2009, 02:58 AM

Pics from today. First one are the filler caps. My buddy at work thought it would be a good idea to break the sides of them. He made some for his bed too. They fit pretty decent. Gonna try and draw up some full size cardboard frame rails tomorrow to start getting my steel together.

monolith · 11-18-2009, 09:05 PM

Finished painting the 64 flat black and pulled the front bumper off.

fryco · 11-19-2009, 12:18 AM

I spent the last few days digging through boxes looking for my missing VIN tag. $30,000 invested and lose the one part the was free (and has no meaning

)

Apparently thats way to much to sand around for a body man, so he drilled it off last fall and promptly lost it!!! Lucky Me!!!! To his defense he did weld the holes closed for it

jgh64pkup · 11-19-2009, 12:24 AM

wellthat sucks doesnt it
sorry to hear that hope you find it

Bad deal...sent me a PM, if you need help with your VIN.

*LILRED66* · 11-19-2009, 02:36 AM

We have been working the past several days on Jon C's big back window, factory A/C cab. We are making some good progress and should be done in a few days. Sorry for the photo quality...the shop lights and my digital camera aren't getting along very well.

816allen · 11-19-2009, 10:59 AM

Rebuilt my cluster today when i got off work and replaced my speedo and now i know how fast im goin & put my new caps on my wheels WOW i love it and now putting on a rear stock sport bumper Thanks LILRED66 Love the shop will shop from ya again! Pics will come soon ill update this post soon!

62 short step · 11-19-2009, 11:28 AM

Putting my heater back in my truck, then i found out the cable that operates the heater on off switch is broke!!

816allen · 11-19-2009, 04:04 PM

As for the heater thing i had some heater stuff go on also this week,
I got a new motor because mine got weak and was making real loud bad noises so i got one came home took it out relized it was just the fan.......
No need to fix whats not broken so i take the motor back get a fan the dam fan cost about the same as the motor, they went up in price like 12 bucks up in price......... OUCH........ but it all works great now...
So if you hear a nasty noise coming from the motor its prob just the fan...
For those that have not messed with the heater yet....
Also changing that part made me so happy i owne this truck it was so dam fast and EASY these trucks are the BEST!!!!

Tx Firefighter · 11-19-2009, 07:34 PM

Finished all of the little details in the engine compartment. It's a used 250 that I bought from another board member 2 weeks ago. I gave it a little clean off, some new gaskets, and fresh paint.

New battery tray and hardware too. How nice, I usually build my own. It was refreshing to just spend the cash and get one ready to bolt in.

I needed a new radiator, so I ordered one of the generic Summit aluminum ones like Chief Rocka detailed in his thread. I mounted mine a bit differently, but it's in there real nice. Great price too.

It took a bit of head scratching to come up with some nice molded radiator hoses since this is a non stock application now. It was worth it to me because I hate flex hoses.

Matty Wagz · 11-19-2009, 08:32 PM

I worked on making the "new" frame for the 96 dodge seat I picked up for in my 66.

63deluxfleet · 11-19-2009, 08:40 PM

jgh64pkup · 11-19-2009, 08:43 PM
