What did you do to your truck today? - Page 192 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was under the impression that they had that extra hole in front of the
mount. That doesn't mean it was ever mounted there. Thats if my memory serves me right from browsing the forum!

Dang!

I have been working so much lately I haven't spent much time on the truck. My 11 year finally spoke up tonight and said "Please tell me we are working on the truck this weekend!"

Can't say no to that!

Finally got my truck home after it caught on fire 4 months ago. I have a bunch of new goodies waiting to go in.

Looks like most of the fire was at the back of the engine and firewall. I even had flames shooting up through the floor shifter. I think it was all the oil and trans fluid everywhere and I smelt oil just before it happened. It sucks but gave me a good excuse to buy a new motor and interior. Still dont know if im keeping the th350 or going to a 700r4.

mud.man.rj · 05-19-2012, 12:21 AM

Man sad fire but glad your fixin it, nice to save it, I would go for the 700r4, why not have a lower first and also 4th for mileage.

I picked up a set of buddy buckets from a forum member last month and just got my seats back today.

Man those look awesome!!

dantimdad · 05-19-2012, 08:52 PM

Got the whole front clip disassembled and pressure washed.

Removed a bunch of the paint off the inner fenders and started welding up two holes in the passenger side one.

Then, I pressure washed the frame and engine.

Next up, taking the inner fenders and some other parts to have the rest of the paint and lousy undercoating job blasted off.

Bad news is the core support is really in bad shape.

As it turns out, there are only about three panels on the whole truck that won't need rust repair.

I finally pulled out the truck from its resting place and cleaned it up. Now I just have to get the 235hp inline 6 to work. Trying to keep it stock.

1enick72 · 05-20-2012, 12:55 AM

Replaced ball joints, tie rod ends, shocks, installed drop spindles, drop springs and added disc brakes. Tomorrow will be master cylinder, booster, lines, sway bar, rear drop springs, blocks and shocks.

Ta2Don · 05-20-2012, 06:58 PM

In 90 plus heat and sunshine, with help from a friend and another friend's Snap-On Electric Impact, we were able to procure the front x-member and all steering components as well as the Rear-End which we'll adapt for the 1965 to 5 lugs and power disc rakes up front...

chevyguys · 05-20-2012, 10:49 PM

Finished the dash today. Rebuilt the A/C vent assembly, mounted the ashtray and the flarestat. Almost done....
