FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-30-2007, 11:23 PM

Got the taillights comming hopefully they will be here sometime this week.... Heres a few pics from this weekend I think I have about 20 hours in this weekend........I resealed all the cab seams and started on the hacked up passenger side fresh air vent. Not sure what the previous owner did here but I managed to cut out a piece froma donor cab for $20..... Lots of welding and grinding involved...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-30-2007, 11:28 PM

More progress of the fresh air vents almost done...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-30-2007, 11:35 PM

Heres a few pics of what I scored at the yard left and right kick plates 40$ one tranny hump $25 as you can see the one on the right is hacked up pretty good. I also got the drivers side vent cover. I welded up the 4 speed hole. Also snapped a pic of the finished drivers side kick pannel.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-30-2007, 11:59 PM

Got the passengerside door primed and hung,I only did the inside and jamb areas as the outside is gonna need some serious work....

FRENCHBLUE72 · 10-01-2007, 12:01 AM

Last of the pics for tonight.....

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-21-2007, 10:50 AM

Im off all week so tons of progress should be had..... Finally..

my67chevytruck · 11-21-2007, 12:08 PM

Great Score.. Keep up the good work. Your hard work will payoff in the end.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-23-2007, 01:20 PM

Well yesterday was like takeing a few steps back. I fired up the compressor and blew the hose so I had to fix that.. Cleaned the shop up and busted out the sawz all so that I could cut out a small section where the driveshaft was rubbing when you hit a bump. Dropped out the driveshaft and proceded to notch crossmember and they it happened I see fluid and think wtf did I cut gas ? brake line so I stop the saw and run for a bucket. Turns out the brake line runs accross the crossmember and it was so dirty I did not see it. Then I proceded to pop off the diff cover to change out the rear fluid and check to see if there really was a posi back there???? guess what no posi not really a big deal but I hate liars... So I get the rear end buttoned up and put the drive shaft back in and fire her up gonna move her out so I can take some pics she runs great and the after getting warmed up she dies crap.... So I check out everything and damned if shes not outta gas so into town I go... Hopefully today will be more productive... wish me luck..

Frizzle Fry · 11-23-2007, 01:51 PM

Work through that $h!t and don't let anything stop you. We've all had days like that, or worse. That truck is going to be so nice and I'm seriously jealous!

corn · 11-24-2007, 04:00 PM

Sweet project!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-26-2007, 11:07 AM

Got all the door hardware out of the packages and lined for right and left doors. I got the father-in law over to help with shooeting the primer

thats a first for him and he did pretty well. He also shoot primer on the inner cab repairs and then he started feeling funny I told him to wear the mask..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-26-2007, 11:16 AM

I got all the door hardware installed and now both doors open and close and you dont have to use a screw driver

The new door strikers are in and what a pain in the azz they were to align.

to who ever took it apart you made me

Also anyone know where these bumpers may go?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-26-2007, 11:29 AM

Got the glove box door and lock installed and found a cardboard glove box that I am pretty sure is wrong. I also got the guages working and the guage lights to work

The best I can say about the wireing is

from the radio shackon the wrong end of town today its gonna say

as I got some wireing stuff from some other projects that I can use..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-26-2007, 11:35 AM

Heres a pic of the new wireing fuse box that is going in. I also got the sandblaster to work and blaster a headlight bucket and a plate the bolts to the passengerside kick pannel. I also got the fuel filler picked out and ready to install as soon as the rear tank kit gets here.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-26-2007, 11:41 AM

Headlight bucket installed and newly powdercoated plate. I also manages to get the headlights and parking lights to work off the old harness anyways ...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-26-2007, 11:45 AM

Can anyone tell me what these holes along the back of the cab floor are for? And I found this know hideing under the dash I know it goes to the wipers but it looks to be a cable of some sort any ideas?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-26-2007, 11:50 AM

I also got the fubared hole in the floor welded up and the new tranny cover installed. Also I need to come up with a cover for the master cylinder, I think I m also gonna have the shifter cable come up through this hole.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-26-2007, 11:54 AM

I got the power seats mocked up and the brake line that I cut fixed.... Now back to the shop I go...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-27-2007, 10:10 AM

Working on wireing today.....yep you guess it ..it sucks..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-24-2007, 07:55 AM

The wireing on this trucks sucks so im gonna have to order a kit for it.. But heres what we have done in the past few days.. Replaced the tilt harness and installed the b@m shifter..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-24-2007, 08:08 AM

Got the door hung and primed and thats about it...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-24-2007, 08:14 AM

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-01-2008, 04:37 AM

Got a few things done today I repaied some of the rust on the lower door hinge pocket cover. I got the headlight bucket glass beaded and powder coated black. My new chrome headlight rings came in also but I need a headlight adjusting screw. The guy at auto zone just glazed over when I asked him about the plastic tabs for a 56 chevy headlight adjuster.
