I drove the donor truck today to try out the engine and it ran great with a lot of power.It has great oil pressure and no smoke. I am going to start pulling it maybe tomorrow.

Sweet, really enjoying reading about and seeing the progress you are making...

**65truckowner** · 11-22-2012, 06:47 PM

Here is a picture of the engine, I pulled the valve cover and it looked super clean and it had roller rockers

**65truckowner** · 12-05-2012, 07:39 PM

Here is some more progress on the truck. I have the rearend done with new seals, bearings,brakes. I painted the shocks and brake lines, and replaced the rubber line. I also have one rocker installed and one to go.

Ta2Don · 12-21-2012, 10:39 PM

Loving the progress, what paint did you use for the frame? Merry CHRISTmas!!!

**65truckowner** · 12-21-2012, 11:29 PM

The paint is some I picked up at the parts store used for tractors and tractor parts like blades and bushogs. It is very sticky and covers well and is very durable.

**65truckowner** · 01-16-2013, 09:26 PM

No pictures yet but I do have the engine cleaned up and ready for paint and am planning on working on the bell housing and transmission tomorrow. Once painted I will install them in the truck and get some pictures.

Ta2Don · 01-17-2013, 11:05 AM
