60 dodge truck

[pugs]

the fenders have the top bracket spot welded to them, but i noticed on your cab you have an L shaped bracket on your cab below the top hinges. there is a placement on you fender it takes i believe a 1/4 or 5/16 fine thread which will allow you to bolt up the fenders. i will get a pic for ya today tho

[pugs]

rad couple of pics for ya

top fender bracket



bolt by top door hinge

so i'll have to drill a hole in the cowl for the top of the fender. what do you have to mount the bottom of the fender?

thanks

[pugs]

now on my 60 i have a braket thats welded to my cab which i wil have to remake when i get the 57 cab, but if you look on the bottom of your fender you should see a couple of holes where the bolts went thu.

sure do you want inside the door or in front of the door?

[pugs]

no just the jam will be fine, im wandering if it the same as the 57 cab i want to pick up

messing with the truck today finally after having to mess with the stoker to keep heat in the house. today i wanted to mock up the steering and column, i had a non shift column out of an olds calias i had laying around and with some other stock gm steering joint i managed to get together, (now i have a few mods to do yet) but at this point it turns the wheels just fine without any binding of the joints. i do have a sb chevy/5spd trans in it just for mockup so i have something sitting there to roughly to see what will have to be done as far as m/t (not sure what im going to use yet)

here you go sorry it took so long

[pugs]

ok yous is the same as mine. any progess on the chop yet?

[R.A.D]

kind of on hold in the middle of a move, then i have to set up shop again. did you get the other cab?

[pugs]

no didnt get the other cab yet. so im working on the chassis and jag setup as of now. still looking into m/t seups yet. going to go look at a 225 slant 6 tomorrow and maybe a ford 300 inline. since the cabs are about the same i can get the chassis setup and done in the meantime

[R.A.D]

how about the new hemi?

[pugs]

heck this is a low budget build, very very low .

[pugs]

fingers crossed, going to look at a 79 dodge 360 somtime today

[R.A.D]

360 would work good luck

[pugs]

my buddy and i went to ck out the 360 this afternoon i snagged it for $75.00 the guy needed it out of his garage. afterwards we stopped by his uncle's place and he gave me an empty trans case to use for mockup and a set of stock manifolds off a 2000 dodge truck which exit at the back of the motor, not totally sure if they will bolt up, but sure look like they will. anyways i will have pics tomorow

[R.A.D]

looking forward to it

[pugs]

got the motor mounted up today and made up shock mounts, we been having puter problems and had to reboot, so we dont have all programs back up and running yet so cant post pics as of now

[R.A.D]

it's been kind of quiet here......

[pugs]

yea not alot going on the past week since i got the motor mounted up. i am going to rework the mounts some as dont like the looks of them and i need to tweak the motor over about 1/2 just to give alittle extra wiggle room for the exhaust. the past 2 days i been working on getting the shop cleaned up allitle, somewhat organized and most of my tools atleast in the tool box.
any progess with you at all?

[pugs]

oh yea and my freakin puter is still messed up as i cant download pics

[R.A.D]

still feeling the aftermath of of my move
