Thanks, I looked in your site I don't think I've seen your truck before. I have a Harley myself its a V-Rod.

Here are a few more pics of the truck, I just got the wheels but I don't like the tires they are too small.

hotrod 80 · 01-23-2008, 03:55 PM

faribran · 01-24-2008, 12:25 PM

one nice truck... i like the steps you are taking.... keep up the progress and keep the pics coming..

franky69c10 · 01-24-2008, 01:09 PM

looks real good.

JCA1972 · 01-24-2008, 01:43 PM

Thanks for the kind words guys, my plan is to have it painted before summer. I changed my mind about the color, I think I will go with the candy apple red instead of the sunburst orange.

JCA1972 · 02-21-2008, 10:56 AM

Well I have been a little busy this last week, I painted the fire wall flat black, I removed the ram horn exhaust manifolds and I installed a Chrome oil pan, oh yeah I also cleaned up the engine a little bit I stlill have a little more to do.

The pulleys look yellow but they are chevy orange, I decided to paint the edelbrock intake to make it look more stock. Can you see the diferrence in my suspension?

here are the headers I got, I will have to do a little modification to re route the pipes, I will also need a mini starter.

here is a pick of the chrome oil pan, I got a great surprise when I removed the old oil pan, my engine is a 4 bolt main.

and here is a pick of my new tank from Mark, that won't go in for a few more weeks.

JCA1972 · 04-01-2008, 09:36 PM

Ok I got the headers installed, and I bought a new radiator core support and battery tray. I also got a Chrome mini starter.
here are a few pics.

Next on the list is to turn the truck around to work on the drivers side suspension and get the feul tank installed.

Oh yeah I have a new distributor and wires coming in next week.

AGRV8D · 04-01-2008, 09:40 PM

Thanks, what happened with the bike are you ok?

JCA1972 · 04-16-2008, 04:07 AM

I pushed it out today and cranked it up for the first time in 2 years, it sounded great.

JCA1972 · 04-27-2008, 04:37 AM

I finished up the driver side suspension, here are a few pics

I got a new distributor with a clear cap and rotor.

JCA1972 · 05-10-2008, 05:03 AM

I took off the bed today, I will clean up the bottom of the bed and put some bedliner on it. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

JCA1972 · 05-20-2008, 06:48 AM

Here is a pic of the bed with rubberized under coating on it.

I started painting the rear chasis and got the fuel tk installed.

I started the side marker fuel door install. this is a fuel door from a 97 S-10 cut out to fit the side marker.

Here is the hole that I cut on the inside of the bed for the install.

I had to add a 1/2"" of shimms to the door hinge and then a 1/4" shim to make up for the inside lip on the marker light cut out.

I drilled 2 holes on the side of the bed to hold the fuel door/side marker in place for welding.

JCA1972 · 05-20-2008, 06:52 AM

Here are a few more pics

JCA1972 · 06-11-2008, 11:29 PM

Ok I finished the fuel filler install.

I did exactly one S load of tacks on the cover and then I sealed it with POR-Patch and painted it with por-15

Here is a pic of the bottom of the Fuel tk and the rear end cover.

my67chevytruck · 06-12-2008, 12:37 PM

looking good

JCA1972 · 06-24-2008, 10:28 PM

Well I was getting ready to take the truck down to the Body shop for paint, but we just hit 94 degrees here in Texas and its freaking HOT. I decided to order a vintage air system so that I can have air when its all painted up. I guess it will be a couple of weeks before I have it painted.

StormRider · 06-25-2008, 01:32 AM

It's looking good Bro! It's been a year since I read your build thread. I lost track of it. Anyways, I am doing mine right now. I might have to look you up for some advice sometimes. Keep up the good work! Storm.

JCA1972 · 08-12-2008, 10:44 PM

Well just to give an update on my truck, I changed out the window regulators and the vent window gaskets, I decided not to install the AC on the truck just yet. I took the truck down to a Body shop last week and it should be all painted up in 5 to 6 weeks, I decided to go with the Torch red, I cant wait to get it back. I'll post some pics later.

Riveted1 · 08-13-2008, 12:25 AM

Lookin great! Can't wait to see it painted!

JCA1972 · 08-29-2008, 11:22 PM

The paint on the bed is done.
