project 62

[jason65]

I just so happen to have a heaterbox for your truck scott. You need?

[scotts62]

Well i got out and worked on the dash of the truck today, welded up glove box door and dash, plan on cutting out for gauges later.


This will be the setup i will be running, working on making a bracket for the york.

[Alan's Classic]

It looks like you will have plenty of room for whatever type of exhaust you want to run with the way the frame is setup. Looks nice.

What type of serpentine brackets are those? Just curious...

Hey whats up Tim,
Yea im hoping i do have enough room, would like to find someone around that did mandrel bending and i would just make my own.

They are off a '96 chevy pickup 4.3

[TimE]

You could just buy a header kit if that's the route you wanted to go. Well, actually, I guess it would be the flanges and several prebent mandrels and a collector.

That's interesting on the brackets. I had never seen that style before. Looks cool on that TPI motor.

I'm also guessing that you are upgrading the cam seeing as to how it's hanging halfway out of the motor.

[scotts62]

well that is actually a flat cam from way back and i am using it as a handle to move the block around, its actually a 305 block with just some old heads laying around im using as a mock up motor. Dont want to bang around and get the new machined ones dirty

[TimE]

Ok, I gotcha.

[scotts62]

Couple of tonights progress, made mounts for the cross sill on the bed



Roll pan

[TimE]

Looks good Scott.

You planning on custom bowtie tailights in the roll pan or is that just doodles to see if you like the look?

[scotts62]

Well i was thinking about cutting the bowties out and putting lexan behind with lights but also thinking about the 48" LED's, (not the light bar but the real ones) Or a couple 12" one each side, so im not positive on what will look good yet

[joe231]

nice man!!
did you cut the bed sides for the tanks?
you gonna mount them directly to the frame now?

[scotts62]

Thanks!!!
Yeah, working on the mounts now.

all I can say is wow! lots of skill and talent I was wonderin where you got the motor mount perches and what year they are for I can't seem to find any for a 62 converting from a 6cyl to a v8

Thank you!
They are from Classic performance products.
Motor mounts I dont know why they dont have a pic, but if you would like a better one let me know ill take one for you. I think i just had to redrill the lower hole that it bolts to to get it to fit right.

[Inverter]

You've got a real nice build there. Love this kind of chassis work. Looks like the creative gears are turnin.

I saw bird had some fleetside taillites in his fenders, which looked cool. Maybe frenched in your roll pan? Just an idea.

Nice work and glad to see more progress....looks like beerthirty.

[scotts62]

Thanks guys! Yeah well i was tossing up some ideas about using those instead of LED bars and using the fleet lights (thanks Joe) and led's either in fenders or in roll pan...hum, decisions decisions

Beerthirsty....? You see a beer can and i dont or something? You got me looking through the pics like im looking in the old wheres waldo books as a kid
