Re: 67 long box

Putting in the 0ne blocks seams strange me wanting to raise my truck but It will look better and ride better. I noticed that I never put in the bump stops so they are in mow too.

Re: 67 long box

My cover plate had too much flex so I put a bead in it old school style. Bent a piece of 1/4 round bar and beat the bead in with a hammer.

Thanks man , I have talent and not a lot of money. It can be a nice truck if you do the work your self to keep costs down. Every thing I can't do is something I've not learned how to do.

Re: 67 long box

Put the engine and tranny together and dropped them in the truck. Literally dropped it, the hoist hydraulics broke and down it went. Not a lot of major work to repair but what a piss off. I didn't even get a scratch so all is good. All cosmetic paint work and engine / tranny are fine.

I was very lucky just about crushed some fingers, but all good. I'm not doing to bad, this is only the second one I've dropped trying to do it myself without help. Stubborn old man won't ask for help. Just let it fall and fix the damage path.

Re: 67 long box

Installed the new tranny mount and it looks great. I found out the clutch master was going to be too close to the exhaust so only other option was on the other side. Then had to add to the master push rod to reach the pedal. I'm going to replace the made piece with a heim joint. I made a cover plate that seals against the old grommet to fill the manual clutch rod hole.

Re: 67 long box

I appreciate the offer, but actually I was referring to your joke about the CNC grinder. Great work as always sir.

Re: 67 long box

Had a good day today and got lots done. Still waiting on the slip yoke and not sure what's going on with it. Makes it hard to seal the tailstock without one.

Absolutely, but I'm gone on that weekend to the cottage. But I'll be home some of those days. I'll let ya know what days I'm here after I consult with the boss that's sleeping right now.

Looks as good as if the General himself assembled it! When do you think you will get to fire it?
