Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Wow, what a great weekend! Fixed a couple more little issues and got to put another 5 miles or so on the truck and helped Alex get a bunch of stuff done on his truck! It's too fun cruising this thing around! I'm still working on the interior and stereo stuff, so it's not a driver just yet. I was trying to figure out how to run my speaker wire without it pinching the wires as the door closes. I saw a friends truck and the kit they used but me being the cheap-ass did the same thing with very little money. Went to the hardware store and picked up a (1) Screendoor spring 16"x9/16" (2) 7/8" plastic hole plugs and a couple of rubber grommets.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Here's another little no money deal I just finished. I installed my new/old distributor and coil after yanking out the HEI. I couldn't find the plug wire looms I was looking for, so I whipped up something to get me by until I find what I want. I took some 1/4" washers, welded them together and then flattened the weld with a sledge hammer

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
More little tricks! Here's how I setup the heater control; I used a choke cable and a water control valve from a motorhome that I scored at Pick and Plunder! When the knob is pushed in, the water flow is shut off (no heat)

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Here's my throttle pedal idea that works really well. The truck had a linkage from an early-mid 60's Chevy truck, so I decided to go with it. By design the rod rubs on the back of the pedal, it works but could be way smoother. I took a flat chunk of 16 gauge sheetmetal and fastened in to the back of my Cal Custom "Foot" pedal for both the "hinge" and pressure point of the pedal.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
You ARE the Master of Mickey Mouse - but I mean it in the most complimentary and an EXCELLENT way! The more I see of your truck, the more I like it.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Here's how I did my stereo head unit install. Sorry I didn't get pics of the actual piece I made, but here's the pattern I used.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Now for the interior... I used some really cool sign plastic for the door panels and headliner

where did you get the sign plastic? It looks like a good way to go for backing on upholstered panels. |

Is the material you used Styreen? I have some of this left over from a sign project I did. But I found it really hard to cut as the heat from the cutting tool more melted its way through than cut. The edges were really nasty when I was done. Ended up using something else for the project. I would be interesting in knowing what the material was and how you cut it. -Panelrodder

It's really coming out nice. Looks like you'll have to have at the next Brothers truck show.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Interior put me over the top on the trampoline! What a great idea on the head liner and doors.
