project lownslw64 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

lownslw64 · 10-17-2009, 01:56 PM

Hi everyone,

I am like everybody else, been looking at the board for a while know but haven't posted my build. So, here it is. I have a 1964 swb fleet big back window that I took down to the frame and had it sandblasted. I por-15 the frame, x-members, rearend, trailing arms and anything else I could (that stuff is badass!). I Installed a porterbuilt front x-member with art arms, bags , rack and pinion,disc brakes and 5x5 bolt pattern in the front and bags on the trailing arms, 3:73 posi, disc brakes and 5x5 axles in the rear. I put the gas tank in the rear of the frame to get it out of the cab. Right know I have a ls1/4l60e combo with 38k miles out of a 02 camaro ss that I am cleaning up to install with sanderson headers and a griffin alum radiator with dual elec. fans.

IF PICS DONT UPLOAD THEY WILL BE UP SOON.

Future plans include S.S. hard air lines, vintage air, ididit column,

lownslw64 · 10-17-2009, 03:07 PM

can somebody help me and tell me how to post pics from your computer onto here?

**lolife99** · 10-17-2009, 03:09 PM

Subscribing!
Sound like a cool project.

The ability to attach pictures is temporarily down.

**ChiefRocka** · 10-17-2009, 03:11 PM

I like to use 'Tinypic.com' instead of the site system...you can load 10 pics per thread quickly that way.

Welcome aboard, btw from San Jose !

Sounds like your gonna have a bad-a$$ truck when your done !!!

Slow Build · 10-18-2009, 07:06 PM

I don't know which I'm more jealous of the truck or the clean workspace around the truck.

c10addict · 10-18-2009, 07:19 PM

lownslw64 · 10-23-2009, 11:40 AM

thanks for all the complements. It has taken me awile but, in the long run it will be what i want.

63 & 64 Bowties · 10-23-2009, 11:56 AM

Where'd that truck come from?
From the grease-pencil writing on the windshield, it was a police impound at one time.
I did police towing many years ago, so I recognize it.

(not the truck, the writing.)

DaddyMack · 10-23-2009, 12:08 PM

Looks great!

61TWUK · 10-23-2009, 01:30 PM

your truck looks great!!! i love seeing projects like yours it gives me hope and ideas!!!

lownslw64 · 10-24-2009, 10:32 AM

I bought the truck originally in scotts valley, ca. but, I ended up buying another cab off of a truck in san carlos that the guy bought it from a impound yard and he was parting it out.

1964C10 · 10-24-2009, 10:48 AM

Awesome looking truck! Very clean on the running gear, very well done! Welcome to the board and looking forward to reading abotu your LS1 install.

Slow Build · 10-24-2009, 01:12 PM

I just realized we are almost neighbors (as long as you are in the NorCal Brentwood). I'm in Antioch near Wallyworld (aka: Walmart). If you need an extra pair of hands I might be able to help. I'd love to check out your project.

Keep up the good work.
