Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I installed an electric fan off of a 2006 scion tc, dual electric fans fit perfect onto the radiator, will post pics of the install. Looks great and increased horsepower. If you want an electric fan but don't want to pay alot of money for a kit, look for one of these scions at your local junkyard.

I did some preliminary stuff in my interior w/the wrinkle finish but had to do several 'touch-ups' because of a spotty appearance. The other option that I've found looks similar but is easier to get consistent results is rattle can 'texture' paint top-coated w/some satin black.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
That's the nicest looking hose installation I've seen. Sure looks more professional than the factory rubber/metal hoses. Great job.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
In the past few weeks I was able to make some progress.
1. Replaced floor boards & rockers. 2. Installed new posi & ring & pinion. 3. Installed disc brake spindles, rotors and PS box. 4. Ordered new Tremec TKO600 to go with my 454. I'm making progress but slowwwwwwwww going. Still hope to have truck completed by fall. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Wasn't today, and I don't have pics to post yet (they are still on my phone, and this is the first time I have had a chance to get on a computer, and I'm at work). Over my weekend I was finally able to do my 5 inch drop on Tanya! I have a few things to work out from the drop, but she looks great and rides surprisingly well for sitting on the front bump stops. I'm hoping to get some time with my computer in the next couple days, so I should be able to get the pictures I took posted to my build thread.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
What did I do to my 63 and 66 today?
![]() Nothing on the 66. Made the decision to use the motor and tires below in my 63 build. Low stance hot rod style. No SBC because thats what everyone else does. No 20" wheels and slammed because I want to be different.... Yup.. 66 on hold for parts on B/O. Time to collect all the stuff for the 63 shortbed fleetside... Dream dream dream

Right on for Poncho power! I still want to use my Olds 350 in my 65, but now with the factory 4-speed. Found some aftermarket adapters (bellhousings) that will be a bolt in fix, but they are all over $400 and I'm cheap and broke. ![]() |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Cleared an area in the garage to store my hood which I'm planning to pull tomorrow. Need to spend some time cleaning up the firewall and inner fenders for fresh paint.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
My Pontiac is a direct bolt in. In fact, I had my 440 inch motor in my 66 for a few days, broke the cam in and pulled it out because I have too much rumpety rump in the cam.
The motor will go right in the 63 too. The only modification I had to make was to top rail of the frame a little narrower to accept the 79 motor mount plate and drill 1 hole. I am going to get my 15 year old boy out there to wire brush the frame and then use that brush on frame coating and prep I got. The Olds is a direct bolt in too. I have BOP standard bell housings... no adapters needed that I can think of.
