Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
Thanks guys, good to be back on it, hope to get things moving forward soon...
I tagged onto a post about cab mount bushings, thought it would be good to add onto an existing post, doesn't look like many have noticed the thread pop up again, could some of my... followers review and post their advice on the following thread? http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=632118

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
I have been making small bits of progress here and there, and have run into an issue with my clutch linkage. I poached these pictures form McMurphy`s thread. I believe I am having the same issue. Stud threads into the boss nicely, but the linkage was nearly impossible to install, and just does not look right. Engine is a basic 350 crate engine. I don`t have any fab skills, hoping Mike reads this and kept the dimensions for his little bracket...

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
Thanks guys, did I put the brake hardware back together correctly?
We do some pretty intricate tube bending for some OEM customers, I will post some pictures.

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
Update!
The last work that I did on the truck was the brake lines, haven't touched it in forever. So, she is for sale, and just like that, it is sold to one of my closest friends. Steve will be taking over from here. I will live vicariously through him from here on. We are actually moving the truck to his place tonight. I will sign in and catch up on all of you guys from time to time. Cheers to all!

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
Well, I'm the Steve that bought the truck from Craig and will be picking up where he left off. I know I have a long road ahead of me but I'm looking forward to having this baby rolling someday.
I've been peeling through everyone's builds and see a lot of impressive work and I'm sponging it all up. I'll be sharing progress through this thread since it holds the beginning of the truck's restoration life. There's still a ways to go and it all seems daunting at times but to paraphrase a line from Johnny Cash, I'll do it one piece at a time. Cheers fellas, I look forward to contributing to the board. To start things off, here is where she currently rests:
