Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

didnt get a hole lot done today.. put the motor and tranny together but the bolts on the torque converter dont line up with the flywheel so i gotta hold off on putting it in the truck.. but i did slap on the water pump and new alternator and bracket


didnt want to have to do this but o well... It hung way too low so i had to trim it a lil bit
you can see i cut a lil over an inch out..


luckly it didnt take much to get the tubes to slide back into each other.. but i might have to do a lil bending on it once i get it welded cause it kicked it out toward the frame rail a lil bit. need to put the starter on and get it in the truck to really know how its gonna fit

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

Sucks about the headers. Your picture of your shifter did make me go put mine on. I think I have the same one 32 double bend. I'm sure it took me twice as long as it did you. I don't like to read. Good to see you makin progress.

I love the build and your tasteful use of HDR photography. It seems most people process it way to much but yours look great.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

Is your transmission manual or automatic?
I dont think I ever seen a manual with tranny fluid lines, or an automatic with a floor shifter like that....

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

Cool .... I await your photo update !!
I am off the next 4 days solid, so other than throwing some ribs on the BBQ tomorrow (providing the flame dont freeze) I hope to get some stuff done on mine too !!

Yours is looking good dude!
You are about 3 or 4 months ahead of me on getting it on the road I think....

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

Just finished reading your whole thread again. Man you are doing great, and coming up on a year since you started this thread too!
I am probably going to tackle my floor pan, rocker panels and cab corners this weekend. I am off the next 4 days... we will see what I can get done!

Cant wait to see your next update, see what you do next!

Any pointers on getting those rocker panels off?

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

Killer! Is Tuff Stuff the name of the brand or is that a Summit product line? I heard somewhere that chroming cast parts can make them brittle. Don't know if that's true or not but I still try to stay away just in case.
