I like that. I think I might use this... "done" and "finished" are never completely true in my case.

**cericd** · 01-26-2013, 08:50 PM

Hey Chad. How's it going? Anything new going on?

**CC69Rat** · 01-26-2013, 10:00 PM

Dad and I are changing out the wheel studs and finishing up the brake lines but were also (both of our houses) working on huge remodeling projects. Its pretty cold here so Id rather do the house stuff now so I can have some truck time in a couple weeks / month or so.

I have also changed jobs. I work for the state of TN now (911) IT Network admin. We had a big dispatch upgrade last week.. so I didn't get a lot done anywhere else.

How is your gold truck coming?

I to am changing the wheel studs all of them. Good luck my friend.

**CC69Rat** · 01-27-2013, 07:21 PM

The wheel studs in my McGaughys kit were way short. Im changing to the famous Dorman 610-298.1 It gives about 8 (?) More full threads.. 1/4 inch longer maybe? But it will help a bunch. I have a picture of the completed wheel but Ill post when I get home. Dont know how to do it from my phone.

. Theyre no longer officially Ford parts.

Just wanted to show your thread some love! Any updates on your porterbuilt parts?

shawno72 · 02-11-2013, 12:35 PM

Yeah Chad what gives?

**CC69Rat** · 02-11-2013, 02:46 PM

Dad and I both are up to our eyeballs in Home remodling projects. I am about to start hanging drywall in mine (complete gut and re-do, moved a wall, new electrical, tile shower, moved a jacuzzi tub, new plumbing, .. yeah. ALL of it..

Dad has put hardwood floors in, new tile in the kitchen now starting his bathroom.

The next step for my GMC will be front wheels. I am saving some $$, but I need to kinda hold off and make sure Eric's mom is ok. He's going to help me get them but I don't want to bug him at this stage. I need a couple more paychecks to build the fun money back up anyway. So, .. then 4-6 MORE weeks wait time for the wheels to be cut.

PB stuff should be here soon I hope. We still have brake lines, the Wilwood Prop valve and MC to install, etc.

The inner bedsides need to be sanded, worked and primed / painted. They both have some minor pitting at the bottom edge that will need to be fixed but a friend of mine quoted $450 for both of them, cleaned painted and ready to go back on. I just might let him do them.

We're getting REALLY close, but I will say it probably won't be long after I finish it the truck will be up for sale. I kinda need to focus the money on my family and the IVF route. I'm going to keep it through the summer and maybe August or so put it up for sale. I don't want to, I just kinda need to.

**nlped** · 02-11-2013, 03:20 PM

Oh God!!! Don't sell it! I understand the family thing though.

**CC69Rat** · 02-11-2013, 03:51 PM

Maybe something will work out. I'm going to just have to 'work' harder!

I'm tryin d@mnit!

If I can do it, the truck stays!

Bennett68C10 · 02-11-2013, 04:15 PM

You have put alot of time and effort into this truck, I hope you don't have to sell it. I do though understand that sometimes you have to do what you have to do. I wish I didn't have to sell my 72 but at the time I needed the money so the truck was sold. I still kick myself for that one. Can't wait to see some updates.

At least the "work" is way fun.

Posted via Mobile Device

knomadd · 02-11-2013, 11:24 PM

It would be a shame to put all that work into it just to turn around and sell it. I hope everything works out for you and you get to keep it. I almost can't picture the truck (pun intended)... It's been a while since we've seen it.

**CC69Rat** · 02-19-2013, 03:05 PM

One more paycheck fallas .. ONE MORE and I can order my front wheels.

My wheels and a carpet cover for the tank are the last things I need. Then some work on the inner bed sides and she's back on the road. I'm ready for spring!
