Re: Worth Restoring- Dad's old truck
We've been busy this week. She's starting to show up. I'm able to spend full days over at my friends shop and he's given me the job of parts refinisher.
In these pics you'll see a couple of his sandblasting cabinet. We call it Red Green. Because of the duct tape holding the replacable lens on. As in " I'm going outback for awhile and getting my a** kicked by Red Green". As you can see, you kneel at this cabinet of torture. Can anyone name the car I'm using for a parts sorting table? The tail gate really gives me hope that we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel now. Our goal is startup by friday. Enjoy the pics! |

Re: Worth Restoring- Dad's old truck
Great work! When I first saw the car that is holding your parts up, I thought it was a 68-72 Nova. Now that I look at it more, I am thinking early 70's Challenger. Hmmmm...

Re: Worth Restoring- Dad's old truck
You guys are good! Yup, 70 Challenger. 340 and an auto. It got delayed on my friend's project list when my pickup snuck into line last fall.
After the Challenger is done, a nice little 67 Chevelle will get it's turn. Today should be fun, steering column, HVAC, carpet, radio etc. I'll try and post pics at the end of the day. Thanks for the comments guys! |

Re: Worth Restoring- Dad's old truck
Thanks!
No pics today. Too damn tired. How many parts that need detailed are there on a 38 year old pickup!!!? My dual cone speaker wouldn't fit today. It wouldn't allow the radio ( original am) to fit. The top of the radio hits the speaker before leveling out and coming through the dash. Anyone ran into this? |

Re: Worth Restoring- Dad's old truck
A few update pics. It was a great week! It may not look like much but for those of you that have done builds like this you know how much work is involved.
Heh Heh! Comments are are appreciated! Positive is better of course but constructive criticism and helpful hints are good too! Thanks for looking! |

Re: Worth Restoring- Dad's old truck
Pretty sure, you can get it through any restoration chain. I also believe you just hand form it onto the hose and into the hole on the a/c box. Trevor

Re: Worth Restoring- Dad's old truck
Here's a few for you guys that have subscribed. Notice the before and after of the ac lines. My brother came by and put in a few hours. Very nice and much appreciated.
It's coming along slowly but surely. We'll drive it next week! |

Re: Worth Restoring- Dad's old truck
Thanks srr! It's just an ol' stocker.
I finally ordered the wheels for it. I chose the Cragar Bonnevilles or 391 series. Here's a pic. I posted these over in General 67-72 to see if anyone is running a set. And if so, were there any issues? Of course, I'd really like to see a pic with them on one of our trucks also.
