Re: 67 long box
I've had it clocked at 35mph, with a buddy driving my truck. The wheels will fold if I take it any faster. it's a 5 hp with 4 hp flywheel to give better timing and the bubba is the gas task. Cops don't like it for some reason.

Re: 67 long box
I got the tranny cleaned, resealed and now working on the floor shifter. Not sure if my Schlitz beer tap will hit the dash.

Re: 67 long box
I am digging the beer tap. You might have to fab a cowl roof to provide clearance.

Re: 67 long box
had to make new shift rod arms from the tranny. seems my swap meet deal was not a complete kit. It's not that easy making a rectangle hole. it all has a new coat of paint. I started cleaning the rear end, blasting gets sand into it, so grinder and wire wheel.

Re: 67 long box
The engine came out of a 1947 Chrysler ambulance. It has a torque converter in front of a clutch assembly. the converter was filled to certain level to give a stall converter affect. then a clutch with standard tranny was behind that. The end of the engine is the torque converter. We took the output shafts from the old standard and the new t5, cut, machined and welded to fit old clutch. When you drive it, it feels just like a regular stick but you can feather the clutch out at a stop like an automatic and just gas to go. I have no idea why Chrysler did this but it does work, mind you the engine with clutch and converter weighs 1000 lbs or so

Re: 67 long box
de rusted the top and back so it's ready for flat/satin mix clear coat. The inside is in primer now and ready for paint, floor is getting stone guard sprayed on it both sides. I'll finish the cab corners and rockers once mounted on the frame. I had a few spots to clean up after metal work was done on the fire wall. It's coming out looking nice.

Re: 67 long box
Found out my fire alarm expired 2009 I guess I could replace it. Did some work on the cab corners and being the only body work on the outside it didn't need to be on the frame. It was so much easy this way too. I also finished the body prep on the kick panels. Some blue, clear, and black paint should be just like 1967 on the inside and now on the out side. Oh and that's Lola my watch dog, she came to inspect again.

Re: 67 long box
seam sealer done on the drip edge. looks easy and not too bad with thinner instead of spit on my finger. Then washed it with a brush and thinners to smooth out. Brushing it made it blend better.

Re: 67 long box
Just found out the rear axles have bad bearing surfaces after all that work not sure what way to go. I have 5 lug front and now have to buy new axles or rear end. Any suggestions?
