The parts fairy came by today. I ordered from Summit and the package was here the next day. That's just awesome. I sold a couple parts so I could order a few things. Many thanks for those that bought from me. ![]() I also used the cab lift today for the first time. I was going to do it by myself, but had Sdailey helping just in case. We were both amazed at how easy it made to job. Thanks to the one that thought of that idea. ![]() ![]()

Re: My 1965 build thread
Here is a pic of someone else running a cold air intake. I saw it today at the local cruise in.
I like the idea. Just afraid it's gonna clutter up my engine bay. I would try to finish it out a little better if I decided to do it. Here is a LINK to some pix I took today that was posted in the general discussion section. ![]()

Re: My 1965 build thread
Alan I wish I was as far along on my truck as you. I almost got my new SD raised crossmember in. Doing some motor work. Painting the motor what do you sugguest I prime it with. I'm gonna paint it with VHT chevy orange. Or you could just come to Texas and do it for me and fix all the metal on the cab also.
Neto you can check out Brotherstrucks.com they have all the windowtrim you need. Me personally mine dosen't have it.

Re: My 1965 build thread
What if you welded the heater box hole closed then centered a hole that size behind the carb in the same area of the cowl and made a plate to seal the carb to it.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Thanks ruffrida2005. I went ahead and put it back on after taking care of the rust as best I could. I used the rust converter and encapsulator. I used slick sand on the whole cab today. Alan that's stuff nice but needs to be thinned with a 1.8 tip. now just have to finish a few little dents and seal it.

Re: My 1965 build thread
What happened did I scare ya'll off?
![]() Got some more goodies in the mail today. The starter came from a coworker, but it don't fit. ![]() This distributor came from White Performance ![]() Got the heads torque down and the pushrods in. This engine has been on the stand for about 8 years after being ran 500 miles. I'm kind of concerned about the lifters. They are hydraulic, but will not compress. Usually while adjusting lifters I can push the rocker arm down to compress them. I didn't resoak them. I'm thinking about getting the oil pump and pan on and spin the oil pump to pressurize the engine and see if that helps. ![]()

Re: My 1965 build thread
Alan, I caught the Joekip thing early and set him packing. I just didn't get a chance to input here or back to you because of work. He definitely was a real winner.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Hey Allan, just a tip when you install the oil pump, and put the oil pick up strainer, on tack weld it on the pump. A lot of engine builders do it. I do.

I'm out in the shop working on my engine, checking this forum periodically. Thanks Dennis, I learned that several years ago. But, someone might read this that doesn't know. Thanks for watching out for me. As a matter of fact that is what I'm fixin' to do next. If I can figure this lifter issue out I'll feel better. I posted a thread in the engine section and I also have a call into my cousin. He builds some nice 406 SBC's. I figure I'll pick his brain a little.
