I'm thinking nothing would have been better.

If I would have done it I would have welded a horse shoe in there.

It's just so funny I had to post it some more.

jgh64pkup · 10-18-2009, 11:19 PM

sure

spudtruck · 10-18-2009, 11:33 PM

Hey Daverod this is spud truck I'm up by Rexburg. Just some Fyi there are two trucks at Cross's Crashes in the Falls. One is a 63 big window and I think the other is about a 65 GMC. There is also one at Holst truck parts I think it was a 65 chevy. Can't remember what trans they had in them. There is also another 65 on Craigs list in Rigby it has some pretty cool looking old school slotted mags. It was 400 obo. Just thought I'd let you know. By the way what an awsome build thread.

jgh64pkup · 10-18-2009, 11:34 PM

glad to have you on here

Cool welcome Is this cross place a car lot? Da crashes. It must be a junk yard. I heard the Falls have good yards. I saw the one on craigs. Is that spud truck your daily driver?

spudtruck · 10-18-2009, 11:46 PM

Really glad to be here!!! I put a short blub about me on the main page.

spudtruck · 10-18-2009, 11:50 PM

Yep they have some pretty good yards. Crosses it just down from Wright brothers truck stop he really is reasonable especially if you pull your own. You might give that craigslist a try I think he was really needing to move it.If you need me to check on stuff up here let me know.

daverod · 10-18-2009, 11:51 PM

It surpises me how many people are on here from Idaho. You'll like it here. Lots of good info. Look back a few pages Strodder just told me how to post pictures. Works for now still can't post from my computer though

spudtruck · 10-19-2009, 12:11 AM

I wish it was my old chev. That is the one that sits in front of the Spud drive in theatre over in Driggs, but you probably already knew that.

daverod · 10-20-2009, 11:34 PM

Just bought some modular 2 1/2 " dropped spindles from cpp. Now I can start working on my front end. Going with a rack and pinion. Just have to find out how to hook it up to my cross member. I can post again.

bubba327 · 10-20-2009, 11:40 PM

I'll be watching how easily the rack and pinion goes in, I have an uncle who plans on installing a rack in his 58 apache.

Gee it is great to attach stuff to posts again!!

daverod · 10-20-2009, 11:43 PM

How's your trans stuff going?

bubba327 · 10-20-2009, 11:57 PM

I should get the new flex plate in tomorrow if time permits,I picked up the new starter today, but A-Zone had robbed the box and taken out the shims and the measuring gauge for starter clearance, so I have to return and borrow some from another box! I can't work on it every night or my wife pitches a fit and there is %$#@ in camp!
You know -if momma isn't happy-- nobody is happy !

daverod · 10-20-2009, 11:59 PM

Cut the bumper brackets off. Cleaned up my a arms. Need to order some ball joints. Going to get the newer 73 ones.

Strodder · 10-21-2009, 11:02 AM

You should have made the lower A Arm air bag mounts while you still had them on? It's very critical where you position the bags. Also have to cut where the upper part of the bag mounts. The bag CAN NOT TOUCH ANYTHING, or it will wear a hole in it.

MacAttack · 10-21-2009, 03:05 PM

Dennis - cool pic.

Now you tell me.

Thanks Dennis. I still have time. I'm going to put it all together when I get my spindles. I never really thought about how the bags hooked on to the arms. I guess I'll have to order some more bags and cups?

Strodder · 10-21-2009, 08:16 PM

Yours look different. This one is a 57 Chevy Nomad, but you get the idea. Check it fully collapsed, and inflated.

Ya man.

Will check it out.

daverod · 10-21-2009, 10:55 PM

Finally got a price on my 3 speed. Looks like $800 to fix it up. Said 1st and 3rd gears were messed up.

Told him to fix it.

Then I kicked him in the balls lol:

Not

ruffrida2005 · 10-22-2009, 12:03 AM

Gage me and Dave have never met before. I was giving him a hard time so he just had to bring my truck into it. My friend did weld that before I bought the truck. This is one of my first welds.

daverod · 10-23-2009, 07:42 PM

Parts fairy dropped off some Vette bezels.

Now all I have to do is find some time.
