Re: Canadian Rustbucket 66

Finally....... got the thing up and running and on the road. Had a few set backs, including a "rebuilt" transmission that failed, and turned out it was full of worn out parts. Been driving it for about a week now, and a long list of bugs to sort out. Pretty much have the list shortened now. I hope to take it to Spokane in August to the Good Guys meet in August. It has been to a couple of car meets already, and is fun to drive. Looking forward to getting some miles on it.

Re: Canadian Rustbucket 66

Great looking truck. Can you show pics of your emblems placed in the bed trim. I know they aren't factory but nicely placed and very hard to tell. I like the emblem on the air cleaner also....very nicely done.

Re: Canadian Rustbucket 66

Thank you very much. The emblems are the hood or trunk emblem from a 57 Chevy 150 or 210. The Belair ones were usually gold. You can get them from Danchuk or any 567 restoration parts dealer.

Re: Canadian Rustbucket 66

If I keep my current schedule, I should be able to enter the Spokane Good Guys. Would be fantastic to meet you and see this truck, so much of your work inspired me to at least try some things with mine.

Had truck and the car outside the garage together, and thought it would make a good picture. I've had both for a long time.

Re: Canadian Rustbucket 66

I had a bit of a catastrophe coming home from Good Guys in Spokane. There was a big hole cut all the way across the road near Bonner's Ferry that was about 4 or 5 inches deep. I think there was new pavement to go in there, but the paving crew hadn't been there yet. There were no warning signs until you were right there. Hit it at about 30 mph with the brakes on, and there was a very loud bang from underneath that made me really cringe. Upon getting home I found the pass side A arm had a big dent in it. Ouch. As you can see from the pictures, I had a piece of tubing welded into the bottom of the A arm for strength. It probably would have been a lot worse, had the tube not been there. I bought a kit from CPP, new A arms, springs, and anti sway bar. The spring is a bit higher than mine, and the A arms give more clearance than the originals. I need more clearance so this doesn't happen again. The kit was fairly straight forward to install. I think I have gained about 1 1/2 inches more underneath, so hopefully it doesn't hit anything again.

Re: Canadian Rustbucket 66

Thanks fellas. What's next? My winter project is to build a 57 Chevy couch. I found a car that had been hit hard in the side and the whole rear section of the car behind the door has been cut off. Made a deal and now waiting for it to arrive from out of province. I need something to mess with out in the garage for the winter, I'm not one to sit in the house and watch tv. Winters are long and cold up here so a warm shop is the only escape.

Re: Canadian Rustbucket 66

Here are some pics of the 57 couch project. It has the back seat of a 57 in it (cut narrower), 57 2dr ht rear side panels, and the correct upholstery. Lights work with a switch and it is painted 57 tropical turquoise. Very comfortable to sit in, but it was made very clear that it isn't coming in the house. Belongs in the garage anyway.

Re: Canadian Rustbucket 66

Here are some pictures of Good Guys in Puyallup this summer. A major league car show for us Canadians, been to it a few times. The other two are friends I drove down with. One is a 56 Dodge 2 dr. wagon with a 540 cu.in. engine, and the other is a 69 Mercury shortbox pickup. Sorry about the Ford/ Merc product in the picture fellas. Merc trucks were only sold in Canada, and they didn't really sell that well, so they are fairly rare up here too. It freaked out a few of the American guys. I met 66 farmer also (Keith if I remember right), a real cool guy and his truck is nicer in person. We had a great time down there, great venue, good people, and it takes a whole day to see all the cars and trucks..

Re: Canadian Rustbucket 66

Went to a shownshine in High River yesterday, not too far from where I live. Loaded my old Husky that I have had since new, and restored 3 years ago. Still ride it in the mountains a couple times a year. It is an "81 CR430 Husqvarna, pretty primitive compared to what they make today.

Thumbs up Re: Canadian Rustbucket 66

Hey rustbucket66,
Great use of the gas filler hole, frenching in the antenna like that. All your toys are really nicely done. I like that old Husky too. It's tough to beat the simplicity of the old air-cooled 2-stroke bikes.
