What construction adhesive did you use? Thanks

San Diego Ron · 09-10-2016, 08:06 PM

Well, today I taped and sprayed epoxy primer/sealer.

Yep! I do the same thing. lol

1968aj · 09-11-2016, 09:34 PM

Did some cleaning on the trucks. took them for a short ride one at a time of course. its a long story how I ended up with 3 69 models and really wanted a 68.

everettelane · 09-11-2016, 10:02 PM

Built a new trans cross member for my six speed made it so i could run exhaust under it also cut out the rear cross member and welded in plate to run exhaust through it.Pay no attention to the (temporary) fuel lines i had to do that to move the truck, i plan on going stainless tubing.

**RodnRudy** · 09-12-2016, 07:21 PM

Yesterday I reinstalled the tail light trim that came with the truck, not 68 correct but I like it and it's cheap like me. Today I reinstalled the door sill plates and hauled the rider to the daughters and mowed her grass. This old girl hauls!

How did that install go? Do tell. What drop did you buy? ECE?

crazyjeenyus · 09-12-2016, 11:38 PM

Broke in the cam on the new engine with my newly built run-stand.

VWNate1 · 09-13-2016, 12:50 PM

RE : cam breakin ~ what RPM's and how long did you run it ? .

66clow · 09-13-2016, 02:21 PM

I didn't let living in a an apartment keep me from doing a little bodywork

also tested out some temporary rattle can colors. May go with the satin blue on the bottom and plastidip the top satin black or just rattle can all of it.

San Diego Ron · 09-13-2016, 05:55 PM

Nice truck, I wouldn't raddle can it, Maaco quoted me price of $900 with body work or $300 less without door jams. Want to two-tone mine so going it alone with paint from (Paint For Cars. com) Toms River, N.J. ...$75/$85 per gallon kit with everything. By the way mine is going to be silver on top with Midnight Blue on bottom...about like your color.

Can we get a photo of the shifter location in the cab? And what shifter location did you use on the trans? Is this the T56 Magnum 6 speed?

Really nice job on the trans mount by the way!

Thanks!!!

In The Ten Ring · 09-13-2016, 07:15 PM

I wished I had it back together and running. Does that count?

Thanks for the advise. I just want to be able to take it completely apart when I do paint it. Funds tight right now so just wanted something temporary and cheap.

TwoFiftyShifter · 09-13-2016, 08:24 PM

I put new valve cover gaskets on and some hooks in the stake pockets. Drove around some too with my dog.

instead of rattle cans have you checked out duplicolor they have a cheap already mixed paint system for a spray gun . it is only a small step better than spray bombs but its easier to get it looking even . it is laquer but should hold up better and look better probably around 200 bucks to do a truck our size . no mixing pour through a strainer right into a gun and spray
