Re: LockDoc's "Low Budget", "Low Maintenance" Project Thread

Fuel lines are secured, rear simulators installed, new battery, tail light wire loom secured with original clips, license plate light and rear plate installed. The '67 Chevy Cab & Chassis rear end assembly has 1/2" wheel studs and I wasn't able to find the correct stud adapters for it, for the simulators. I just screwed the lug nuts onto a 1/2" bolt then slid the 9/16" adapters down over the bolt to hold everything straight and tack welded them to the lug nuts. (I added more weld after I took the last picture) That worked out good...... I will see about getting the tailgate installed and take it out for a test drive today. I will post a couple of overall pictures this afternoon also. LockDoc

Great job on the truck, LockDoc! I am way behind you (just now getting the frame stripped), but your thread here is very motivating.

We cut my bed wood this afternoon. I brought it home and ran it through the planer. I was hoping to get the pieces cut to width but ran out of daylight. I might get it cut tomorrow but it is supposed to rain for the next 3 days so we will see..... Lots of shavings.... LockDoc

Re: LockDoc's "Low Budget", "Low Maintenance" Project Thread
Really cool truck Doc! And as amazing as the build has been I'm more amazed at the selection of tools you have! Like that nice planer your making sawdust with. I wouldn't mind being your neighbor.

Thanks for the nice comment on the truck. I have had that planer for a lot of years. I used to make a lot of larger wall hung clocks and that is the reason I bought it. There is a lot of open land around me.... LockDoc

Re: LockDoc's "Low Budget", "Low Maintenance" Project Thread
This is cool. Before seeing projects like this I considered work trucks and hot rods to be separate entities. Now you've got me considering how I can get away with building a combo unit. Keeping the exterior businesslike is key IMO. That truck will be capable of carrying lots of locks ; )
I know that it's work-ready and all that but the wood-n-strips in the bed look sharp. |

Thanks. I appreciate that.

Thanks. It sure would haul lots of locks, and get them there pretty quick too.... ... I plan on using it to pull my 20ft tilt bed trailer and general hauling. I still need to find a good frame mounted hitch to put on it. LockDoc

The engine had to go though it's cycle times to get used to its new surroundings.
