I was to lazy to go get it. Those are cell phone pics. I'll do beter next time.

jason65 · 02-27-2010, 07:14 PM

Got some more done today. I used the Canon just for you Dennis.

Strodder · 02-27-2010, 07:55 PM

Much better Jason. Thanks. Boy, you have a lot of cleaning to do.

jason65 · 02-28-2010, 04:46 PM

Pulled the 64 onto the concrete and gave it a good bath. Got all the funk off of it so that it will be easier to work on. I'm going to go ahead and repair the rust. Since most of the rust is on the bottom half I think I'm going to use bedliner on it to make it a little tuffer and stop future rust.

The badges say it's a 65 but it is a 64. I havent decided weather I'll take them off and leave them off or put 64 badges on it.

daverod · 02-28-2010, 04:54 PM

How much did that one cost? Looks to be in good shape. Your going to need a bigger shop.

jason65 · 02-28-2010, 08:22 PM

I do need a bigger shop. Should have gone 30'x50' intead of 30'x30'. But it's all good. When the 64 is done it probaly wont fit threw the door any way. "note to self. Put the small tires on before pulling out of shop and stay out of parking gerages." It's a P.O.S. I'll have to rewire the whole thing and probaly tweek with the motor a bit. But rewireing these trucks is easy. I have a better loom in the shop for it. The 64 now is like the 65 was before I fixed it.

You don't need no stinken badges.

jchav62 · 03-01-2010, 10:53 AM

Nice progress Jay. I vote for putting on '64' badges on the fender...

MacAttack · 03-01-2010, 12:14 PM

Yep - have to agree with the fine arts critic from Hesperia, CA.

Good pics - and Man, you've got your work cut out for you!

Mac.

jason65 · 03-01-2010, 02:03 PM

I know. I was going to just put it together and have my work/play truck. But I'm getting caught up in the old 1/2 ton axles are ok but 1 tons are better. That smoking 350 will work but that 400 would be better. 2'' lift is ok but 5" is better. 31" tires are ok but 35s are better. It's tuff to keep it simple.

Strodder · 03-01-2010, 10:49 PM

The higher you go the more it cost. It depends on your funds.

4dranch · 03-02-2010, 12:19 AM

You will always have a small shop, no matter how big it is. That's just the way it is..
I got a set of fender emblems for you they came with that fendor I picked up, I beleive there 64's come pick em up.

jason65 · 03-02-2010, 09:15 AM

If I could I'd be there tonight. I'll check the calender and we will see what happens.

low900rr · 03-03-2010, 01:20 PM

did you sell that big window rear glass yet?? I need one. Nice project, im sure itll turn out just as sweet as your other one did.

jason65 · 03-12-2010, 09:09 AM

4dranch sent me some 64 badges this week. I forgot to taks pics but there in the media tumbler getting some love. David, you da man! Thanks dude.

4dranch · 03-12-2010, 10:34 AM

No problem Jason.
Here is the donor fender

ruffrida2005 · 03-12-2010, 10:44 AM

How about someone send me a donor Cab.

Jason get to work on this thing need to see some work done.

jason65 · 03-12-2010, 11:34 AM

Your such a harda$$.

I got the front clip and bed off. Hope to have the cab and motor out this weekend. I got my eye on a welder so I can do some body work. No more bodyshop B.S. for me. Plan on haveing the welder this month.

jason65 · 03-14-2010, 07:14 PM

Got more done today. The cab is a P.O.S. I got a lot of work ahead of me. The motor is nasty. But I'll let the machine shop deal with that beast. They can clean it up. The 64 bed is just sittin there. I'm going to cut out the bottom of the 84 bed and weld it to the 64 bed befor I line it all up and mount it.

ruffrida2005 · 03-14-2010, 08:04 PM

Hey Jason get me a job working with you. And I'll bring my truck up there and help you out in the shop. Oh and I'll bring my welder too. Or you can just adopt me. I know your not a OU fan so that will work with me cuz I'm wearing a UT shirt right now.

jason65 · 03-15-2010, 10:33 AM

Come on up. I could use some help working on the buses, moveing cabs around, etc. Bring lots of Shiner.

jchav62 · 03-15-2010, 12:43 PM
