dave, your alive. If you got time there are plenty of thrifty wiper conversions. Since I'm always pressed for time I coughed up 200 bucks for the usa made newport wiper. Its ok to say the least. Heat, since my heater core and ranco valve both leaked, I took the other easy route out and dropped another 200 or so on an aftermarket kit, its not too bad either, came with everything you need. But you could prolly find a whole complete AC/Heat unit for 700 or so.

Tell me again why I put my brake booster under the dash.

99 to Life · 10-02-2013, 01:04 AM

LOL, yeah to be honest, under the dash is sooo cluttered as it is especially if you run the stock vent which is cool. I couldn't imagine a booster under there.

daverod · 11-15-2013, 07:51 PM

Brown truck dropped this off today. Just in time for the snow. Get the tourpac and seat/speakers on Tuesday.

Meanwhile the 52 sits.

I see a lot of cars shows and stuff and stuff in the future.

Strodder · 11-15-2013, 11:09 PM

Nice bike Dave. Any plans for it?

daverod · 11-16-2013, 11:54 AM

Just ride the hell out of it .

Then black out and stage 4.

99 to Life · 11-29-2013, 12:57 AM

hey dave, curious as to how high your frame is off ground laid out? Then how far off frame did you cab end up being? I'm pretty close to having mine done, prolly have to notch my rear a little bit. I'm running 26" tall tire with drop spindles

daverod · 12-06-2013, 03:08 PM

Out with the old.

In with the new. Should have some nice rust by spring.

800 miles since turkey day.

The frame is on the ground or below. The cab is about 3 to 4 off the frame.

Wybrow · 12-06-2013, 03:50 PM

Love your 52 man, perfect.

99 to Life · 12-09-2013, 11:21 AM

dave, I wanna see some truck driving footage cmon!!!

here is my new build.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...97#post6407697

I'm about 4" frame off ground without engine/trans in there. that puts the fenders on the ground with the cab being 3" off frame. So its pretty close to where its gonna go. 2" drops spindles, rear frame lays on axle, no tub in bed and a decent bed depth as of right now.

daverod · 12-11-2013, 07:42 PM

I think it frozen to the ground. I just put some lights on it.

Roads are almost clear though. I was thinking about a bike ride.

Strodder · 12-13-2013, 11:24 AM

Watch out for that black ice.

rollinrooster · 12-14-2013, 10:54 AM

Nice bike!!! My bike is probably the reason my '49 isn't on the road yet

They do have the nickel and dime'n thing done to a science. A big thick catalog of all the pretty shinny things you can put on your bike to make it yours!!Put another 100miles on it yesterday. Snowing today I think winter is here for real this time. Come on spring

Looks like it's time to park it.

99 to Life · 12-19-2013, 12:52 PM

dave, put some studs on her, don't be a wimp! and or throw some on the 52'. where is your next build???????????????

daverod · 12-19-2013, 08:18 PM

Washed it off good and parked it for awhile. Rooster was probably just talking about all the time he spent riding it and not the $$. I still need to finish my 66 before I start anything. Got pretty boring today. Maybe start the 66 soon.!!!

padresag · 01-11-2014, 11:35 AM

pretty boring over here, everything being ignored for that 2 wheel thing?

ron

daverod · 02-09-2014, 10:56 AM

funny man. Well it snowed here so I can't ride my bike anymore.

Pulled the 52 in the garage.

Welded on some more metal to grind off. The front hits on the bottom of fenders. The back hits right where the arms bolt on to the frame. Not a good place to start grinding away metal. I welded a good size chunk just forward of that. Should solve the problem for awhile. No driveline vibration when the front is higher than rear. Maybe I'll raise the trans up about a 1/2" to see what that does.

daverod · 02-21-2016, 09:09 PM

New rims and tires.

daverod · 02-21-2016, 09:13 PM

ruffrida2005 · 02-21-2016, 09:22 PM

That looks pretty good if I do say so myself.

daverod · 02-21-2016, 09:35 PM

Thanks paul.i ran out of stuff to kill. Had to spend some $$$.
