Project two tone.

[TJ's Chevy]

Here's a part number for the cable you will need, Stainless Steel Housing TC-1000HT, Black SS Housing XTC-1000HT, and Black Housing TC-1000U. You will also need a throttle cable mount. You can go on to WWW.Lokar.com for those. T.J.

Dang man! this thing is getting nice! Love the blue i always wished i had a can of blue paint in my hand when i started on my 64 lol! I think if i could do it again since i'm already doing a blue truck is satin black with a silver roof like how the white is on the 64. Then do the inside gloss black and silver. I wish i had your parts truck! my next dream is a 63 chevy 3/4 ton 2wd long bed step side with an org auto trans. Maybe then i can buy a car for a project get these dam trucks out of my system haha...

Thanks Man! Yeah it was hard parting out the 64, my original plan was a full resto for it, but for some reason we always need more and more of this $$$$, Why is that??? There was a 62 according to your specs for sale here 4 years ago.....Anyway I know of EVERY 60's truck in Medford, Grants Pass and Cave Junction, so I'll keep my eyes pealed. Reason beiing is I have literally called every stinkin junk yard in Oregon! HAHAH! And on our roads it is never a suprise to see one driving or one sitting. There's a 63 that's been sitting for 8 years and hasn't moved an inch and the owner still won't sell it! Believe me, if you buy a nice parts truck like the 64, you will be crying when you use it for parts!

[TJ's Chevy]

For Dillon Rock. I don't think you will want these. Bious tires are scary brand new let alone this old, and radial tires are scary when they dry rot! And UGH! Split rims!

[TJ's Chevy]

Put the parts truck to good use....holding its own parts!

[TJ's Chevy]

Well, I'm in need of a Spare tire carrier for the short box. If any one knows or has one for sale please let me know. Been raining here the past few days and gettin colder so haven't done much on the rig. Thanks. T.J.

[TJ's Chevy]

Moved 4 loads of sifted dirt.

The truck looks great. I like your mod to use the lokar gas pedal. I have been wondering about that and now that I've seen yours I just might go for it.

Thanks for the compliment! I have a lokar catalog so if you need part numbers let me know. T.J.

The truck is looking good. There are a bunch of early trucks scattered around cave junction and obrien. You are in parts truck heaven.

Thanks! Only seen a few around. Maybe I should hunt a little harder. Problem is no-one wants to sell them! I've seen 4 trucks sit for eight years and the owner says "One day I'll restore it". Then when he decides he's not going to he says "5,000 for it, can't find many of these! It's a classic". Drives me nuts why people think something is worth its weight in gold when it scrap metal! Anyway thanks for the compliments! T.J.

nice man gotta love how much power these trucks have in the working and off road department. I actually worked some tonight on getting some different tires on the rear of the 64 on the org rims they are the same as the front the 31's are getting old.

Yeah! I need a bumper sticker that say's "Farm Truck. Over loaded and under powered"! Wait a minute...Chevys are never under powered!

[Dillon Rock]

Lookin Good there T.J., from that angle, the truck has a good stance to it almost that of a sleeper.

Thanks, I was surprised it did not sink to bad. Hauled those load just fine though. It's truly an ol farm truck!

[TJ's Chevy]

Bump. So what's a good cool weather weekend project on these? Besides driving it! having a blast, but tired of boring everybody around here with no progress. Just as a warning there might not be much tell next summer when work gets better and I can start painting! And time!

[FatFenderGarage]

Nice project. I think these are great trucks. I would like to work on one of these. Just trying to find the right one. Keep up the progress.
