Put about 50 miles on the truck today just running around picking things up. First time it's been out of the garage in nearly a month. First the rewire project and then due to the miserable weather. Over the last couple of days it's gone from 6-8 degrees to almost 50! It is sure fun being behind the wheel compared to the boring practicality of a CRV.

temps in the mid 50's, no snow, dusted the 66 off and drove it to work this morning................Nice..........now to just wait for spring !!!!

Drove mine to the Conroe swap meet looking for a deluxe heater control, no luck. I'll try again tomorrow when more vendors are there. 72 degrees and sunny, great day to be out and about in the 65.

Send me a picture of the deluxe controls, we have a 65 that is going to the scrapper soon, dash is in good shape, if I knew what they looked like and the ones in the scrapper are correct would give them to you. Kieth

That would be great! All I really need is the lever for the defroster as mine self destructed. The vendors only sell them as a set of three. If your truck has one let me know, I'd be grateful. Thanks for the offer.

**pimpston65** · 02-15-2014, 03:30 PM

bent up some trans module vacuum lines and vacuum advance for the dist.

TJ's Chevy · 02-17-2014, 12:09 PM

Urgently and currently waiting for my new distributor to show up today!

YoungRasta66 · 02-17-2014, 05:01 PM

Me and a buddy were talking and relized we were both after the same car just needed different parts. So this the fan I picked up off a 95 ford Taurus hope it works

other friends car is m50 swapped e30

Improbcat · 02-17-2014, 05:07 PM

Sold the red '64 Shortbed yesterday. Never did get the paperwork I needed to register it, and didn't have the money to fix it up mechanically(engine was very worn out). Did turn a decent profit so I can get my collapsing chimney fixed and still have quite a bit of money in the old truck fund for the '64 longbed.

TJ's Chevy · 02-18-2014, 09:09 PM

Got my new distributor from Speedmaster! 65K coil! That'll burn the fuel!

**pimpston65** · 02-15-2014, 03:34 PM

pre-bents fuel and brake lines, nope took em off a 65 C10 you know they fit and are correct

XLCOR_65 · 02-15-2014, 10:27 PM

Started working on replacing the terrible hack job someone did to the rear and main tail light harnesses. They even cut the connector off of the harness under the dash and wired everything direct.

May report back with some pics tomorrow. (I'm terrible at remembering to take pics when I'm working on the truck...

)

NEWFISHER · 02-15-2014, 10:57 PM

installed my rechromed C60 grille and back lit it with orange LED. Also soldiered up several sets for the cab. One under the pass side dash, one along the front of the seat frame and one ontop of the tank illuminating the rear wall of the cab.

bmwhitt · 02-16-2014, 06:23 PM

Bought my second cab in a week to replace mine....now just to sell the Chevrolet cab and fix the floors in the GMC!!

NEWFISHER · 02-16-2014, 07:37 PM

Had an old 40s mechancal vacuum operated fan kicking around so I tucked the brackets through the speaker grille and bent up some copper tube for the supply line running it through the defrost vent and out the side of the hose. Already had a guy at the gas station guessing how old it is.

**pimpston65** · 02-18-2014, 07:06 PM

Woodnears · 02-16-2014, 08:58 PM

Threw down some spi epoxy primer on the cab. It turned out great! The son and I are monitoring he temp. Trying to maintain 75+.

endlessearth · 02-16-2014, 11:51 PM

TKO500 and 355 in place.

Johnny Too Bad · 02-17-2014, 12:51 AM

Swapped the TBI heads on the 350 for some new aluminum performance heads (2.02/1.90, 64cc combustion chambers), chromoly push rods, Harland Sharp rocker rollers and a polished dual plane intake.

First time I've had a chance to look inside, and was glad to see the pistons and cylinder walls looked pretty good.

Should have it buttoned up and ready to fire tomorrow evening after work.

**pimpston65** · 02-18-2014, 06:54 PM
