Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
No, I have a 57 Cameo that has a Napco 4 wheel drive, a 70 longbed that I am going to sell. I also have a little custom trailer that I seem to use a lot.

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Kevin, did you ever spill the beans on the milky, glue like, rust inhibitor that you were using? I read through the thread but didn't see it anywhere.
Thanks. |

Well the truck is up and running and even has brakes now too. It looks like it will be going back to the paint shop soon to finish paint.

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Well I finally got the transmission to behave and it works well. I took it out on the freeway today at 70MPH and it did well. Now I can get some work done on some of the little problems before it goes back to the body shop to finish the paint. I was worried that the gears would be too high with the 4L80e and 3.73 gears with 35 inch tires but with the 454 it seemed to do well and seemed happy at the 1900 RPM at 70. I will be going to Reno next week for Hot August nights with the orange extended cab so if you see me say hi.

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
So did you get ahold of Jim @ ATO? I left you a message that I had the springs if you still needed them.

I was able to figure out the problem with the trans from someone on another forum. I must have missed the message about the springs but he bought a new set, thanks again. I will give you a call. |

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Amazing work fellas.... I wish I knew how to do that sort of rust repair; Someday maybe, I gotta buy me a welder.
Keep up the good work! |

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Well I think I have most of the bugs worked out of the crew cab so it is going back to paint. I have about 400 miles on it now and the A/C is blowing cold but without the front side windows and no rear window it don't keep the cab cool at all.

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Actually I do. I have about 400 miles on the new motor and I am getting 9.6 miles to the gallon right now. This was both in town and on the highway.
