Re: Johns 66
Lookin great! Good thing your friend mentioned the calipers. It's a lot easier to fix now rather than when it's all back together

Re: Johns 66
I looked at your discs and said I should check to see if they are right, then I got sidetracked and didn't look close enough...glad you caught it now!

Also picked up power steering sector and pump from a junkyard for 25.00 and got the sector cleaned up and mounted using Capt Fabs bracket...wasnt to bad at all. Steering sector has 5686555 and 7802644 plus 341 70 stamped on it...gonna try and do some research to see what it came from.

Re: Johns 66
Well a lil progress from the past week...
Got the motor and tranny installed, as well as the driveshaft, got ole girls new shoes put on. Then I got the front A-arms bump stops put on.....NOTE TO SELF and ANYONE who reads this....it is so much easier to put the bump stops on BEFORE you assemble the front end......but it is doable once together....its just a pain that way...lol Also got my Snowden seat ordeted, started receiving parts for the stereo system. Slowly but surely coming together My lil helper Kayden said he couldnt help cause he had to work on his truck....gotta love it!!!!

Slowly but surely....Working on the pulley system now, trying to figure out what pulleys I need...Im thinking a 3 groove harmonic balancer pulley and a 2 groove water pump pulley should do it......Trying to wait until the AC stuff gets here so I can line everything up. One thing is for sure that single pulley system definitely wont work when you add power steering and AC.... If I didnt want it to look original I would have just bought a serpentine system....but.......I think it will look good once everything is in

Re: Johns 66
Lil more progress. Got the front sway bar installed with the help of my main man Kayden. He made sure everything was tight.
Decided not to put the rear sway bar in. So Ill sell it when everything is done.

Re: Johns 66
Cab is DONE!!!!
It really looks good up close. It hasnt been cut and buffed. The body shop wants to wait until I get it all back together in case I nick something....once I get her all back together they will touch up anything I mess up then cut and buff all of it.
