thanks jmorales, I started this project before me and my wife got married!! I do enjoy every second with the wife and kids, I know the truck wont get mad at me for letting life get in the way!! but if I let the truck get in the way of the wife, well that's a different story, lol!!

heres the bed sides, passenger side stripped down 1/2" bondo on the lower part that had rust and a big dent in it! I have longbed sides i'll cut my patches from!! the driver side is in a lil better shape don't have bondo covering rust on it, but did have 7 dents 6 look like it had side trim on it before!! in the second picture where the white hasn't been stripped down yet is were the rust and dent are at!! but anyways this is what ive been doing, progress might be slow but atleast it something, right!!!!

[Ta2Don]

Lookin' Good!!!

[flips72]

it seems to always be the passenger side, maybe the small back glass and tiny mirrors are at fault. looks as though you have it all under control though, cab turned out awesome by the way.

this last weekend after meeting up with coulter I got my motor pulled and torn down and some what but back together! the last picture is what I took off and out of the motor! next weekend i'll finish putting it back together and repaint the transmission, heres a few pictures!

[chad64chevy]

230 views/ no comments, wow!

anyways

I have my motor at my buddys shop and after I had to work half a day Friday, this is the motor as of now! broke two bolts off on the oil pan, got mad an changed all the oil pan bolts out! 3 power steering bolts where to long, it was a long day of modifying/ changing bolts out! im glad I got a small tool box full of grade 8 bolts in all sizes and lengths that I would need for this truck!

i'll get the transmission cleaned and painted today!! then put them together and put them back in my truck tomorrow!!

[RANDY COX]

WOW AWESOME BUILD. This is what keeps me motivated, Good work.

[McMurphy]

Ok I am envious... your motor looks nicer than mine !!

[Jmorales3181]

Wow....wish my motor looked like that!

[Modges'66]

Looks sweet Chad!
But will it run as good as it looks?
I can't wait to see smokey burnouts!

[Alan's Classic]

Engine is looking good.

[BOXER957]

Just caught up on your build Chad, took a while(23 pages). You're really doing a great job, keep up the good work! Truck is really coming out great! I know how hard it is to try to keep the motivation going especially when life keeps getting involved, but amid all obstacles you're doing it, keep at it! You'll get there!

[coulter]

that engine turned out killer man!!! i guess old oil pan bolts like to break easy cause a couple of mine broke too

thanks coulter, they weren't old bolts they had studs and the lugnut things but broke off flush at the top of the oil pan, good thing I had the thick one-piece oil pan gasket!
