motor looks good rick!

If you ever have your intake off, spray it with some 'eagle one etching mag cleaner' it'll clean it up nicely!

what did you paint your manifolds with?

get out and work on the truck (sorry i was givin you crap but i forgot you guys are getting drenched over there!) lol

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
 

well my dad said he wnted me too put a wheel back on because it wasnt safe and all i did was make my hood sit down in the back and bolted the sway bar down to the a arms for the first time

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
 

talked to a local body guy and he says that we need to cut from the body line down on the passenger bed side in front of the wheel so that is one more thing to the list

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
 

Cool pics! Is it raining at your place? It's been pouring here for about an hour now.

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
 

it is barely even sprinkleing here

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
 

:lol: Looking good Rick I keep forgetting to post in your thread but you've come a long way and body work isn't to bad I actually like doing it for some reason so if me and eric ever come to visit you I'll help out with the sanding and I'll even bring my own paint gun to play with :lol:

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
 

that sounds really good! ill supply the paint:D ya i am tired of seeing it just sit there and move when i push it , it is time for it to do somthing under its own power!!!!!:metal::metal::metal: glad you like the build

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
 

I know what you mean I would love it if mine would be able to move under its own power so I can finish the body work on the pass. side

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
 

i may be skinny but i can push it with no problem so that is not a problem

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
 

What all do you lack on making it run/drive?

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
 

Well for me since im doing a disk brake swap I need new brake lines, and a 5 lug rear, 5 lug wheels, a torque converter for my trans, wiring, drive shaft, complete front end rebuild, mc and booster, also fuel lines and thats just bare minimum if I dont do anything with the body work or the interior.

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
 

i lak the following: brake pads and calipers, brake lines , all brackets and pulleys for front of engine , power steering pump and lines, radiator hoses and clamps , spark piugs wires ,fuel lines ,transmission lines , ignition and wiring ,engine harness ,battery tray and battery ,bolts for torq converter , drive shaft and drive shaft bolts ,shift linkage , gas , registration , annnnnnd that i sit how about this being my list and i will check it off when i get a part

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
 

Wow Rick I thought I still needed alot but dang I forgot who gave me this suggestion but they told me to write everything down I needed and have on a whiteboard and when I got a part I needed move it over to the other list along with a calender for that month so you can break the big project down into smaller ones like priming the truck break it up to this week sand down the cab next week prime it the go to the bed it helped me out but since I dont have a whiteboard I just have a sheet of paper thumbtacked above my desk to remind me what I still need to do. It helps alot when keeping track of parts especially if you're not 100% sure if you have it.

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
 

ohh trust me i have millions of papers of lists and lists of what i needed and it has gottn smaller spike 38 just might have the e brke cables for me so thats a start :metal:

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
