Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Vic,
Outstanding! Can't wait to see it all come together! You gonna make the Nationals with it? I'm planning on being there this time around! I finally got my Steel Harmonic Balancer installed, belts are on and I fired her up for the first time in several months. When I parked it, I heard something dragging when I pulled into the garage, come to find out, my right rear lower shock mount broke, so I made one out of some heavy angle iron, that won't happen again! (I had modified the original stamped brackets and they just didn't hold up, plus I probably don't have enough travel on those shocks-bottoming out maybe?) I noticed my temp gauge is pegged again, guess I must have tweaked the dash harness and grounded the gauge itself, because I checked the wire from the sender to the cluster its reading correctly, but the gauge is grounded definetly. Well, the Company's "Reach" Car and Bike show is this Saturday, at the Cedar Point Training Center, off I-435 and Raytown road. It was scheduled for last Saturday, but as you know, we had a major Deluge, so rescheduled for this Sat. Open to the public, the show starts at 12:00 noon, goes to 4:00 pm, $15.00 registration fee for entries. I'm pretty sure you can register at 9:00am, during the poker run. Hope to see you there if possible, otherwise, the Truck Nationals for sure! Have a good one! Ben

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Thanks everyone! Kathy and I are taking a break and doing some sightseeing, so CRLS is on the back burner for a little while. If I make the Nats, it will be on a trailer. Just too much stuff to do. But that's okay because catching up with truck buddies is the main thing anyway.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Love it. Great looking project.
I jumped to the last page of your thread and love the color on your cab. Couple previous posts showed me the quality of the work being done. Kudos to you. Then, I jumped back to the original post on this thread to see how long the project has been underway. Had to chuckle when I read your original paragraph; " Drove it about 15 white knuckle miles to get it to the house where it now sits awaiting some sort of rebuild. I'm determined to use it as a daily driver and not over restore it like my other truck. Like many 40+ year old trucks, it has lots of problems. My goal is to address the safety and reliability issues as well as the sheetmetal shortcomings. I doubt it will get anything other than a good coat of epoxy primer and I currently have no plans to convert it to discs or 5 lugs. Not making fun of you in any way shape of form. Just had to share my 3 minute observation of the "slippery slope syndrome" . Or the "while I'm at it". It's very easy to do, actually the hardest part I find is stopping myself when I am building a driver (which is what I try to put out these days). Last "SHOW" car went away a few years ago, and glad I turned that page myself. Anyhow, just thought you would possibly get a chuckle out of it too? Beautiful truck. Keep at it.

The funny part is that "it's sooo easy to fall down that slippery slope. As a matter of fact the HARD part is not giving in, terribly hard".

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
OK, finally back home from an extended vacation and ready to pick back up on CRLS. Kathy and I took off and went straight north to the Trans Canada Hwy and west to Vancouver, down to Seattle and back home to KC, more or less following the path of the impending solar eclipse. Only hitch on the trip was running over a boulder dropped in front of us by a dump truck and wiping out the chin spoiler and putting a major dent in the engine cradle / skid cover. All fixable and fortunately didn't knock a hole in the pan(s).
Chip and Vern brought their new ride over yesterday and it's a knockout! I believe their plans include some transplants from Yeller, but I'll let Chip lay all that out when he finds time to launch a new build thread. Looking forward to what they do with this fine little four-eyed Jimmy. Time to get cracking...

cooperhw: Trust me his friends have been giving him crap about that for years me included and it's a running joke that is made even more fun by the fact that every single one of us are guilty of the exact same thing! haha

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Since I haven't followed this build all the way I had to see how it started and wow what a transformation. I actually enjoyed your first post as a laugh compared to where your build is now. You're obviously a man who enjoys working with his hands and the right tools. Two thumbs up on this project.

Oh boy, do I smell a new project brewing or did you find a restored truck for your dad?

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
I had an opportunity to meet the man himself and let it slip past. It's something I'll forever regret. I sure wish my situation was different and he could have dropped by my make-believe, sanitary shop to see the great progress on my 10. Next time Vic!
