Re: 1961 Crew Max

Any news? Looks like you are rolling along pretty well. Have you received the harness back yet? I am really interested in seeing how it turns out. Are you going delete the EGR physically from the engine or just install a block plate?

Re: 1961 Crew Max

I have not sent the harness yet. I really want to make sure its going to work out before i spend the money on it. Not positive on the EGR delete yet.

Thanks justin for checking in. Went with porterbuilt on this build. Im sure we will do business again with parts or on another build.

Re: 1961 Crew Max

Quick update. got a really nice grill from a forum member. Also got a original paint tailgate at the portland swap meet a couple weeks ago. won a complete conversion to change the allison trans from 4wd to 2wd on E-bay. Also had a little time to do more floor work on the cab. Im on about week 6 since my order got placed with porterbuilt. They estimated 10-12. Thanks

Re: 1961 Crew Max

Sounds like a nice parts stash you're getting for it! Nice grill and tail gate too.

Re: 1961 Crew Max

Well today I took a day off from the daily grind and headed out to my buddy bruce's shop to stretch the frame. We started with too long bed frames and stretched it a total of 30". Plated the inside and plug welded the outside. Sometime later we will box the section under the cab. Everything came together very good. Still waiting on porterbuild suspension to show up.

Re: 1961 Crew Max

Got a little progress to update. Porterbuilt extreme front and rear installed. Couple loose ends to finish up but all went together pretty well.

Re: 1961 Crew Max

Today got the cab sitting on the new chassie. Rockers came down about 15" from sitting on factory 3/4 ton frame. Everything lined up pretty good on new frame.Chizzler.
