ohw sh.t thats bad , i hope the diff house and its inners is stil usuable
go the belt and braces route drill the boltheads holding the ringgear and twist a piece of wire through them like they do on airplanes , when you do that the correct way if ever one works loose it tightens the other bolt and cant loosen more

Kabwe · 06-06-2007, 07:48 PM

Sorry to hear that man, but it seem you have it all worked out. Its nice when things are not as bad as it seems.

Daniel U · 06-07-2007, 03:00 PM

I'm always glad to hear a happy ending to a bad story. BTW, I can't wait to see your pick up in person. PM me if you plan on a trip to the coast.

Jebb1978 · 06-07-2007, 07:04 PM

YIKES! Good to know that you and the truck will see the road again soon. It looks georgous man!

I have been checking in every few days, just not posting much since I haven't touched mine in a long while. Hopefully Sunday I will get the drivetrain bolted in.

tiggerstoy · 06-11-2007, 10:41 AM

if you ever see the man again, buy him a beer!......the truck looks awsome, great job.

Project SIKty-5 · 06-12-2007, 06:16 PM

Cal,
I just went back and looked at post #1 july 5 05, you have been a very busy and dedicated to complete this great project in 2 years.
Now that you have it on the road how do you like the 330HP engine, is it a GM crate #12486061, what is the gear ratio in the rear end??

Nice vision and a very fine ride!!!!

Thanks solidaxel! The motor is not a factory crate motor, it's a rebuilt motor. The 330Hp is not sreamin fast but it gets me in and out of traffic with no problems. The gear ratio is 3:23. At 70 mph I'm taching 2900 RPM's.

After checking out his truck in person, there's no way i couldn't vote for it.

randomhero472 · 06-26-2007, 12:40 PM

cal, incredible truck!! your doing it perfect the first time around, what a clean amazing truck.. keep us posted!!!

Kabwe · 06-26-2007, 02:18 PM

Well Cal,

When you have a truck like that a nomination is a given. It would just be wrong not to.

02snoma · 06-27-2007, 12:01 PM

You got my vote. It took a few days for my account to be activated.

What's the word on the hood???? (this is your son by the way)

I figured it was you by your user name 02SNOMA. I'm going by Dave's today and see were he's at on it. My new plate's came in, I'm going to the DMV to pick them up.

Hopefully he has started painting! I need to get a picture with the hood on it so I can get you some shirts made. Those plates are going to be "BAD"!!!

No paint yet. He has the hood in primer now and is going to start block sanding. It's looking like next week. Yep, that plate is "BAD on my "1958"

You are welcome, and by the look of the voting I am not the only one who likes your truck!

P.S. Nice to see a father and son communicating!

02snoma · 06-28-2007, 11:35 AM

Looks like the TOTM award is yours. You have 2x as many votes as the next guy. Aren't there a few local shows coming up?
