Nother one of those..IF..you change your mind about shipping, I would take the visors and seat belts (you didnt mention them though). I have no problem giving you some cash for em.

If I decide to ship I will let you know but it is a heavy piece! Yes it will be a bed side and floor chop job for the shortbed.

I will cut it out so if I decide to ship but it is kind of heavy!

(PS - Flate rate boxes are free if you sign up on the USPS website, they
will deliver them to your door in groups of 25, seriously, can't beat that)

(#18 & #19) What size is the box, send me a link!

Good stock shape no visible rust. I am building a short frame for the build thread. What other parts do you have?

Kevin, a word of advise. I bought one of those HEI's from Summit and the star on the shaft that breaks the field was loose. When I excelerate it would retard and when I decelerate it would advance. Took me hours to find it. Thought it was the carb running lean.

**67 cst swb** · 01-17-2007, 02:12 AM

LFD... I'm interested in the underdash wiring... I assume it's a '69 w/ full gauges wiring harness? But, for that price I'll take it regardless. If you decide to ship, can I be first alternate... Gladly pay shipping...Plus donation to project.
You should post a reply of the list of parts your still needing. I may have a part or two you need.

It is out of a 67 and I do belive the glovebox door did spec guages as one of the options along with the 327ci. You are on the list I will contact you when things are ready. As far as parts I really am set as I have several project vehicals and this 70 came almost 100% complete just in pieces. Thanks anyways!

Kevin, you could throw his harness in a box with my frame pieces and I would pay shipping. just send it all to Bryan and I'll get them from him this summer.

ortegamotor · 01-17-2007, 10:22 AM

hey Kevin, i have a bench out of the 70 that was recovered in a tuck and roll diamond pattern. the bench is solid but could look better,color wise. Tony

Thanks for the offer but I was in a hurry to get it up and going for its road test this weekend

I will be posting needed parts as the build goes on.

I will have everything apart this weekend and I will try and get things rolling next week. I will let everyone know if shipping is going to happen or not. I have very little sape time right now and with it starting to warm back up (60's) I will need to get cracking on project Lemon Drop so I can get it in paint. I has been too cold for priming so I have filled my time with this new toy.

well Kevin, I like the idea of what you are doing. showing how to build a cheap yet highly reliable truck is extremely helpful. all the manufacturers have been trying to achieve this for many, many years and are getting close. it takes a fair amount of planning and carefull egineeering. I havent touched mine in 3 years except for the things I got stupid on earlier. (like forgetting to put the lockwashers on the pan bolts) ol' Lefty starts every morning and gives me not a lick of trouble.
I know this goes against the cheap rule but if someone has headders that are constantly leaking I HIGHLY suggest copper gaskets.

ortegamotor · 01-18-2007, 10:47 AM

hey Kevin, i could really use those trailing arm, let me know . Tony

Yes coppers work well but in my case the header port weld ring only catches the port by 1/32" in a few places so mine are heading for the garbage as soon as I can get a set of manifolds.

Kevin,
I think I may have a set in the garage. I will look tomorrow and let you know. If I have them, in the spirit of the build, you can have them for the cost of shipping.

kevs_c10 · 01-18-2007, 11:55 PM

Kevin,
Does your parts truck have a wood bed (assuming the steel patch panels were from the 70)? If so are you willing to part with the cross sills? I'm changing mine over from steel.

Has anyone grabbed the pile of side trim or the tail gate yet? How about the gas tank?

Thanks!

myoldchev · 01-19-2007, 12:04 AM

If you decide to ship I'll gladly take those mirrors off your hands. I don't want to seem ignorant here, but are you anywhere near Pasadena. My bro lives there and I could probably talk him into coming and getting them.

No my 70 is a complete running keeper! The 67 was a steel floor! Side trim is gone, gate is still here! Tank is also still here!

Thanks!

Yes as you leave Pasadena turn right and I am about 500miles up the road near the big tree on your left! Sorry I had to do it

I will put you down for the mirrors if shipping happens.

timcos · 01-19-2007, 11:02 AM

With a stop in Winnemucca...I could be there in about 10 hours...with a one hour time change...it is like nine as I get to live a whole hour over again.

Are you still on the left by the tree coming from the east?

ortegamotor · 01-19-2007, 11:56 AM

hey Kevin, Thanks for the trailing arms, and yes i still have your # i will give you a call this evening to firm up the time. Tony

meathead95 · 01-19-2007, 01:10 PM

if you decide to ship i would like the very rear most piece of the bed floor you cut up.

timcos · 01-19-2007, 01:27 PM

Side Note...what guage is the bed floor?

Tim

No doubt, I bought a longbed just for this thread........Ah, I'll quietly observe from this point on

meathead95 · 01-19-2007, 04:42 PM

why did you decide to cut the frame where you cut it at? is that not the frame you are going to use?

Rokcrln · 01-19-2007, 08:19 PM

Yes their is alot of BS for pages so far but as soon as this stuff is gone I will be deleting any and all non truck build thread related posts on my end and please do the same on everyone elses.

No that is not the truck I am building, that is another that came with my 70. It has no title and alot of rust and i do not have enought room so it is going very soon.

Does any one know how to properly patch a radiator leak? I have a small drip comming from a damaged fin that I would like to try patching up my self. I have a good tortch set up with small brazing tips but no idea what or how to do this. It is a very new 4 core radiator other wise I would just replace it. Any good links?

Thanks,
Kevin
