Here is the link to my WTB thread, it has detailed pics of my issues.... I just found that my floor has holes on the driver side below the clutch and above the seam too... that soundproofing seems to be hell on the floors... where the soundproofing survived is the only area that rusted through... New York truck so I can't complain I guess...thanks..

What parts do you need in trade for the L&R long bedsides and can you take pics of the tail light section???

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
 
Great project. I'm still finding things in boxes that I got with my basket case. My engine was supposed to be good too but I ended up building a new one. Giving away not needed old parts for free may just start a trend around here. I know I'll have a bunch when I'm done.

do you think it might be easier if I just weld some flat panels into those spots?

DOH!!! I'm always spoiling the suprises! Let's wait and see if someone needs them before we chop them up. Thanks for keeping me in mind.

If you decide to ship, I could use the center cross member( where the trailing arms attach). Also, you mention that you are shortening your longbed. Are you going to shorten the bedsides as well or just the floor? I sure would like to see how you would shorten the sides, so I could see the right way to do it before I cut mine. It would fit in with the budget theam as well. Great thread.

I could use 10" of frame length under the cab, both sides. I have some plans for the future.

Will these fit in a Flat rate box? If so let me know and I'll pay the $8.10 ;)

(PS - Flate rate boxes are free if you sign up on the USPS website, they
will deliver them to your door in groups of 25, seriously, can't beat that)

hey Kevin, i just remebered i have a 1969 short bed frame that was cleaned and coated in POR15 sitting out behind my garage.let me know. Tony

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
 
I could use the front 8" or so of the frame. The little section in front of the core support mount. A PO cut mine to install a homemade rollpan. Happy to pay shipping if you change your mind and decide to ship. Ship them with the slider window to jimmy dean? we are about 20 miles apart.

Thanks
Jason

Dam summit is fast less then 24hrs from order to my front portch:metal: And thanks to those who posted or sent PM's for cheaper HEI's but $100 for a new better than stock HEI complete was worth it to me. o guys if you are on a nickle and dime budget know you can find them for about $60 +- for a rebuilt from other places. For me piece of mind knowing it is all new is a good thing.

I almost for got $83 to the wonderfull state of Cali. for sales tax and reg.

If the rear crossmember is nice I can have my brother pick it up. He goes between Big Bar and Martinez regularly. Mine look like it was used to jack up a fully loaded camper special but it is a shortbed.

Let me know so I can let him know - thanks - Bob

Nother one of those..IF..you change your mind about shipping, I would take the visors and seat belts (you didnt mention them though). I have no problem giving you some cash for em.

If I decide to ship I will let you know but it is a heavy piece! Yes it will be a bed side and floor chop job for the shortbed.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
 
Kevin, a word of advise. I bought one of those HEI's from Summit and the star on the shaft that breaks the field was loose. When I excelerate it would retard and when I decelerate it would advance. Took me hours to find it. Thought it was the carb running lean.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
 
LFD... I'm interested in the underdash wiring... I assume it's a '69 w/ full gauges wiring harness? But, for that price I'll take it regardless. If you decide to ship, can I be first alternate... Gladly pay shipping...Plus donation to project.
You should post a reply of the list of parts your still needing. I may have a part or two you need.

It is out of a 67 and I do belive the glovebox door did spec guages as one of the options along with the 327ci. You are on the list I will contact you when things are ready. As far as parts I really am set as I have several project vehicals and this 70 came almost 100% complete just in pieces. Thanks anyways!

I also needed new wires and the best value I found for 8m wires w/90* plug ends for my headers was from Napa for $34.31 (part# 7002.44). This adds a total of $131.14 to our build. If I was not trying to keep this a low buck build I would have gone with DUI's HEI for about $255. but the one from summit will work just fine for my needs.

Too bad about that HEI, I have one that I would have given you for shipping. I am sure that there are others on here that will have parts for you also at little to no cost. Just my 2 Cents

Kevin, you could throw his harness in a box with my frame pieces and I would pay shipping. just send it all to Bryan and I'll get them from him this summer.
