Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
I've been on spring break this week so I've been putting a lot of time in on the truck. Haven't taken much pictures.
Got the Lokar shifter in, more center console work done, replaces oiler cooler lines, finished power steering stuff, welded some flanges on the exhaust so I can separate the rear section, got the gas tank done so my buddy can weld it up, got some more wiring done (almost finally done), and some other things I'm sure I'm forgetting. I'm planning on attempting to drive it before the end of the weekend. No floors needed. Also sold my 52 Packard to pay off some of the debt I'm in to the panel truck.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Got some more wiring done. Went after front shocks next. Welded on a tab on the bottom of the Michigan Metal Works arms. I'm using a factory shock and since the crossmember is pancaked I made my shock mount on the bottom. Checked clearance and the frame will hit before the shock mount will.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Put the rest of the front end together and........ DROVE IT! It was a little sketchy without floors but she went down the state route and back. Here's a pic on her maiden voyage.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Was an awesome feeling driving something I've built. Still has a long way to go but overall it was great.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Went on another drive. Still working some bugs out of it. Having issues with the new battery that I just bought in the fall. Ordered an expensive tool to help out with some of the floors. More to come on that later.

Tucked away in the garage. Tight quarters with all the other junk I have in there.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Look's like your coming along, and it looks good to( except for your leg, it don't look so good!).... anyway so do you think you'll make Beatersville? Mines going to be down to the wire, but I will definitely be there!

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Nice to see it back on the road. Bet the drive with no floorboards was fun!!

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Man I don't know. It's going to be down to the wire for me as well. Honesty I don't think I can get the whole thing done by then but I at least want it to look decent. So I might be changing my game plan on it. Now I'm thinking about continuing to knock some work out inside toward the axle then switch and go for some body stuff to make it look halfway decent. Then if I have time go back for the rest of the interior. I haven't ordered any body parts yet. I have t decided if I should order some or attempt to make some with the bead roller I ordered that is suppose to be here this week. I just really wanted to drive it there and I'm not sure if that'll happen or not.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Did a little work tonight. Finally cut the braces off the bottom of the frame. So here's how she officially sits.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Cool truck. Doing the "Fred Flintstone" drive is a right of password for owning these trucks I think...

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Since I sold my 52 Packard and over doubled my $ on it I decided to go full I'm on the panel truck build and bought me a new toy. Went with a 36" with industrial motor and adjustable shaft
