Drywall lifter! That Craiger's a genius!

Nice to see all the big pieces coming back together.

chad64chevy · 03-27-2016, 02:58 PM

I agree, welcome back Craig! It's been awhile since you have posted anything! love the lift, one of the best things I built! I built mine awhile back an have used it to lift the bed off also!

lower50's · 03-28-2016, 01:36 AM

Welcome back Craig!! Glad to see you making progress on the old girl. Mine should be seeing the road for the first time ever in three weeks.

**clemdaddy** · 03-28-2016, 08:58 AM

I agree with all the guys Craig... nice to see you back posting again. Hope you have a great spring.

CRGRS 66 · 03-30-2016, 12:35 PM

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?

Nice work on the home renovations, now let's give the truck some lovin. Looking forward to the progress on it.

markeb01 · 07-05-2016, 12:48 PM

Great purchase on the Alan Grove parts. I have their stuff on my truck and it works perfectly and lasts indefinitely. Good luck!

Ta2Don · 07-05-2016, 02:00 PM

Craigerr, glad to see you resurface and getting some truck time in...

**clemdaddy** · 07-05-2016, 03:32 PM

Where did you camp, Finger Lakes area?

Letchworth State Park, B E A utifal park, they call themselves the Grand Canyon of the east, but it is a Gorge similar to the Niagara Gorge with the Genesee river running through it... and yes, it is in the finger lakes area

Wish I had gone with alan groves on the power steering pump bracket, the one I go is okay, but I had to shim it out to align it with the crank pulley.

You're secret is safe with me... I won't tell a soul

lower50's · 07-07-2016, 10:25 AM

Good to see you getting at it again buddy.

CRGRS 66 · 01-21-2017, 04:56 PM

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...

**The Rocknrod** · 04-22-2018, 11:06 PM

That fuel line looks sweet, your very good at that.

**Captainfab** · 04-23-2018, 12:00 AM

Nice work on the tube bending

**Palf70Step** · 04-23-2018, 07:37 AM

....Way better with that tubing bender than I am. Great looking work.

CRGRS 66 · 04-23-2018, 07:43 AM

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.

lower50's · 04-23-2018, 08:26 AM

Hi Craig Glad to see your still at it!! Love the fuel line. As far as I see the brakes seem to be correct.

CRGRS 66 · 04-23-2018, 08:30 AM

Don't have great pictures handy, but this will give you an idea.

lower50's · 05-23-2018, 03:57 PM

Get the boys at your work to bend those lines up?

CRGRS 66 · 05-24-2018, 03:15 PM

I did the lines on my truck. I have done to big tubes on the garbage trucks, but generally the guys do these.

markeb01 · 06-06-2018, 05:04 PM

Beautiful tubing work! Congrats!!

CRGRS 66 · 07-09-2019, 03:14 PM

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!

66c10Steve · 08-01-2019, 12:09 PM

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:
