Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
OK, a weeks progress and I'm just about done with everything I want to do to this thing. Mounted the tool box up on 4'' stands so it has clearance underneath and is flush with the bed sides.
Today I took on the sway bar install. Cleaned it up and painted it gold. Why? Cuz I had 1/2 a can of gold hammertone.....picked up some new bushings and grade 8 bolts. Got going on this and ran into a PO's project. 1/4'' plate hoops on the front frame. This made drilling a real PITA. Yet once again, I managed to win out over the truck.

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Looks good.
I like the gold sway bar! I bet it drives much better.

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Still plugging away!!! Pulled the tailgate and I am going for the fauxtina attempt to match the truck. Using all Rustoleum products.....fun anyway. Also started cleaning out the drip rail around the roof. I will add new seam sealer and then paint the roof.
What color do you think it should be?? I was leaning toward white but thought maybe silver, or metalflake white??

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
So you had a fun time drilling did u. Damn I should have painted mine gold. I did know it made it handle better. Nice looking tailgate. What the hell were the hoops for?

Drilling sucked. Everything was fine except for the front bolts thru those hoops. I have no idea what they were for..... The gold paint keeps you from driving like an idiot and scraping it on stuff Quote:

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
This was my first thought; I'm leaning toward white.
Quote:
Silver was my second idea. I like it a lot but the sun out here kills silver paint. It lead me to the middle of the road with a metallic white or flake clear over white......it's all for fun and practice!!

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Your truck is looking good.
You should show it off at the Saturday night car show at the Kmart on Power/US 60. There are a couple 60-66 trucks there.

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Well, after being under the influence of paint fumes for 1/2 the day, I got in the 'burb and fired it up!! I thought it had issues, but it was out of gas. I was happy!! I then worked on the '64 short and did not get it fired up. It's been sitting a year so the battery did not want to take a good charge; it also back fired so loud I thought I was deaf!! A neighbor I dont even know came over to see if I was ok!!
I will be updating on those 2 trucks soon, if all continues going well.

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
OK, this weekend I installed the B&M Megashifter and did a trans service. The shifter part wasn't too much fun; I think it was mostly me. I did the service without too much mess and got it all ready to roll. Found out why it leaked, too. The PO cranked the bolts down so tite it pinched the gasket. The shifter is a little highwater, but I liked it all the way up when sitting in the truck. I will eventually make some kind of extension for the shifter base.
I also wanted to straighten my steering wheel as it was upside down aimed forward. Once I pulled it I realized it was pretty beat. I pulled out an old wheel I had which fit perfectly but was about 2'' larger in diameter. I got it in a box of parts when I bought my 'burb. I figured it would make the lack of power steering a little easier to deal with when driving.The projects are getting done quickly!! Next one is on the bench; 3rd brake lite from a '96 Tahoe.....20 bucks.

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
I went early, got a parking spot and then took the family into Kmart for pizza.
We had a fun time. It will be nice if I ever get my extended cab project done so I can cart a couple more people around with me but that is way back on the to do list.
