I got the rest of the engine parts blasted, cleaned up for gasket sealing and almost ready for a top coat of purdy.

Re: 67 long box
I found the perfect stowage box for the bed of the truck. 40"x 22"x 15" and with patina and blue and lockable. Best part was that it was free. Yesterday I scored an old stove for 30 bucks to ceramic bake paint on my exhaust manifolds. Way cheaper than 200 bucks to get them done.

Re: 67 long box
The new used oven seems to work great. First cycle just about done and two higher temp bakes.

Score!
I like the creative thinking on both the oven and the utility box. |

Re: 67 long box
Looking Great.
Something to think about is keeping the oil off those Hot manifolds while setting the valves. If you make a shield and use the two bottom valve cover bolt holes it helps. |

Re: 67 long box
Smart thinking to plan ahead and modify the frame for a future power steering upgrade.
At the rate you are going you will hit that May 1 deadline with time to spare. |

Re: 67 long box
Working on the hydraulic clutch linkage to have the master in the factory hole where the clutch rod went out. Going to try and cantilever the output shaft. I have the basic concept and getting about 2 inches of plunger travel so I think I'm in the ball park now.

Re: 67 long box
After some design changes and orientation changes I think it might work through the factory hole without modifying the fire wall. I need to make remake it all with proper material yet but proof of concept seams doable. Got to use my blue flame adjustable again to bend the plate. I used the holes on the fire wall in the support bracing for the brakes, just drilled through.

Re: 67 long box
Finished up as far as I can on the clutch linkage till I try it with the tranny in. Made up a template for tranny inspection cover since I can't find one. Now to transfer the template to steel and add some stiffening ribs of some kind.

Re: 67 long box
The starter plate fab is a good idea. I needed one for a project and couldn’t find the right one.....some reason I never thought of making one.

Re: 67 long box
Putting in the 0ne blocks seams strange me wanting to raise my truck but It will look better and ride better. I noticed that I never put in the bump stops so they are in mow too.

Re: 67 long box
My cover plate had too much flex so I put a bead in it old school style. Bent a piece of 1/4 round bar and beat the bead in with a hammer.
