Thanks for checking in! I think this is most likely the rig I am gonna cruise on the Power Tour. I need new exhaust before that and we are ready

Just wanted to say hey from down the road. Great looking Jimmy and you did a great job on the bed sides. Wish I had of started with one in that good of shape.

Thanks for checking in! I appreciate the kind words. Let me know if you ever want to get together and cruise, there aren't many of us 67-72 guys up here in the mountains.

Tracked down this super hard to find part thanks to Joes Junk. Not much else on progress, just driving it as much as I can. I think new front tires are next on the list.

Looks Great! Thanks for letting me know on the rims and tires.

Since I can’t leave anything alone... time to start another project

[Graham57a]

You can see the core support was hanging on by a thread. I’ll be sure to blast and Powdercoat it while it’s out

[Graham57a]

A little more tear down

[Graham57a]

And she’s out. Boy do I love a greasy small block, time to start cleaning

Any chance you recall the part number and vendor of the water pump? Lots of surface area for the lower radiator hose. I like that. I just got a Gates brand example and it has much less surface area for the hose.

Almost ready for startup. I had to do some rework on my new exhaust. I ended up replacing my manifolds which triggered changing the front portion of my exhaust from 2 1/4” to 2 1/2”. Hopefully one more days work and I’ll be ready under the hood

[Graham57a]

Also need a little finish work on my wire routing / vacuum lines so don’t look too closely

Here is the last project for this round.... fixing my cut dash. I’ve got my patch panel ready to go in, just need to finish cutting out the old section in the center. I also took my glovebox door to the paint store and had them color match the paint for me so I can repaint the dash the correct color once I’m done. Then it’ll be time to install the new am/fm and drive this old girl

[Graham57a]

New dash section went in tonight. Hoping to lay some paint tomorrow

[Tuff Gong]

Truck is looking nice. Thanks for updating with pictures.

[Graham57a]

Got the dash final painted today. All that’s left is final assembly and drive

[Graham57a]

Finally, 8 months after starting on this little project, she moved under her own power again. I need have my carb rebuilt and do some final adjusting, install my ac brackets, and finish putting my dash together. But at least she’s back home!

Congrats!
