[64chevtruck]

Hi guys, thank you. Ive been driving it alot and loving it. I should have few small updates to post soon.


Have a good week

[Lowl!f3]

64 chevy, did you ever try and test fit a 2500 bag in the front because the 2600 was touching?
I have not gotten to this point on mine yet. Im pancaking now

[creep]

Very cool, man! I like that you ran the bed wood side to side instead of long ways like the original wood.

[64chevtruck]

Hi guys, Sorry I been away for a bit,

Low, No I didnt try a 2500, Think they would be big enough for the front a these trucks>?

Thanks Creep, I just did what was Cheep.

[64chevtruck]

Howdy, I still need to raise my steering on my 64 and also the transmission, I been driving it alot and the only new updates are a cover for my gas tank and a HI TECH leveling system,


I been sidetracked a bit im afraid, Im on a mission to own a chev or gmc truck from every generation,

Meet my new 70 GMC, I guess Ill have to start another thread on the 67 thru 72 forum,

Have a good week.

Great job on the truck. Diggin' the bed!

[1963c-10]

Nice job.....truck is looking good!!!

[64chevtruck]

Thanks fellas. Ive been driving the truck all summer, Fall is here now so its time to put it in the shop till spring,

I actually got a chance to buy a frame for these trucks that has already had a Z welded into it! I picked it up the other day so now its time for sandblasting and getting it into a rolling state, Then Ill put all my parts on it.

Have a good weekend,

[64chevtruck]

Here is the frame I bought for my 64. Ill reinforce the sectioned area and clean it up, but the guy who did it welded it up pretty good and this was in a running truck already,

The guy put a small C notch in the frame for some reason...... I have a 10 inch step notch on the bench Ill be installing as soon as I get the small one cut out. Once that is done; and I get my pancaked crossmember an other goodies on it my 64 will set the frame on the ground.

Id like to run these Mickey Thompson tires on it also, 29/18.5/15

Oh yea I just got Big Red, a 79 GMC 3500 454/400 to add to the FLEET!

Have a good week.

[rickoner]

Nice project you have going on. Can't wait to see it done.

If that's a bolt in notch that you're taking out and you'd like to sell it, pm me.

[Cooper197]

I know those tires are bigger than they look, but from that picture they kind of look like they belong on a golf cart!

[64chevtruck]

Hi and thanks,

Rick Ill sell you that c notch for sure, It seems to be a super thick one. like over 1/4 inch I think, Its a bolt in but someone put large tack welds on the inside of it that Ill have to cut out.

It may be a long time before the truck is done but I should have that notch out within a month or so.

Coop that would be one badass golf cart!

Have a good week.

Hi guys, Its been a while since I did anything but drive my 64, I got sidetracked trying to collect a chev or gmc truck from every generation, I have 5 in the fleet at this time but still got a ways to go.

So the plan is to prep the Zd Frame I bought, Make it a roller, and put my 64 body and parts on it, It will be my first frame up resto.

I bought a stock disk front end from a 71 truck the other day for 150. Just a pile of great parts,

First up is to pancake/section the crossmember 1.5 inches. This seems to be the magic number for this, any more and you get steering issues.

The Green crossmember I sectioned for my 64 was dropped 2 inches, and had to be shimmed back up a half inch to make the tie rods clear the frame.

Front end taken apart, and Crossmember pressurewashed and ready for surgery.

Have a good week.

[64chevtruck]

Hi guys, Im just now getting the bed back on my 70 gmc and getting it ready to drive this summer, Ive got my 64 up on stands and ready to tear apart down to the frame.

I got one evening on it so far, the plan is to cut this frame in half, and put the front half of the Z frame I picked upon it, Then clean and paint every part that goes back on for my first frame up restoration.

Probably going to get a 454 and turbo 400 in there too.


Have a good week,

[64chevtruck]

Hi, Got the doors off, RF fender, grill, rear end out, seats out,

Man there sure is alot of bolts holding the front end of these trucks together, Most of them rust/welded into place too,

Ill try to get the rest of the front end off tonight and maybe the cab,


Have a good day,

[64chevtruck]

Hi, I got the rest of the front end off finally, Ready to pull engine and trans, Crossmember, Steering box, then the cab, then start alot of clean up and painting.

Have a good week

[64chevtruck]

Howdy Folks, I finally got caught up on side stuff and back to my 64, I got the engine, crossmember, and cab pulled off, then took the trans and drive line out the top.

Got the Z frame in the shop next to the other one, Getting ready to take the back part of my original frame and weld the front of the Z frame on it,

Sand blast alot of stuff,,,,,,paint stuff,,,,,, buy stuff......,you know the drill.

[64chevtruck]

The new plan for the 64 is to remove the 454 and T400 from my red one ton and use them to power it.

Ill put a running motor back in big red later for sure.


The plan is to get the frames marked out, cut, and tacked together tomorrow on mothers day. And finish welded and and sand blasted monday. We will see how it goes,


Take care.

[64chevtruck]

Howdy, here we are on tuesday got the frames cut up, welded up, but still need to get it blasted, got to work on the blaster today, may end up taking it to a shop and getting it done by a pro.



Have a good week.

[64chevtruck]

I took a section of the spare frame and cut it in half for the patches,,,,,Veeola

[Average Joe]

[64chevtruck]

Have a good week.
