Re: pdx-sanity66
When you started on this, I for some reason didn't imagine you making such huge updates and upgrades. Looking at what you've done and your garage sale, Man! you are making this truck brand new. I'm still watching for your custom seat build.
Looking real good.

Re: pdx-sanity66
Yeah, I'm not having much luck. No truck guys have showed up. It would be a pity to have to scrap some of these parts but I'm not going to be able to store them so I need them gone. Sunday is bargain day for sure.

Re: pdx-sanity66
That's a shame. Around here even yard sales can really blow. If I was looking for racing memorabilia or a glass vase I'd be in the money...lol. But cool truck parts not so much. If you do find it for sale usually it has a price tag to match it.

It would be great if you could make it up sometime. I work Sun, Mon, Tue. so I'm not available then but any other time I'm usually just hanging out in the garage. Anything in particular you want?

Re: pdx-sanity66
Oops, almost forgot. I media blasted some parts a week ago and just got around to getting some epoxy on them today. I also got some more fittings and tubing to finish running fuel lines from the tank to the carb.

Re: pdx-sanity66
I finished up getting the lower radiator mounts moved outward and then decided to bolt a couple of things up for fitment. If anybody is interested, using the front holes for the motor mounts moving the engine forward, and using the serpentine belt setup. There are 4 inches between the water pump pulley and the radiator. The one great thing is having the original parts that bolt right back up the way they came off without fitment issues.

The exterior will eventually be a very pale, eggshell, baby blue with white like a two-tone but with the roof also in the blue. I may have to put it together for awhile and drive it before I can think about paint. I'll just have to see what happens down the road. It's been great getting to start assembly of some things. Makes it feel like a real truck again. Thanks, Greg.

Re: pdx-sanity66
I haven't got much of anything done on Sanity this weekend. I had some home projects I had to get done which, as usual, took longer than expected.
I did get to visit with Mr. & Mrs. Bomp for a little bit, though. Greg and his wife drove up to pick up some parts from me and talk trucks and share some stories. I don't get many visitors to my garage so it was cool to hang out. Two very cool people, Thanks again for stopping by. ![]()

Re: pdx-sanity66
I’ve been so busy with my own stuff in the last few months I haven’t got out much to see what everyone else is doing. Went back and checked out the last few pages on your build and it’s really coming along nicely. Other than for its first paint job years ago, mine has always been in daily service making it difficult to achieve the level of detail your truck is showing. I sure like all the choices you’ve made as for parts and paint selection. I may have missed it, but have you decided on colors yet for the inside and exterior? Good to see the cab back on the frame, that’s always a great milestone. Looking forward to the next level of progress!

Re: pdx-sanity66
Thanks for holding the truck parts for me Brett. It was great seeing you and Sanity.
You've made a lot of progress since I saw Sanity last. Clean Clean Clean Truck! Sanity is way better live! That will be One Sweet Truck when you're done! |

Re: pdx-sanity66
I realized today that in order to proceed I need to be able to move the truck a little easier than how it is in its current condition which is no steering control.
Well, I had the manual gear on and connected to the drag link but I had no steering wheel to get the wheels going where I needed them to go to get Sanity in and out of the garage as needed. I had all the parts needed to get going: Power steering gear all cleaned up and painted, Capt. Fab's adapter plate, new Moog idler arm, etc., etc. First I swapped out the idler arm, I drove over to O'Reilly's and borrowed one of their pitman are pullers. They're less than a mile away and I think it's great when you need that one tool that you might not need that often. Today I used the template with Capt.'s kit and got the holed aligned and drilled in the frame. You've got a real nice kit Capt. If anyone reading this thread needs one of these for your truck I highly recommend it. I shot a little paint in the drilled holes to aid in rust prevention, and painted the adapter plate with some Eastwood's extreme chassis black, what I've used on most of the chassis parts I've painted black. Saturday, it will be ready to assemble. I also need to start getting my Camaro tilt column mocked up and the first step is I need to get the bracket that holds the peddle assemblies and the steering column to the underside of the dash. I had already removed the clutch peddle assembly, so I disassembled the brake peddle components, cleaned the parts with some mineral spirits and then bead blasted them. That blaster is the best toy I've got. It just saves me tones of time. They are now ready for some epoxy primer and then the bracket will be installed under the dash so I can start mocking up the column. All the parts are in very nice condition and will be reused or modified to be used.

Re: pdx-sanity66
Here's the finished power steering gear all mounted up. Everything went very smooth and aligned perfectly. The next step is to get the under dash mount in and start mocking up the steering column.
