The Doms dont have bump stops in them. The Slams do.

daverod · 03-27-2010, 05:54 PM

Got my shifter put in. Works great. Recieved my front air bags, made a home for one of them. Still have one to go.

$15 in metal and about 2 hours cutting and grinding each .

daverod · 03-27-2010, 06:15 PM

Picked up a hoist from HF, sick of renting one. Got a 8 gal tank now I need to build a floor for it.

protrash64 · 03-27-2010, 06:27 PM

Nice work on the arms. You'll like having that much air with the 8gal tank.

ruffrida2005 · 03-27-2010, 07:07 PM

I'm glad you got pics of yours in your bed. I'm trying to decide of where to put mine. Good work on the arms

daverod · 03-27-2010, 11:41 PM

Did I say 2 hours each ?

Where did the day go?

More like 8 hours for both.

protrash64 · 03-28-2010, 01:31 AM

Looks like that grinding disc has seen at least 8 hours of work...

bubba327 · 03-28-2010, 11:43 AM

Looking good! That will be a thrill just to blow up the bags and watch your truck go up and down...up and down... up and down... up and down... up and down...
the day is coming soon!

Stop it I'm getting sick!

watahyahknow · 03-28-2010, 12:55 PM

think i need to mound some bags to the bedposts , will make life a lot eazier

daverod · 03-28-2010, 02:52 PM

I ordered the top mounts for the bags from SD. I was going to make them but the ones from SD were cheap and easy.

I need to get some smaller tires for the front. The ones I have on there now are huge. They hit the cab.

?I'm not sure what to do about engine mounts? I'm putting a 350 in it and I don't know if the stock 283 mounts will work? I think I have to move the engine forward so my dizzy will fit?

ruffrida2005 · 03-29-2010, 12:39 AM

all gen 1 chevy blocks are the same size and mount the same, My truck was a 283 and was swaped with a 350. I think it was mounted on the back holes, and my buddy dented the fire wall in to clear the valve covers when he owned the truck.

daverod · 03-30-2010, 08:11 PM

Painted the side of my 64 with some rattle can. Tried to make it look somwhat old. I'll paint the truck next year for real. I just want to get all the metel work done and still be able to drive it. Bought a metal floor for my air tank, still need to get stuff mounted.

Weather here was sucking made me happy I had a heated garage.

bubba327 · 03-31-2010, 11:39 PM

It is snowing here again Dave-- And April fools day is tomorrow. We all need to be careful.
your garage has more room when your sled is not in the way.

daverod · 03-31-2010, 11:42 PM

I just put my sled up for the year and got my dirt bike running. Maybe I should have waited a couple more weeks.

Spent the day cleaning stuff and learning about how to fill air bags. Snowmachine hill climbs at Pebble creek this weekend. Always a good time.

jason65 · 04-01-2010, 12:44 PM

Looking good Dave.

daverod · 04-02-2010, 04:08 PM

Took the pup for a ride to the getto. Took some pictures. Damn graffiti busters are making it hard to find any good spots.

Did a good burn out. Got stuck in a pot hole

bubba327 · 04-02-2010, 06:39 PM

Should be on the cover of a magazine!!
If you want graffiti ,ya should have gone to the union pacific yard.
And the pup looks proud to be in such a nice ride. It has come along ways from its camper days

daverod · 04-02-2010, 07:26 PM

Had to mess with the pictures. Thought about the rail yard but there was a lot of signs. I would'nt stick my hand inside the truck the pup has a full set of teeth now.

Just ask the guy at the metal scrap yard. Dumba$$ put his hand in there and tried to pet him.

Pictures look a lot better as toons. Gotta love photebucket.

Alan's Classic · 04-03-2010, 07:21 PM

Cool pics you have there. I haven't been posting much here on your thread, but still watching.

Strodder · 04-03-2010, 10:39 PM

Nice pictures Dave. Looks Kewl

jgh64pkup · 04-04-2010, 02:48 AM

love the pics dave

daverod · 04-08-2010, 11:02 AM

Stupid question . Why does my engine have a bolt hole at the top for the trans., But the trans has no hole? Built a floor frame for the back. Going to put 3/16 metal over it.
