Isn't it a little late for that?

1969k10stepside · 03-17-2007, 10:55 PM

Today,started cutting up my 2wd parts trucks for scrap to fund the build and give me space in the yard for the truck if it ever parks out side

Also cleaned up the shop but truck wise did nothing.If I finish loading up scrap metal tomorrow Im going to do some body work on the passenger side fender.

1969k10stepside · 03-18-2007, 09:23 PM

Well,I have the week off so tomorrow Im going to pull the front clip off the truck and work on the passenger side fender and do some work on the core support.Im trying my best to get some good inner fenders too,I will see how that goes...

1969k10stepside · 03-19-2007, 03:27 PM

Well,I removed the pasenger side fender and managed to paint it.I didnt have any flat black so I had to paint it gloss black

Atleast its not a permanent paint job.
350 will go here shortly:

Are you leaving the swan?

1969k10stepside · 03-19-2007, 05:04 PM

Its not staying on the hood but I am keeping it in honor of the guy who gave me a truck that supplied parts for this and my other 4x4.Its about to fall off the hood but I havent got around to removing it.It will be off when it comes time to work on the hood

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-19-2007, 05:19 PM

Looks ALOT like "GQ" except for the various colors

1969k10stepside · 03-19-2007, 05:21 PM

It may all be black for awhile.....As soon as I can get enough of one color to use....

msgross · 03-19-2007, 06:36 PM

If you drink beer then I would make a kegerator and keep the swan for a tap handle... no better way to honor a fella if you ask me!

1969k10stepside · 03-20-2007, 04:10 PM

Pushed the truck outside,took a few pics then did some work on the drivers side door.Then I put some paint on it to sorta match the rest of the truck.Pics:

And yes there is a dent in the passenger side fender

msgross · 03-20-2007, 05:51 PM

I think that your missing a green body panel...ahh you covered the ochre? Now your missing two of the series!

j/k lookin good. If the snow ever melts here (again) then I will get my frame blasted and painted...

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-20-2007, 06:02 PM

All in time she will be solid I bet

1969k10stepside · 03-20-2007, 10:42 PM

Good luck and have fun Mike,Im glad that part is over and Im on the body/motor work stage.Sandblasting is time consuming....
And Luv,hopefully its 100% rust free in time for the meet,or atleast this year

1969k10stepside · 03-21-2007, 11:19 PM

Well,motor shop called.It turns out the motor had to be bored .06 over.It will have some pep now.The motor has $250 in work now,I am about to spend $250 on pistons,rings,lifters,ect.Then $200 in having the heads re done.So that just leaves me to buy a carb,about $300-??? for a carb.I Bought a $115 Edelbrock Performer intake.So about $1115 (+-)in a mild 350.Now,thats going in a $350 truck

I cant wait to see HP numbers on it

Should have the motor back in a week or 2.Maybe in the truck in Mid April

RACINJASON22 · 03-21-2007, 11:24 PM

Sounds like me. I think most of the things I have ran had more $ in the engine than I had in the vehical itself. RJ22

1969k10stepside · 03-21-2007, 11:47 PM

Well,to be fair,its a $1100 motor in a $2000 truck.Started with a rusty $350 truck,added the lift $600,added wheels and tires $730,spent a few hundred on the axles to get them in running condition.So, $3000 in a truck,that hasnt even started body work or paint.My oh my,who would have thought you spend so much on a truck that came from a junkyard.Hopefully it really shows in the end

Before

After

1969k10stepside · 03-22-2007, 09:40 AM

Your right,it has came along ways since I started many months and hundreds of dollars ago.You do have a point but hopefully I will be able to compare the before pic to a pic after its painted and has a motor and is driveable.I might even sneak in the junkyard and park it in the same spot,snap a pic and then compare.

RACINJASON22 · 03-22-2007, 10:59 AM

1969k10stepside I have been watching so I did know you had a little more than that original $350 in it

I'm just a gearhead and even when I put money in the vehical the engine still get most of the attention. It's just the way I am. RJ22

BTW are you going to reveal how that dent got in the fender?

1969k10stepside · 03-22-2007, 11:17 AM

Here is a few pics from when I painted the door I that I didnt post....

The dent was in the fender when I bought it.The truck didnt have fenders and I bought a whole front clip for it.The dent came with the rest...I am going to replace that fender after all anyway

msgross · 03-22-2007, 07:42 PM

What did you decide on brakes.

I just checked on the Poly-Armour lines at my local Napa. They were $25 for a 25ft roll 3/16" but I think that I need 1/4". They seem nice and durable but are dark green? After that and the ends it won't be to bad. More durable and rust resistant than the OEM steel.

1969k10stepside · 03-22-2007, 08:06 PM

I really havent thought about it.I have some that run from the calipers to the frame for the front but thats it.I did dig up my power brake booster to paint though.I might see if Advanced Auto has lines,I do buisness there alot.
I also found another short fleet bed that I will probably buy to replace the other one.I dont know if it has a metal floor or not though.If it does have a wood floor,then I will just use the side panels and tailgate and sell the rest,if it has a metal floor then I will use the whole thing.Same person is also selling a good cab,might buy both and work on them and paint them then swap them on the chassis.
