Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
thanks Dale!
just painted, hoping to finish up over the weekend. not sure about the tonno, see what it looks like all together scratched a headliner, tried to give it a '50's feel been thinning down the panel a bit, sure is hefty. dr side is done, pass is not. the calipers are how fat the roof is! top heavy.... |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
I love the red and white. It looks great and the headliner is a nice touch too. I'm not sure about the tonno either. As heavy as the panel is you wont have a heat warping problem...lol

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
yup, know what thats like....
got 2 crews & a '55 waiting, a peterbilt.....and then today i threw a couple more in the mix. too good a deal to pass up, for up here anyway. '70 big block impala 3n1 $10, another'68 elky big block $10 '60 fleetside, $5 cause the box is boogered, like i care.... going to try find another '60 to make a crewy, impala & elky i snagged for parts, mainly the b.blocks, cause i have no more big blocks left in the parts box, had just enough to put one together for the panel. it costs me 'bout 3x's what i paid for the impala for one b.block from the casters was re-hashing these old headers out, but i think i will snag a set of the stockers from the impala. thats whats left of a cowl plenum air cleaner |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
I have a few offers but if I take one my severance dissappears. So I'll get stuff done around the ranch and then worry about it. Make the payment and make her happy. I suck at picking jewelry too.

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
i tell ya Dale, i REALLY be liking how this thing looks!
...good thing this truck is not female..... my mix-mash rolling stock. tires from Fireball, rims from Scenes Unlimited, brakes from BNL, modified parts box wheel backs & '65 chevy truck caps. and of course none of it fit together worth a crap some racks for the roof, just started rear springs, hoping to get the rear susp done today/tomorrow..... .....cause the front is 90% there. i just cant help myself... |
