Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
Keep up the good work. I've been told the urges never go away. The 55 looks great but what a bummer on the interior tub.

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
thanks Dale! was a slow build...
welp, made another trip to the big city today, got rained out at work, and darned if my income tax refund showed up today... want to get the '55 s/cab done.... ....so i can start the '60 crewcab. picked up the '55 stepper for 25 clams, now i got an int tub to build off of for the '55 s/cab, and will use the stepper box on the '60 crewy...confusing?...yup.... was hoping to get the MPC Deserter truck ('84 GMC) for the blaze i got the other month. have a '69 and a '77 blazer, would like a square eye '80's now. but he sold his last one couple days ago. but i did pick up this un-opened silverado for $10. dont have any new chevy trucks except for one '99 silverado dawg destroyed with his tail the other yr, here i go, another crew of a modern chev out of the two.. |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
ya, really been liking the '60's cabs lately...
guy i work with gave me this today was'nt the custom truck parts pack... but a chevy stepside... pretty much just a body, no dash, motor, frame, glass, grille, bumpers, steering wheel or running gear. got 99% of what i need in the parts box, just no frame. have started with less... good timing though, only got 2 trucks left after the '60 crew |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
It's looking great so far. I like the vent window in the rear doors.

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
thanks Dale!
even though i personally think they look ugly, went with stock pillars this time have been thinking along these lines for a motor. only thing that bugs me, it's not a very "symmetrical" looking set-up, looks a little lop-sided to me... maybe a little overkill for a 4by..? either way, the plan is to bling the six up a bit did have a big set back on the int. i'm guessing i must have accidently knocked my bag of int parts off the bench into my garbage can, cause i have ripped my room apart 2wice, and found nothing, and these are'nt small parts... i tried to scab the '66's floor pan, seat and door panels onto the '60's, but as you can see, it looks like s**t, nothing matches at all, not even the seat pattern... this is a bummer, took the wind out of my sails on it....temporarily |

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
...'till today...
remember the '66 sub my wife pre-ordered the other month, well ye haw, look what showed up in the mail today here's what the rest of it looks like. a lot of the '66 truck tooling here. chrome rack is lifted right from the pickups. like the 2 piece barn doors. decals are'nt bad either, dont have to print up gauge decals for it going to build this one now, '60 crew is on hold 'till i can figure out another int. plan is to get rid of the glass and turn it into a 4x4 panel sub |
