1964 swb,3.73 posi,361sbc\91 700r4. Heres some when I brought it home and some progress yesterday.

Troy etching primer is old school, you really only need a good epoxy primer I had the same question and everyone set me straight on the whole primer thing post pics soon

shortbed70 · 07-08-2010, 10:24 PM

I didnt end up using etch primer I used epoxy on bare steel then urethane after that. Thanks for posting I'm glad to see people still look at this thing even though its taking FOREVER. Well progress... Front bags are in and lines roughly routed until I get a tank now its time to get brakes and steering figured out then hang the front clip

Im wondering did you put the truck back together before you painted and then take it back apart to paint it or just how did you or how are going to do it?

shortbed70 · 07-08-2010, 11:39 PM

Being the paint is satin black I'm painted pieces as I get them done. Cab and doors once,then fenders,now I'm working on the grill filler panel and inner fenders then the bed. The bed I havent even started on it yet. When I go to paint the truck the final color I am going to pull front clip as an assembly with hood then pull motor and probably pull the bed off. I was planning on jaming everything first like firewall,door jambs fender edges and back of cab and front of bed BUT couldnt afford paint and I wanted to drive this thing so satin black it was.

nice!
that has a lot of travel!

shortbed70 · 07-09-2010, 12:18 AM

Yea so much that it is putting my upper balljoint in a bind SO... I am looking for some balljoints that have more travel to them. It goes from the x member about 2" off the ground to the front suspension being completly locked up to where it cant lift anymore. It goes up slow now being off a blowgun but drops like a rock...Its going to be fun. Thanks for the comment.

baggedout81 · 07-09-2010, 05:01 PM

I'm still wondering about these ball joints.They might be the same bolt pattern but i'm not sure about the width if it will fit in the spindle

bama63 · 07-09-2010, 08:23 PM

nice work!

shortbed70 · 07-10-2010, 12:38 AM

Thanks bama63. Mark those fricken things are 99 EA...Damn.

C10Slim · 07-13-2010, 10:08 PM

Do you have any more detail on the headers your running? Brand or even better model number?

shortbed70 · 07-13-2010, 10:58 PM

SUM G9001 or 9001-9 for ceramic. Summit brand right from the catalog. Keep in mind my motor is in an od location and I had to trim the pass side rail slightly to clear.

baggedout81 · 07-29-2010, 08:20 PM

Lets get them tanks mounted and start plumbing

nicke · 07-29-2010, 09:11 PM

looking really good!

shortbed70 · 07-30-2010, 08:24 PM

Sunday Sunday Sunday come one come all for the tank extravaganza! Just havin alittle fun.

shortbed70 · 08-06-2010, 12:33 AM

Well air tanks are mocked into place and trailer is loaded for blaster. Pics to come cause I got alot of work to do on the bed.

shortbed70 · 08-06-2010, 03:40 PM

Well wasted a trip to the blaster they told me last week they wanted to see it to estimate then I haul it there and now I have to take it back wednesday. Heres some pics of tanks mounted on truck and stuff before blaster. And my neew painted trailer.

**Captainfab** · 08-07-2010, 12:25 AM

What tailights is that rear pan set up for?

shortbed70 · 08-07-2010, 02:24 AM

They are the round trailer lights cheap! I think it's going to get cut off and do some flush mount lights. I am either going to have to fab up the tail pieces of the bed or quit being a tight ... And buy the pieces! We'll see what it looks like after the blaster

shortbed70 · 08-09-2010, 11:05 PM

Well guys just got my new driveshaft in and installed and now my next venture is I have to notch my trailing arm crossmember to be able to lay out. One step forward two steps back.... This should be fun with it in the truck and cab on frame. I will have plenty of pics as soon as I tear into it. Here I thought I was getting close to moving on its own power.

Alan's Classic · 08-09-2010, 11:09 PM

Trailer looks nice Troy!! Also nice progress on your truck.

shortbed70 · 08-10-2010, 12:03 AM

Thanks alan...

shortbed70 · 08-15-2010, 08:46 PM

Well actually made some progress today. I almost got the trans crossmember welded togather and decided to change the fluid in my trans while it was easy to get the pan off. Im waiting to get my parts back from the blaster so I can start on them and I need to get my cab up so I can work on rear crossmember for drive shaft clearance.

baggedout81 · 08-17-2010, 06:24 PM

There still not done w/ that bed.I'm gonna hate to see it when it gets back

The last big piece to the puzzle as far as the body goes
