Well Craig after we had 24hrs of heavy rain last week if your basement has a leak it would show. Good luck on fixing it all up.

CRGRS 66 · 07-05-2016, 11:30 AM

Camping in upstate NY earlier in the month, picked up some goods @ D-S Auto, Alan Groves Alternator bracket, 3 groove crank pulley, power steering pulley, oil filter adapter and filter. Accessory drive mocked up, just need to dismantle and paint a few items, reassemble, then time to put the engine back in. Also recently purchased an American Auto Wire classic update harness, and a laundry list of other bits and pieces. Should be able to devote some time to the truck starting in a couple of weeks

Johnny_Lamebridge · 07-05-2016, 12:14 PM

Craig, new parts are always fun. It'll be nice to see you back at it.

Where did you camp, Finger Lakes area?

markeb01 · 07-05-2016, 12:48 PM

Great purchase on the Alan Grove parts. I have their stuff on my truck and it works perfectly and lasts indefinitely. Good luck!

Ta2Don · 07-05-2016, 02:00 PM

Craigerr, glad to see you resurface and getting some truck time in...

Letchworth State Park, B E A utifal park, they call themselves the Grand Canyon of the east, but it is a Gorge similar to the Niagara Gorge with the Genesee river running through it... and yes, it is in the finger lakes area

Wish I had gone with alan groves on the power steering pump bracket, the one I go is okay, but I had to shim it out to align it with the crank pulley.

You're secret is safe with me... I won't tell a soul

lower50's · 07-07-2016, 10:25 AM

Good to see you getting at it again buddy.

CRGRS 66 · 01-21-2017, 04:56 PM

I have been making small bits of progress here and there, and have run into an issue with my clutch linkage. I poached these pictures form McMurphy`s thread. I believe I am having the same issue. Stud threads into the boss nicely, but the linkage was nearly impossible to install, and just does not look right. Engine is a basic 350 crate engine. I don`t have any fab skills, hoping Mike reads this and kept the dimensions for his little bracket...

rustbucket66 · 01-21-2017, 05:21 PM

Good to see you surface, and back into your project. I will be following your thread.

lower50's · 01-30-2017, 02:31 PM

If you need help let me know.

CRGRS 66 · 04-22-2018, 08:56 PM

Have been making some progress lately.
Power steering plumbing done.

CRGRS 66 · 04-22-2018, 08:58 PM

Fuel line from pump to carb (stainless tube) done... well almost done, just waiting for the fuel filter to arrive, it will go inline right in front of the carb

CRGRS 66 · 04-22-2018, 08:59 PM

and the pics

CRGRS 66 · 04-22-2018, 09:01 PM

Rear brakes done, did I get them right????

CRGRS 66 · 04-22-2018, 09:03 PM

Rear brake lines bent up and installed, passenger side

CRGRS 66 · 04-22-2018, 09:05 PM

Driver side

CRGRS 66 · 04-22-2018, 09:10 PM

couple more of the driver side, really gives the brain a work out... Hey, don't forget to throw that nut on before you make your first bend...

**The Rocknrod** · 04-22-2018, 11:06 PM

That fuel line looks sweet, your very good at that.

**Captainfab** · 04-23-2018, 12:00 AM

Nice work on the tube bending

**Palf70Step** · 04-23-2018, 07:37 AM

....Way better with that tubing bender than I am. Great looking work.

CRGRS 66 · 04-23-2018, 07:43 AM

Thanks guys, did I put the brake hardware back together correctly?
We do some pretty intricate tube bending for some OEM customers, I will post some pictures.

lower50's · 04-23-2018, 08:26 AM

Hi Craig Glad to see your still at it!! Love the fuel line. As far as I see the brakes seem to be correct.

CRGRS 66 · 04-23-2018, 08:30 AM

Don't have great pictures handy, but this will give you an idea.

lower50's · 05-23-2018, 03:57 PM

Get the boys at your work to bend those lines up?
