Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Well I wish I could say I was keeping it that color. You can see my build thread to see the truck how it was when I got it.
It was a guys truck and he owned a barber shop called Mayberry. The truck had an Andy Griffith theme complete with siren and single light up top. Oh, it was also a stepside. While def a fun truck.....we are going a different way with this truck. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
The 421 is an 8:1 compression stroked small block with good internals and aluminum heads, the Fast EFI would probably make it better on fuel than a stock carburated 400 small block ever was....That is until you start running some boost.......LOL.....So it will pass a gas station if a guy can keep his foot out of it....Why build a hot rod if you looking for fuel economy ? I guess you could take the Prius to the A&W ?......CHEAP...FAST....OR GOOD....pick two, the one left is what it won't be....! Cheers .

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Pulled the 3 speed column that I have been using on my 700R auto. I'm going use an auto column from I think a 67-68, not exactly sure what it came from. When I stand the masts side by side the auto column is about an 1 1/2 longer than the original, I'll take that out by shortening the steering shaft. It'll be nice to have 4 way flashers and a neutral safety switch.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Pushed it out the garage and then a few hours later, back in again.
Been trying to get this job done for some time. Lights in the garage for when I start doing the body prep on the truck over winter. Up to now I had two 4 foot strip lights, but early this year, Euan "Moosevan" sent me 10 used 6 footers from a school that he had renovated. So now I have been getting on with that. I have added some strips of wood to widen the rafters and wired them in today, thanks as so many times to Mickey from next door for giving an extra hand and keeping me company. Result down the one side, the two short lights will be removed and fitted elsewhere. I am also fitting four 6 footers down the other side. ![]()
