What did you do to your truck today part II. - Page 36 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I paid $50 extra for candy blue. After throwing $1000 at it what's not to do it!?! Braided lines included.

*JonnyC10* · 07-30-2014, 10:35 PM

I bought the grand slam kit with 2/4 drop as well as shock relocators and adjustable track bar.

Finished tightening my LCA shafts, drilled my brake pedal for power booster install, put in the rest of the grease fittings, bench bled MC. It's off to the hot rod guy next week for cutom brake lines and final check of the brakes and front end work. Alignment after that and then drive the hell out of it!

robber grin · 07-31-2014, 09:28 AM

Welded the 20 plus holes in my tailgate and my repaired end plates back into the gate. Then knocked everything down with a flap-disk before bolting it to the box to check the fit before I mud it up and start prepping for primer.

Need to tweek the DS bolts at the rear cross sill but otherwise looks nice on there.

Those photos look tough! Nice job.

Thanks softpatch, well I mocked up the alternator and it aligns with the crank pulley so I have a water pump pulley that is not correct. I ordered one today that is supposed to be a direct fit for the 65 283 so hopefully that will correct it.

Dillon Rock · 07-31-2014, 09:20 PM

I FOUND IT!!!! Ok a little overzealous but someone. I think it was either 1963c -10 or Markeb01 inquired about a radio I had mentioned and plan to put new tech in it. I finally found the thread so without further blabbering of me here's the radio thread. Lol.

Well got the drive train back in. Installed the exhaust, mounted carb, alternator, distributor and wires. Still waiting on brackets for the spark plug wires so they will look better. Hopefully the water pump pulley I ordered will take care of the alignment situation. Looks like I can not put the body work off any longer........

Dillon Rock · 08-01-2014, 03:56 PM

Went to get that winch bumper today and they wanted 100 for the bumper and 300 for the winch!! It was a Braden pto winch and the actuating lever was sized so I said to hell with it and got that power booster with linkage/bracketry off that GMC suburban.

Man, that looks great. I feel like I want to just pull the body off to do all of my work now. Looks so much easier.

Ronw435 · 08-02-2014, 07:12 AM

Thanks AngryPirate. I do believe it is easier when everything is out of the way.

*JonnyC10* · 08-02-2014, 06:32 PM

Picked up some wheels last night for dirt cheap. Need to know what I will need for spacers and what not to make them fit.

steveb64 · 08-03-2014, 09:35 AM

Took some video of my rear suspension in action. Porterbuilt Stage II c-notch and all.

And the front suspension video.

picked up my second NOS battery this one is for the burban

Dillon Rock · 08-05-2014, 02:55 AM

Scored on a toolbox for my truck today for $25. Couldn't pass that up for a non diamond plate box. Seems all that's out there nowadays. I know it's oddball but I've got a friend who can trim it right to fit my truck.

I found both of your videos interesting and enjoyable. Thanks for posting.

*JonnyC10* · 08-06-2014, 12:57 AM

Oh, not much. Just a Grand Slam kit.

LVPhotos · 08-06-2014, 02:21 PM

In Iowa I found these. The black 1962 was on top! The 64 is a pair and the car 63. They got more as well. Had a explosive box but no way of getting it home.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 08-08-2014, 07:35 PM

Hooked up my battery cut off switch and speedo sensor.

**Palf70Step** · 08-09-2014, 08:56 PM

Finally got my new (used) Saginaw in the truck. I have never had one soooo cantankerous. Had to temporarily remove the emergency brake cross member to have room to jungle the tranny in. Few more things to clean and button up underneath and the ole 64 should be mobile again. Right now, rest. IT feels like someone beat my arms and shoulders with a ball bat. These trannys felt a lot lighter 40 years ago.

*JonnyC10* · 08-09-2014, 09:21 PM

Started doing my power disc brake/lowering kit install today. Got the master cylinder removed. Brake line fittings on the prop valve are being a bitsh. Got them soaking in pb.

cab_01 · 08-10-2014, 11:17 AM

Got the rear axles back in after having them drilled 5x5. Now I need to take another measurement for the rims. I really wanted to put 10" rims back there but it looks like it will be to close to the fender.

Next week is the wiring harness install.

You'd be amazed how easy putting a torch to those for a little bit makes removing them. I never had a torch until a few months ago, and was having issues with this as well. Heat it, comes right off with no problem.
