Re: Project "Popeye"
Looks like the move to SW MO was worth it.

Re: Project "Popeye"
If you mean the kind of neighborhood where we can afford to rent but not buy then yes

Re: Project "Popeye"
Rear brake line tee and new lines. I used the "easy bend" line from O'Reilly's which is cheap and easy to use. I prefer the look of steel or stainless but I have to remember its just a rusty old truck. The braided cable bulkheads at c-notch frame plate, then 90's up to the front. I wish I could test my inverted double flares before the truck is all together.
Nothing special here, but we all like pics!

Re: Project "Popeye"
Looks like your getting settled in! I move from Nixa and then you move there, what a bummer. I am pretty sure that I know where you live after the last comment you made and If I am correct I work with the lady in which you may be referring to. Actually, I oversee the collector car claims process over half of the US! Pretty small world.... You will have to come out to the NSRA kick off party we are having at our office in Springfield, there will be some real nice rides out there.

Re: Project "Popeye"
Hey Leevon...
The tire/wheel combo rocks dude!! Cant wait to see the final result. A very interesting trans you are using....seems like a great 4 speed alternative...basically a 3sp with OD....what a great option for these AD trucks. I've been searching the web and found lots of info about them....but they seem to be tuff to find. Did you find a online source or did you just find at you local bone yard?? Thanks!! Neal |

Re: Project "Popeye"
Thanks guys!
MaydayNeal, I'm kind of an opportunist with parts so I didn't set out to use the NP833 but one popped up on Craigslist so I grabbed it and went from there. I've seen a couple for sale since, one was on the HAMB and another one here but if you have a good junkyard they might keep an eye out. I think I posted the name of the place where I got the bellhousing, that dude was great to deal with. Even though he's out of state he might be a good resource. I also have a business card to a guy in texas who rebuilds manual transmissions and was at the Wichita swap meet this year. He had one with him...I might be able to find the card but no guarantees. I also told him what my plans for the trans are and he seemed to think it would take some abuse and if not, he could do some tricks to it.

Re: Project "Popeye"
Popeye has been waiting patiently in the corner...he's about to get some attention once again. I took this pic of him yesterday.

Re: Project "Popeye"
I finally got organized and clean again after the 3 month detour getting my '71 back up to cruising duty standards. I need to tackle the cab rust on Popeye, it is a little overwhelming, but I bet a good long weekend would get it whooped. Any tips or experience to share with replacing the kick panels and toe boards?

Re: Project "Popeye"
Just dig in! I sat and looked a my truck for over a year cause when you start thinking about doing this and that and the other it gets freaking overwhelming. Your cab looks pretty good other than the toe board corners.

Re: Project "Popeye"
Make sure your brace the rest of the cab to keep it square while removing those critical corner pieces. Check your door fit as you go. Its a pain but much better than getting done and having to do it over or spend a lot of time modifying the doors.

Re: Project "Popeye"
your build is very inspirational! ive read good things about the New Process 3 speed /overdrive trans. I was going to buy one for my truck but wasnt ready for it when the guy decided to sell. i now have a muncie that i plan on installing in the next week or so. im disapointed to read that the under floor brake pedal hits the clutch arm. i dont want to relocate my master and quite like it under the floor, but i also really want a four speed!!!
