Thanks guys, will your PG linkage not rotate up anymore. If it won't you may have to drop the pan and pull it out and reposition it. I think the kickdown linkage won't be long enough where its at , but I am not a powerslide expert.

thks for the responds, it was rebuilt by a friend of a friend, when I sent it out it wasn't in that spot so when I got it back I didn't think twice bout it, and it sat for a few months til I installed it last month. the rod is long enough but when the rod is attached, the automatic gear lever part will hit the rod and wont fully engage into park, I was thinking I needed to go into the trans, I got a PG rebuild video online. ps wish me luck im not afraid,just don't wanna spend good cash after such a crazy long build having someone fix my messup. thks again...

With my neighbor's help we flipped the cab back upright. I spent a few more hours on a grinder, hung a door to make sure everything would fit for final rocker panel welding. I just have to POR15 all the inner rocker stuff and weld them up.

There should be a rubber grommet, this was an auto truck also.

NEWFISHER · 10-26-2013, 11:19 PM

Pull the sheets!

Slammed66 · 10-27-2013, 12:35 AM

Wow great build!!

Your attention to detail is outstanding!!

I met you in Portland this spring at the swap meet. , regardless. Keep it up!!!!

LT1 Burb · 10-27-2013, 02:20 AM

Thanks slammed, I had to put it away John, it was getting covered in dust.

LT1 Burb · 10-27-2013, 10:10 PM

Woohoo, after probably 200 hours of labor my floors are finally finished and ready for paint.

LT1 Burb · 10-27-2013, 10:16 PM

Now onto the next hack job, I wonder if people realize how many hours it will take to fix stuff like this in the future.

Woohoo! Nice work. When will the paint fly?

If you're referring to those who hacked, I'm sure they could care less!

Glad mine wasn't hacked much, but I do have at least one questionable "modification."

LT1 Burb · 10-28-2013, 01:14 AM

Paint won't fly until the speaker holes are fixed, then block out back panel and prime.

NEWFISHER · 10-28-2013, 01:24 AM

Its looking good! One small area at a time, at least there aren't any 6x9s cut into the doors too!

1966burb · 10-28-2013, 01:42 AM

WOW. Great job. Any chance of a picture of the rear power steering pump bracket that goes from the rear of the pump to the motor mount?

Here ya go.

LT1 Burb · 10-28-2013, 09:31 PM

Had a half hour before dinner so knocked this out, Cut the hole, templated it and got it welded in.

1966burb · 10-28-2013, 10:41 PM

Thanks for the bracket pic!! So is that bolt a special bolt with a stud coming out of the end of it? Is the lower bolt the same way?

1966burb · 10-29-2013, 11:40 AM

Thanks. Jim

LT1 Burb · 11-03-2013, 05:42 PM

Worked on trying to pull a dent from the back of my cab but it wouldn't come out. I tried and finally cut it out and welded in a new piece. It took me awhile to heat and cool and shrink an stretch the area to get it straight as I could not get behind it to dolly it but finally got it fairly close.

LT1 Burb · 11-03-2013, 05:43 PM

Just laying some mud on it now and hopefully it will disappear.

NEWFISHER · 11-03-2013, 06:04 PM

Your like a metal magician

Awesome

**pdxhall** · 11-03-2013, 11:38 PM

Very nice work!!

LT1 Burb · 11-05-2013, 11:58 PM

Still doing bodywork, as I will be for a few months. Skim coated the back after using my stud gun to pull some small dents and it actually is very flat when I put a 6' level across it. It looked like the ocean before, I guess the bed of this truck was well used.

LT1 Burb · 11-30-2013, 09:05 PM

Well, after spending 8 hours trying to fix my roof and stop the oil canning I said screw it. Time for a re-skin, I think it might be easier.

Trsmotrhed · 11-30-2013, 09:28 PM

Looking good. Be careful welding the roof back because you can't get behind it to work with a dolly and hammer.

NEWFISHER · 12-10-2013, 12:23 AM

That's going to sound so solid. If I find a nest, ill send it to you to ad to your collection lol, that's crazy!
