Gentlemen, thank you for your kind comments


A bit of an update (across 2 posts) .....Part A

I’ve been doing a lot of odd jobs recently, I finally got around to fitting the choke cable,

Put the belts on the engine, put fluid in the PS pump etc. etc.

So before I do my final round of rust repairs (I’m saving that for the dark nights ) I’ve decide to do the fuel tank and exhaust.

I need to know where the exhaust will exit the truck and I need to know how high above the frame the tank can sit so before starting on these jobs I’ve fitted the rear cross sill and new rear bumper which is a ’67. For anyone thinking of fitting a ’67 bumper to their 64-66 truck I’m here to tell you it’s an absolute doddle. I bought brand new rear brackets from Brothers along with the new rear bumper and it all bolted straight up, (no grinding out holes or anything like that), they even come with new nuts and bolts.

Next task was to assemble a decent selection of exhaust bends and connectors
