Re: Project: Old Timer...

O yeah I also got a carrier bearing crossmember put in. Heres a couple more pics of it overall. Got a few more new parts to through in my stash from a fellow board member up north. Just a piece at a time.

I cut the rear brace out and I needed something else to go back in there... so I had this tranny crossmember that I won't be using. I cut the trans mount off and smoothed it up and it worked perfect!

very nice.....mine is a 2-3- weeks out right now but nice to see what im looking at...on my build the back was a concern because the po had already built a "notch" and i ended up going with the rear trailing arm bolt on kit from nate to match the dropmember but so when I had to remove the old notch the rear part was a concern but now seeing what im going to be putting on for the body drop all my worries are gone...thanks for putting that picture up.

Re: Project: Old Timer...

Naw man..... I haven't been able to work on it much. I've been pulling 12 to 17 hour days at work this past week and a half. Doing my job and then pulling some after hours work. I started a complete on a '90 chevy ext cab thats my dads.... so I have to get it done before I can do much to anything of mine.

I did take this weekend off and me and my little helper went out for just a little bit and installed my rack.... and we went to my grandpas to use a drill press to drill my spindles. Just couldn't use a hand drill... kept wanting to grab. I'll have to cut a little off the ends of the rack. I figured I'd wait tell it's rolling.

I bought another spotlight. Not for sure which one I'll run. I like the size of the first spot.

YES THEY ARE!......BUT, I'm still waiting on the fronts (I think there putting up a fight!). I'm sure he'll nip it in the bud pretty soon! I got the body and the bed mounts installed. Everything is nice as always!

Thanks man! As far as gas tank goes...not for sure, something out back. I'll do a raised wood bed floor so I'll have room.

I've been wanting it changed for a few years now. A wise guy once told me never use something that you can get rid of. His name was something like curious rash. I sold the '59 a long time ago. You have to have a moderator do it.

When I get my dad's truck done and the guy comes and gets his frame out of my shop. I plan on getting this frame rolling with all the sheet metal on it. Then it'll sit in the corner so I can get my silver '68 back on the road. Just jumping back and forth.

Re: Project: Old Timer...

Thanks! I'm in a little town called Elk City. It's in western OK.




Got some bad news that will postpone anything that I've got going on right now. The dealership that I work for decided to shut down the body shop over night, last Monday, so Tuesday we got the news that we have two weeks and were locking the doors. It sucks but O'well...what you going to do. After talking to real estate agents and looking at what shops/commercial property is available (what is available are junk and way to high) I decided to go to another body shop for right now and continue looking for a good place to go in on my own.

Re: Project: Old Timer...

Thanks guys! Scott I think Jasons bad news was years ago and not recent, but it still sucks. I'm not going to be in a bad position or anything. I'm going back to work with an old employer......which this will be third time I've gone back. Always seem to leave cause we don't see eye to eye on a few things, but I'm thankful he hired me back. Last time I left was on bad terms, so I didn't know how it was going to go. But thanks again and take care!
