Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Thanks guys! I picked up a new job at a nursery (plants not babies) and have been working my tail off to save up enough money for some big ticket parts we are starting to need. However, I have gotten a few things done that I haven't posted up. I recently had a birthday and got an awesome new welding helmet (I'm really wanting to start learning how to weld), and a front driveshaft from bluementhals. Also, a few days ago my dad picked up two battery boxes from "ruff stuff" and a couple red top optima batteries. We added a few little touches of our own to the boxes and they mounted right up. I'll try to get some pics up later tonight when I can get on a computer.

Cool, what about the cab though?

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Still waiting on it. My dad's buddy has been pretty busy lately so my cab is on the back burner for him. But we have plenty of other things to keep us busy. :lol:

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Cool. I'll be watching! :metal:

Are you going to trailer the frame to the truck meet???? :D

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

I was just gonna gorrilla tape a seat and an ice chest to the frame and drive out there... The trailer is a good idea though.:lol:

But hopefully I can talk my dad into letting me. :D

The bumper in the proper orientation, is my vote.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

It's one of those things that just makes sense when you see it in person. The lines, upside down, seem to flow better. But we'll have to get the bed together and ponder it more.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

here's a few pics of the little bit we've gotten done lately...

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab

Brings to mind the old saying that "to build something up, you first have to tear it down"...

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Very cool! Are you getting excited yet?

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Starting to need big ticket parts?

468, D60, 14 Bolt rear disk, TH400....

Are those small tickets? How can I get a job at the nursery?:lol:

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Not sure how anyone could get excited about this build........ ;)

This will be one tuff truck and I'd love to see what you get into that really needs to put that 12k winch to use! :sumo: Sweet build for sure!

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

I'm 17 and I'm building my dream truck... I'm pretty much going insane. :lol:

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Again, I'm 17... Anything over 20 bucks is "Big ticket" :lol:


It won't get into too much... Probably just pulling my girlfriends '10 F-150 onto a trailer, not if but WHEN it breaks down. :gmc2:

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

We did get the battery boxes back from powder coating... they were an exact match

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

All the cables ran

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

The double pass radiator w/tranny cooler was a bigger ticket...
