Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Hello folks. I've been a member for a while, though not very active. I had a 70 short-step for a while but was more project than I could handle at the time. Sold it off a few years ago. I picked this one up today. It's a '64 long bed, straight six, 3 on the column....not too much of a "project", but couldn't pass it up for the price.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
The heater is the stock 60-63 economy recirculating model. I found it on Ebay after going through a couple of street rod heaters and a factory deluxe fresh air heater that constantly smelled like antifreeze. The original heater motor was tired so I swapped the motor to one from a Fiero. These are newer, work better, move more air and in the Fiero they are mounted in the trunk so anything you get from a wrecking yard is very clean.
Essentially it's the inside portion of the deluxe heater and it works great up in the frozen north without all the clutter in the engine compartment. The 2nd pic shows the Fiero motor looking through the glove box door. The object in the middle is the cruise control module. URL=http://img352.imageshack.us/i/heater02.jpg/][/URL] On true tufted upholstery, it's actually one piece of material which is pierced with covered buttons and the material is folded into pleats. The buttons are prong type bent over the back and the edges are stapled. I'll post a tip thread shortly showing the details of how it's done. The trickiest part is arriving at the correct allowance for how much bigger the cover is than the button pattern on the backing. For backing I used 3/16" ABS plastic although some use 1/4" plywood. Following are a couple of shots of the assembly process: |

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
I found pics of it either here or on ebay about a year ago... looks like it did change hands, because the door is painted, and the step ladder is gone.
the original guy used it for his touring rig for his one man bluegrass band.... |

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Looks like something is missing from the truck. Oh wait I see it now. No taste.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Man I can really appreciate the work you put into your truck. The pictures show a radical contrast from a stock truck. Nice job. If I didn't say it before. Where in the world did you get the idea to use the combination from these cars?

well the first thing was creative customs "pink freak" (the truck in my avatar) so I went to the salvage yard in search of parts to do my own clone of that truck... they didn't have anything similar, but they did have a 61 plymouth.. just from a Quick visual in the yard, it looked like the cowl panel would match up with the plymouth fender. I like the look of the plymouth front end...but the rest of the car not so much, its like they had 3 different guys style it, and they were not allowed to talk to each other the rest of the truck kinda came together out of necessity or from the parts I had.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Not bad Martin. Put some bands on them and you will be set.
One question though...............You aren't calling that a 64 are you ? Just wandering since the emblem is a 65. |
