Just kidding

Here's a couple of pics. Darrah was wanting to drive yesterday and getting tired of seeing the truck in the shop. So we put the seat in and let her take it out. The second one is the girls eating some mud bugs.

The last is the new paint booth installed at our shop. the doors stand around 17' and ceiling is about 20'.

Mudbugs...

Jeff La · 06-02-2014, 10:38 PM

They got mudbugs that far north

I have eaten my belly full a few times this year

Nice to see that big smile! Always a grin on my face when cruising in mine.

4dranch · 08-25-2014, 09:11 PM

Scored some good stuff at the junk yard yesterday

. the doors are in excellent shape. good stuff to sell at super Chevy . the hub caps will clean up good. they have no noticeable dents.

No doubt! My oldest daughter is going on 13 and loves it when I pick her up from after school activities, sports, friends houses in my 60 stepper

I dont know if I will ever be ready for her to learn to drive on my 60 yet...

Is that a th350? What did you need to get it to work on the 235? I am wanting to convert my 1961 c10 4speed to an automatic 350 transmission. I have the original Thriftmaster 235 I want to keep. I am the same way I dont want to be stuck in traffic on a hill. Ca traffic is terrible! By the way AWESOME BUILD!

4dranch · 02-09-2015, 01:40 AM

Sorry it took so long to reply. it was real easy. let me try to remember.you get rid of the old transmission and fly wheel. remove the old mounting plate. we made a new mounting plate install the new fly wheel make sure you pop out the bushing where the spline goes on the engine. install the new tranny. we left the old radiator and put a cooler in front of it and ran our lines in the frame. added a brass nipple to the carb for vacuum. measured our drive shaft and had it cut down. hope this helps I'm sure I missed something but it was real easy.

4dranch · 02-09-2015, 04:04 PM

here are some update pictures. we finally found a honest painter / body man.

4dranch · 02-09-2015, 04:05 PM
