Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
I then slid the solid shaft into the collapsable shaft, it's sticking in about 1". All I need to do now is weld it up solid and I'm done with the steering

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
I just spent some time making sure it was all square and I fully welded it up. Steering is pretty much done now!

Re: Nik's 62 build
No pictures but today is my 17th birthday and my mom and dad surprised me with a nice set of tires for my 16" rims! I'm really excited to get them mounted and on the truck soon! I'll post some pics tomorrow when there's a little more light. I also just passed a road test and I now have my novice license, meaning I can finally drive on my own without a supervisor. So now I'm going to be trying even harder to get the truck road worthy for this spring so I can insure it and drive it!

Re: Nik's 62 build
Thanks bill, I appreciate you changing the thread name, with me now being 17 and most of the rust repaired I figured it needed a new name.

Thanks Scott, hopefully, I still have lots left to do but the list is slowly getting smaller.

Thanks rusty!

Here is some info on the tires, they are Dunlop rover max traction's, LT245-75R16. Tread pattern is fairly aggressive, 90% tread left. The direction of this build has changed a bit since I first started, at first I was wanting to lower the truck but now I've decided to keep it stock height and get some bigger more aggressive tires because I'm going to be driving the truck on fishing and hunting trips on rough roads in the near future.

Re: Nik's 62 build
Happy birthday Nik. Keeping the truck stock height sounds like a good plan if you're going off the paved roads

Re: Nik's 62 build
I got the new (new to me) motor mount in today! It took me a while to find one of these and I managed to find this one in Missouri, the guy decided an old motor mount wasn't worth much so he gave it to me for free! so I shipped it here (only $15 shipping surprisingly). Here it is, has a slight bulge but for being 56 years old it looks great!

Re: Nik's 62 build
So it was time to install it, but first I had to dig the darn engine hoist out of the snow! Gotta love Canadian winters!

Re: Nik's 62 build
I lifted up the front of the engine and bolted it on, now I'm almost ready to install the engine! Hopefully within the next week I'll get a chance to bolt the motor mount perch to the new crossmember and drop the motor in place!
