Precious times, he will always remember.

Nice progress!!

greg65 · 03-26-2011, 10:06 PM

Thanks Alan, I will feel much better about the whole project when the body is straight and painted. I can handle pretty much everything except the body work.

66BowTieBoy · 03-26-2011, 10:26 PM

Greg65,
That's one handy helper you got there. Looks like he'll be ready for a NASCAR pit crew position in no time...!

As Alan said, your son remember these days forever. You are a blessed man.

Great pics Greg.. I can't wait till I get a garage so Zach and I can work on things together.. What are your plans with the old springs? I want to lower the '72 badly..

I'm going to use them in the '69. With the three inch lowered control arms and three lowered springs I think it is too much. If it had air ride I would not mind if the frame was sitting on the ground. When we put the ECE springs in it will still be four and a half in the front. Are you interested in the three inc springs?

truknut · 03-28-2011, 01:05 PM

Yeah I would be interested in the 3" springs.. How much would you want for them?

Saturday my son and I went to chewin the fat get together and had a good time talking trucks. This was the second year and we had twice as many trucks this year than last year. After we left we went and picked up a serpentine set up for my engine. I will have to add a new p/s pump and alternator. All the brackets were bead blasted and clear coated. I will try to post pictures once I get my computer up and working again.

greg65 · 05-05-2011, 10:16 AM

Ok here are my serpentine brackets and pulleys. I thought it was a pretty good deal for $100.00. After getting my new waterpump painted I got it all installed. My alternator and power steering pump should be in this weekend.

sdailey · 05-05-2011, 10:21 AM

Looking good Greg. That's a deal on the serpentine setup. Gotta love progress.

Alan's Classic · 05-06-2011, 12:06 PM

What did you do about the acc hole on the right head that didn't exist? Looking good.

greg65 · 05-06-2011, 07:47 PM

Nothing yet. When the engine and transmission come back out I will have to drill and tap the hole. Other than the alternator getting mounted today, very little progress. Hoping my power steering pump comes in Monday.

greg65 · 05-10-2011, 09:06 PM

Got all the accessories for my serpentine system mounted today. I still have to measure for the belt and make up the power steering hoses. Looks like i'll be borrowing a page from Alan's truck and using -an fittings on my hoses.

towersddg9 · 05-21-2011, 09:37 PM

955K6 is my guess on the belt

I will keep that in mind. First I need to finish up the power steering lines. Sounds like a good excuse for a trip to Summit racing for the rest of the -6 AN fittings and braided hose.

Alan's Classic · 05-10-2011, 09:07 PM

Lookin' good Greg!!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 05-21-2011, 01:09 PM

Truck is really shaping up keep up the good work..

Thanks, I try to work on it when I get extra time but usually not enough to post.

Alan's Classic · 06-08-2011, 09:28 PM

Looks great Greg!! Did you fit the inner fender for clearance? It looks like it should be good. Looks better than mine.

Thanks Alan. Yes I bolted up the radiator support and drivers side inner fender to make sure the clearance was correct. I also had to bolt on the fender to see how big of a difference the two inch springs made opposed to the 1 1/2 inch springs I took out. After the rest of the front sheet metal is bolted up it should sit about right. Today i'm trying to run down the last fitting to complete my power steering return hose.

56taskforce · 06-09-2011, 01:13 PM

Looking really good nice plumbing work. You may already have a plan here but for your retune line at the pump you can use a AN hose union shave the threads off one side drill the hole in the side that you took the threads off so that it slips tightly over the hard line at the back of the pump and use silver solder to sweat fit it in place.

sdailey · 06-15-2011, 03:59 PM

Hey Greg,

Look what I've got.

I'm mailing it tomorrow, along with your dizzy.

COOL. Now I can get the p/s line completed. You don't know how much I appreciate you finding the fitting for me. Let me know if I can return the favor.

Just glad to be able to help. Thanks for letting me use the dizzy for my mock up.

Or you could just use that compression to AN fitting that Shannon is sending you LOL
