Drove 4hrs down to Vancouver today to pick up my 60 gmc hood I bought a few months back. It's actually really straight other than one good sized ding and there's also one small rust spot. I'll get back home on the weekend and then I'll start to do some metalwork on it and probably sell the old hood

namloc · 07-23-2016, 01:59 AM

lookin good . Got the hood finally .That is going to change the look for sure.

Love the hood! Looks awesome. Kinda jealous, I would like to have one for my rig, really dig the look. I have a hood and it works, so got to direct the funds to getting her running hahaha.

Thanks Anthony, I've got a 62 hood that is really nice if you want to replace yours

62stepside longbox · 07-24-2016, 08:57 PM

Been working on putting my engine back together and cleaned and painted up the distributor and vacuum advance, it used to have a 1/4" of dirt and grease covering it.

**Palf70Step** · 07-24-2016, 09:33 PM

Nice work. Now she just needs to go back in so you can drive the ole girl.

Thanks bill, it'll be a while before it gets back in as I still need to install the new crossmember and build some motor mounts but I'm getting there

AJCK87 · 07-25-2016, 10:39 AM

Hey Nik,

Distributor looks nice. What's the plan for your motor mounts?

Thanks Anthony, I will be building something like this

**TJ's Chevy** · 07-25-2016, 06:36 PM

That'll be a nice set of motor mounts.

**Palf70Step** · 07-28-2016, 09:16 PM

Way better than the way down here, beer can and tar!

Nice job!

Thanks bill, yep sure a lot better than a beer-can mechanic's job

**TJ's Chevy** · 07-29-2016, 10:12 AM

Yep, now you'll know how it feels to put in 40 hour weeks. Plus Saturdays sometimes. lol But, I've found motivation in working a little each night. Gets me a bit closer. Looking good bud.

62stepside longbox · 08-08-2016, 01:31 PM

Been working on the truck lots lately just been lacking in updates. I removed the water pump and thermostat to clean the front of the block and then I painted it up

62stepside longbox · 08-08-2016, 01:33 PM

And then painted up the water pump, thermostat, fan, pully and harmonic balancer and got it all back together

**66ChevyMax** · 08-08-2016, 03:22 PM

Engine looks great.

**Palf70Step** · 08-08-2016, 05:48 PM

All the little details are looking good together. Now you can scare the deer with your spotlight so you don't hit them.

**TJ's Chevy** · 08-08-2016, 05:53 PM

I always say, "It don't matter what the truck looks like long as you have a perrty engine." lol Looks great man! And spot lights rock! I have been able to pick up 2 so far. One a GM and the other an S6 universal.

Thanks tj, your sure right about a Pertty engine! This spotlight is a unity s6 almost identical to the factory 60-63 spotlight, just a little earlier.

62stepside longbox · 08-10-2016, 03:03 AM

Spent some time disassembling and polishing the spotlight and boy does she ever shine now! Chrome came out way better than I ever would've thought

**Palf70Step** · 08-10-2016, 05:19 AM

Very nice.

**66ChevyMax** · 08-20-2016, 04:07 PM

Can't wait to see that thing start up, great work.
