I think I may have an extra resistor for the heater Don. Give me a day or two to look for you. I have a whole 65 heater boxed up and use for it.

the floor in your truck looks in great shape... keep rocking on bro.

Thanx Clem! I'm looking at either American Autowire or the Ron Francis kit…
Floor has been fixed before, not the best job, but solid...

Between dealing with filling the pool, and finding out the flow control valve for the filter is shot...

and taking the dog to the vet, I was able to get the cab completely in primer...

Here's the floor in primer…

Primer looks good brotha! Liking the little project.

Ta2Don · 06-04-2015, 10:17 PM

Got a couple of boxes in today via the USPS, i.e. Snail Mail...

Stoked, my 710 Cap arrived… AKA my Oil Cap...

Seen a story on FB recently describing a blonde who couldn't find the oil filler cap on her car, because all she could find was the 710 Cap...

IMG_3478 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

My Valve Cover Vent arrived also, then was taped off and the painting begun…

After a trip to town I returned with floor insulation… Thanks Donnie "dwcardfan" for the product tip…

TJ's Chevy · 06-05-2015, 09:58 AM

Looks good brotha! Sometimes I still wish I got that finned valve cover for my 292! lol Would have Loved doing blue in the middle of each fin.

Maybe its not to late.....

I do like the idea of the flip fronts on our trucks.

However, just how sensible and practical is it? (Knowing sensible is not a word used to describe me often)

Red truck is absolutely stonking.

**clemdaddy** · 06-07-2015, 07:54 AM

your project is moving along great Don. always like seeing the progress. good work partner...

Stonking??? I like the flip front, another friend of mine out in North Carolina is toying with the idea of doing a 74 that way and after seeing that same truck posted on FB he asked if I had any other pics which I did and sent him already...

He's building a 65 as well...

I think he may have ideas for that one too…

Here's the other pic I sent him…

Should have the cab on real soon…

dwcardfan · 06-07-2015, 10:34 PM

The truck is rolling right along. Looking good brother. Looks like a nice car show.

Alan's Classic · 06-07-2015, 10:35 PM

With the move I haven't been able to check on folks progress except what I see on FB. Your making some great progress.

Did you get the 710 cap off my FB page?

I also used the peel n seal works good.

Ta2Don · 06-07-2015, 10:45 PM

So yesterday while visiting with a friend at the car show, he asked how the rat project was coming along… I explained that I was at a standstill while working on the 65… Long story short, he's now the owner of the 47 Rat project and I'm the owner of this…

72 LWB 350/TH350 No Power anything, and needing some work, but a running and driving truck...

IMG_3580 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

IMG_3581 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

IMG_3583 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

His plans are to build a Rat Wrecker…

as for the 72… will start a build thread in that area when I figure out what the plans are...

Yes I did get the 710 cap from you…

Congrats on the move, been watching progress on FB...

Grizz1963 · 06-07-2015, 11:22 PM

Morning Don,

Great move on the trade.

One thing I have always said, is that there is no emotion attached to my toys.

Want them? Swop, trade, pay and they are yours.

I like it so far.

Rat Wrecker sounds like a good thing too.

Bomp · 06-07-2015, 11:41 PM

That looks like a possible quick flip. Or a good weekend hauler.
Score!

mjh1965 · 06-08-2015, 12:45 AM

Good swop Don and being a driver it's a win win . I guess you are just going to just flip it . Or are we going to Clem's in it if the stepper isn't finished ?

**clemdaddy** · 06-08-2015, 07:37 AM

great score Don. looks like a wealth of good parts and maybe a fun driver.

1963c-10 · 06-08-2015, 08:17 AM

Nice progress on the build and diggin the new parts.

Great score on the 2nd gen too!!!!
