Pirior to starting a project, big or small, I make a detailed list of my goals and prepare a conservative estimate of the costs of each item.

In the end, this game plan will keep you on course and give you a sense of accomplishment along the way. Good luck to you and your father on this project and remember to post early and often, especially photos.

Thanks for the advice. I will post asap.

I think the exterior is perfect... Esp is you want to build a rat/shop truck... Although I may be a little biased! Lol. Lower it,letter it, weld up the floors and rock it... This way if you decide to make it nice you can collect parts while still enjoying it... Go in to my profile and check out the pics of mine... Might be a little inspiration.. Keep us posted..

It’s been a while since I have updated, but I have been busy! I have the truck at home. Its running good I replaced hoses, h20 pump, fuel pump and, have sand blasted and painted a lot of brackets.

I have a couple of questions to ask.
1. Gas Tanks, I plan to make a low rider out of it and thought about putting a under the bed mount gas tank. Good or Bad idea?
2. Disk Breaks, I’m looking at buying a 79 Silverado SWB to get the conversion off of it. I don’t think the master cylinder will work on my 64, it looks too big. If you have done this swap and have any tips or must do’s please let me know.

Here are some pics before I cleaned it up.

Ill put more up tomorrow

blue64 · 04-22-2009, 10:00 PM

The typical Blazer tanks hang down kind of low. I'd say it depends how low you're going to go.

I have a bracket that will help with the power brakes. The link is in my sig.

It’s been a while since I up dated. I have been saving up money to but the 73 Silverado I just bought for the disk conversion and power steering conversing. Today my dad and I just started pulling it apart. We didn’t get far because of the rain and lack of day light.

The 73

My 64

Took out the old grill.

The newer grill my dad’s friend gave to me.

Thanks for the motivation.

We got the rear end out from under the 73 tonight. And my brother just told me that he found a rear end out of an impala police car that would bolt up so I would have all wheal disk breaks.
