1964C10 · 10-13-2009, 10:01 AM

Love the new name Alan, but like the others I had to do a double take for a second before I realized what you did hahaha. You realize though that a new cooler name isn't going to make it any faster ;-)

bubba327 · 10-13-2009, 01:41 PM

.. and god bless the little pygmies in Africa too... thats funny Alan -- your thread has been jacked

1964C10 · 10-14-2009, 11:51 PM

I threw away 4 doors and still have a little more to throw away plus one more door. The rear sill wasn't in good shape if it makes you feel better.

sdailey brought his cab over and he cut out his trans hump. After my garage sale this weekend and mother-in-law visit from MT. Work begins on his cab. He will be doing most of it, I'll be here for moral support.

Inverter · 10-15-2009, 01:12 AM

Damn I miss my plasma cutter. Is it yours Allan?

JRBECK64 · 10-15-2009, 12:38 PM

How many projects you have going??? My Son is about to bust, his truck is so close to being done but there are a few little details keeping us from finishing it now. How do you like your plasma cutter? I have been thinking about asking for one for Christmas. Looking forward to seeing more pictures of the trucks.

Not throwing a cab roof are you? lol

ruffrida2005 · 10-26-2009, 11:13 PM

Gage if you do it and it works nice, build me one too.

Alan have you heard or used the cunifer brake lines before?

what do you think

I don't know alot about fiberglass, but I'm sure what ever you do would be better than what is on the market. Keep in mind the hood springs are designed for a heavy hood. I've seen people add links of chain to the spring to reduce the stress on the hood. There's got to be a better way than using links of chain.

Someone else has mentioned that type of brake line in this thread. To answer your question, no I haven't messed with them at all. I might try them someday. For this one I will be using SS. I might regret it. Thanks

i was going to use shocks

ruffrida2005 · 10-27-2009, 09:01 PM

I was just asking, cuz I'm getting all my brake lines for free, and it's the cunifer. I know Audi, Volvo, and some other builders use it. Here is a link from where I'm getting it from www.fedhillusa.com

Thanks for the link. That looks like a nice product.

Denver64 · 10-27-2009, 10:24 PM

Wow! It has taken me about a month of pretty regular reading to get to this point. Awesome build Alan!!! This should be a must read for anyone that is going to do a full frame off resto. It really goes to show that a project of this magnitude becomes part of your life and yet there is a lot of life going on around our builds and there isn't always time to work on our trucks. Also it's crazy that just reading these build threads makes me feel like I know a lot of you guys. It is so easy to get sucked into this site because it's more than just nuts and bolts in these threads, there's a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. Kudos to all of you and especially Alan for the great reading and all the valuable tips and information!

very nice work Alan

70 Suburban · 10-30-2009, 10:20 AM

This is and has been an amazing adventure and undertaking. Thanks for the effort you put into yours. Its helps us all feel that we can do more.

MacAttack · 10-30-2009, 10:51 AM

Hands down, Alan - best build thread so far. Detail is incredible and it's easy to see the care taken in thinking the process out. Thanks again for the effort.

Mac.

Strodder · 10-30-2009, 11:16 AM

Great job Allan. You do make it look easy, but we know it's not.
