very interesting concept... are the window defrost holes not centered on the original dashes? Are you gonna fill them in too?

68 short step · 10-26-2008, 09:51 PM

not sure bout the defrost vents being sysmetrical, but they will be filled in and smoothed.....if you look carefully in the center of the dash i have a center line (in red) for my reffrence...

Looks great!

68 short step · 11-02-2008, 10:00 PM

got the steering column in, its a ididit tilt, column shift, chrome, one... the mounting positon had to be slighly moved over, do to the underdashed brake setup... to do away with the bungy cord, the upper part of the column mounting bracket was made from a portion of exhaust tubeing..... here is the pics...

babyblueoval · 11-02-2008, 10:13 PM

Ooooh.....It's soooo shiny.......

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-03-2008, 10:34 AM

I have a question about the mount on the fire wall side of the column. Where did ya get it and can it be used on a regular stock column?

68 short step · 11-03-2008, 07:32 PM

i got it from summit racing....they are called a steering column bulkhead, the one i got is 2.25" round... but you can get them in 2" diamater too (stock column OD size).

Painter D · 11-03-2008, 07:35 PM

Looks like it's coming along nicely.

I'm diggin the dash too.

ok....the last trans tunnel i made was fine with my mock-up cab mounts (2x4)..i had four 2x4 wood blocks i was useing for the cab mounts at the time i made the tunnel, but when i put the real bushings in, only the rear were the same thinkness as the 2x4... the front was not as thick, thus lowering the cab and trans tunnel....so my .5" clearance between the trans and tunnel went to touching each other........oooooooopppppppsssssssssss, i even knew better

so i cut it out and made another one, and this one flows better with everything else( like the dash) altho i know it'll be completely covered, least it looks good now

Very cool build. Are the guages going to be retro?

68 short step · 01-04-2009, 08:00 PM

a little update on the hulk, we're trying to get thing a roller....so i got a fo*d 9" and im in the process of narrowing, rebuilding, and smoothing....its gonna be narrowed 8.5" from the stock 12 bolt, or 50" houseing end to houseing end....
anyways here are a few pics

my67chevytruck · 01-04-2009, 10:55 PM

yes, it will be jigged up....basically a solid peice of round bar, thats perfectly streight, and 2 'pucks' that slide over the bar and into the bearing hole in the axle housings ends....if this doesnt make sense dont worry it will when i post the pics of the process...
