Got the frame coated today, while the motor is out. Gonna try to drop the 350 in Wensday evening. Now I just got to buy me a shifter, and to get stuff to finish the exhaust.

nuke1 · 01-04-2009, 11:50 PM

your truck is really coming along, nothing better than four eyes, and it seems once you stat, you just never know where to finish, oh well, great deal on the engine btw. gonna keep watching, and btw, we were sandblasting the 58 cab 4 days ago and it was -44 degrees with the windchill, talk about air conditioning

mas09ts · 01-12-2009, 08:50 PM

Well the motor's in and running

**thelonerife** · 01-12-2009, 11:53 PM

Thats great. What part of Va are you from? My family is from Grundy Va.

thirdstreettito · 01-28-2009, 10:41 PM

Lookin good! What do you do for a living?

mas09ts · 01-28-2009, 10:52 PM

Well, I'm only 17 and a senior in high school, so I dont do this for a living. I'm still learning lol.

mas09ts · 01-28-2009, 10:57 PM

Update: Got my cowl cleaned out then I put a screen on it well (gutter guard from lowes) then primed it all.

**thelonerife** · 01-31-2009, 11:21 PM

What knida lights are you going with on the back ?

mas09ts · 01-31-2009, 11:34 PM

I'm not quite sure, but I was thinking maybe just one on each side, the ones that have the taillight and backup light together . . . maybe

mas09ts · 02-06-2009, 02:37 AM

Yay I get to do something fun tomorrow, my heater core started leaking so I'm going to swap it out. Got a new one last night for 32$, originally it was 59$, but I guess it pays to have connections at your local auto parts stores haha.

mas09ts · 02-08-2009, 10:42 PM

Well heres an update, i painted the motor, and most of everything aroung it. Pulled my steering column, changed my heater core, rebuilt my gauges. heres a few pics. more to come in the next few days when i put the auto column back in tomorrow.

dieselarmy13 · 02-08-2009, 11:30 PM

Builds lookin nice. That's one hell of an air cleaner you got there. Where did that come from?

VA72C10 · 02-09-2009, 12:34 AM

The guy that I bought the motor from, made it from scratch, its supposed to be able to have ram air.

bigblazerboy · 02-09-2009, 08:37 PM

thats a nice looking step side. i think it looks cool in primer. you have made a lot of progress on it and keep up the good work. i will be watching it

mas09ts · 02-09-2009, 09:48 PM

I almost got my auto column in tonight but it got too dark for me to see under the hood, should finish it tomorrow evening.

mas09ts · 02-21-2009, 07:41 PM

Well fixed the roof and primed it, new u joints, swsapped column, worked on some wiring, maybe in the future a coil rearend swap.

VA72C10 · 02-21-2009, 08:50 PM

You continue to make good progress on that...you'll be riding in style in no time

mas09ts · 03-03-2009, 08:55 PM

weircc · 03-03-2009, 09:09 PM

mas09ts · 03-03-2009, 09:11 PM

Hey thanks, yeah it would be great to have a garage. I plan on getting a whole lot done this weekend, its supposed to be in the upper 60's here so it should be warm. I custom made a transmission crossmember out of a monster piece of steel last weekend that needs to be bolted in, the all that I ahve to do drive it is hook the shift linkage up. Then I should be good to go for a little while, then I'll probably start on the paint.

allen123 · 03-04-2009, 12:18 AM

Awesome progress i need to kick myself into gear and get some work done on mine
