And even more. Can't just hit the rust, you've got to attack where it started.

Good luck with that. Good progress.

drogers · 02-25-2009, 11:52 PM

Almost caught up. New wiring harness, gauges, and a brake shoe rebuild.

jason65 · 02-25-2009, 11:54 PM

You been storeing up pics on us?

drogers · 02-25-2009, 11:55 PM

A power wash, new seats, and a look at that i6.

Otsa580 · 02-26-2009, 12:01 AM

Resell red.....only had one like that and sold it after about a week.

Nice progress.........I'm subscribed!

drogers · 02-26-2009, 12:01 AM

We're almost up todate,

drogers · 02-26-2009, 12:03 AM

Ok, we are finally caught up. Last picture is of the new 350...

jason65 · 02-26-2009, 12:05 AM

That's it? That"s all ya got? Your a pic postin machine.

protrash64 · 02-26-2009, 12:07 AM

Awesome.....way to jump in with both feet.

These trucks are beautiful in their simplicity.

I recommend the 700r4 if youre planning on doing major cruising.

Sorry for the time warp, I wanted to get to where I'm currently at in my build. I'll keep everything updated going forward.

wish I had one! I quit in Nov, and this is where I spend my money now.

Alan's Classic · 02-26-2009, 12:36 AM

Nice progress!!! Are you using flux core wire or an argon/CO2 mix?

kizer · 02-26-2009, 02:34 AM

Wow I thought I was in a time machine. Thanks for the trip and no problem holding back the photos because its nice to see somebody else taking on the same things I'm going to have to do later.

TimE · 02-26-2009, 10:09 AM

I was really starting to feel like a slacker looking at the floor replacement pics until I read that you were getting us "up to date" on your build. I feel better now.

Nice work, keep us posted and keep the pics coming!

MacAttack · 02-26-2009, 11:07 AM

Welcome from the ‘Left Coast.’

Your truck looks like it is coming right along and it may indeed be a "Money Pit", but fair warning regarding the subject and the appetite (of some) around here for photos - that’s a "Bottomless Pit."

Mac.

It's flux core wire.

drogers · 03-02-2009, 09:04 PM

More Progress, got the engine out, received new bushing for the cab and got them replaced this weekend. Hoping this week and weekend is nice so that I can get the engine compartment cleaned, some hole patched up, and repainted.

drogers · 03-02-2009, 09:07 PM

Do I need to replace the engine mounts on the frame? I'm replacing a 230 with a '71 350? Thanks

i believe you have to change the mounts, but the "trees" on the frame will work

Strodder · 03-02-2009, 11:35 PM

Just open your wallet, and dump the $$$$ out. Nice start.

drogers · 03-06-2009, 03:57 PM

With the nice weather I was able to get some cleaning done on the truck. Grind down the firewall and pathed a few hole. Not the best job in the world but I think it will do.
