Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Took a test drive to try out the 5-speed transmission I installed in place of the column shift 3-speed. What a difference at highway speeds with the overdrive, it just cruises along without the engine screaming. Now, I just need to find an older looking shifter and boot to retrofit. And then on to the floor and rocker sheet metal.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Looks nice old cruiser, I think I might build one with glass, to expensive to buy one.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Yesterday I found a small fine thread metric nut inside the engine block.
Yeah, I don't know either. There hasn't been a metric nut in my garage in years. Last edited by slapthefunkyfour; 03-14-2011 at 10:10 AM. |

Took the roof panel off of the donor truck. I will get this cleaned up and ready for installation on the red 66 that I gave to my BIL.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Worked a little on the firewall tonight. The rest will have to wait until the cab come back off of the frame. I also decided to see how the tailgates fits. Still trying to make my mind to go with the chains or go for the cleaner look with no chains. I would hate to modify a original tailgate but we will see.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Today I pulled the truck out of the garage for the first time sense I bought it last week. I pulled the front bumper and grill assembly off. I also removed the bolts for the metal bed that the previous owner had put of the wood bed. I need to ground out a few welds and then I will pull the metal out. I cleaned up some of the wiring under the hood. It looked like a rats nest. I think I will clean up the wiring under the dash next. I am only cleaning it up to make it easier to remove and reinstall later after painting. I pulled the windshield wipers, antennae, parking lights, and headlights as well.
I feel like it was a pretty productive day today. Looking forward to getting it done in about two years. Atleast that is what I am shooting for. So glad I found this site. |
