modify inner bedsides for gas filler and wider tires

[forestb]

Started putting some dynomat and found some rust at the bottom of my cab corner pockets.

Doing a little rearranging in my shop to get the bed back on the chassis. Finished wiring up the bed lights and the instrument cluster lights.

Dude, that looks great!

That's almost too pretty to ever use as a truck again! What is the large hatch for in the centre of the bed?

[RPANTALEON]

Rescued a 1964 fleet-side from rotting in someones yard, this will be my first build. Looking forward to the sweet and blood and tears complete frame off. signed up as this looks to be the place for Chevy info. so to answer the question what did i do my chevy today? power wash the pack rats nest and rat feces out of every crevice of this truck.

[vin63]

Thanks! It's an access door to the rearend fill and electrical relays I have mounted under the bed.

I was finally able to install one of the Saginaw 3 speed OD transmission's I have. Have to get the drive shaft shortened as this trans is 5" longer then my stock one.

[Ratman74]

got my new tires installed

[studeclunker]

Drove the old man into town to do errands. I do get tired spending an hour outside O'Reilly's trouble-shooting the tail lights... This time it seems to have been a fuse... I think.

[Ratman74]

put the new wheels and tires on

[65chevysub]

Removed the last 2 pieces of the original "headliner" material out of my Sub. Found a nice rusty spot above the dome light from where I had a magnetic XM Radio antenna mounted with the cord run through the roof. Going in for knee surgery the 18th, so trying to clean up the roof so I can paint the inside of the roof with oil base paint, then get some foil backed foam from Home Depot to put on it. Will have a custom headliner made after the truck gets painted, from a friend who does custom work here in the Verde Valley. Got some of the inside sanded today and removed the 2 6X9 speakers. I didn't realize how long the bedsides were until I started sanding them.

Pulled the blower and made my own gasket because all the speed shops are closed and usually don't carry them anyways. Install a new msd 8570 and set the timing. My old distributor was so rusty it wouldn't advance. I pop the cap once in a while to look but I didn't think it was that bad. All in all it's been a good weekend and the truck is flying again!

[Jeffh]

Pulled what was left of the inline six and three speed manual trans out. Probably just a few nice days left then I am done for the season, don't have a heated shop.

[raidmagic]

I got my new under bed tank installed and plumbed. Works great. Took it for a test drive and blew out a brake line. Bought new brake lines, haven't installed yet.

[Pontiacgurudan]

I did a tape measure wheel alignment and took my truck for its first drive in almost three years. I upgraded to disc brakes, which turned into a crossmember swap. I added power steering, I wanted to run a later model serpentine setup. The one I found was attached to a 95 tbi motor with the 4l60e, naturally I left it attached and put the whole lot in. Cut up the original harness and stripped out what I didn't need, made it a couple feet shorter. The whole thing got out of hand. Everything was done on a shoestring budget. It runs and drives amazing, the overdrive is awesome. Still have a bunch of stuff to do but it runs and drives finally, going to make it a daily driver, it was before the upgrades with the original 283 stick.

[Chevy Fleetside]

My truck had one West Coast Jr Mirror when I bought it. It has been giving me trouble for a while now and if finally broke at the bottom from rusting out, so I went with a stock mirror for now. I just put it on today and had to drill out the old screws that were in there for 50 plus years. I soaked them with oil and even tried heat but it was burning the paint Oh fun. I will probably paint them white. I saved the old mirror and maybe I can weld it back together. I had to use Gorilla Tape to keep it together.

Shiny black looks pretty sharp, in pictures anyways.

Started repairing cancer in fenders

Looks good! Do you have any more pics of that rear sway bar? Are you runnung Chopping Block up front as well? If so, I'd love to see some pics of their front sway bar if you're running one! I've been wanting to add front and rear bars, but I don't have the spare cash right now.

Check FAQ section - "sway" and you'll find many, many threads with info on sway bars for our trucks. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=646002
