Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I appreciate the kind words... I'm just cautious because someday some of you may get to see the truck in person, the way I see it everyday. It's a good truck, don't take my self criticism wrong, but sometimes when it's ugly you gotta call it ugly.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Buck, I just got to sit down and read threw your thread, I do think you are doing a great job and I love your truck. I'm working on a small/ 0 dollar budget too so I feel your pain. I want mine to turn out as sweet as yours and alot of the other awesome rides in here, but I know it will take time, patience and ALOT of learning before I have anything I can be proud of. Keep on Rocking Bud and I do hope to see your Beautiful truck in person one day.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
i went back and i couldnt find anything on when you did your throttle pedal ?
A/C looks great but I agree.. everything looks so crammed in there. im wondering if perhaps not running all the vents would help since you wont have all that flex tubing going everywhere.. perhaps just running the outside ones and not the center vent. or not using the defrost ones.. i dunno..... i just helped a friend put in his Vintage Air system in a 72' Chevelle and it was the same thing.. seemed there was no space for anything.. and although you really cant see most if not all of it once its done,, i guess what bothers us is that we still know whats back there |

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Just don't think about it. It's all hidden back there. I've got the same thing in my 65 GTO. No room for anything, and a pain in the rear to put it all in. And thanks for the reminder...I've got to take all that out to rewire the car soon. Now I REALLY don't want to do it.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
You know what is awesome?? It's when you actually connect the main power lead to the back of the alternator. Volts were kinda low on the quick test drive.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Thanks Juan!
Here's a pic after finally getting rid of the awful one-size-fits-all metal radiator hoses. Woo Hoo!! Still have to redo the cold air intake...
