Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I was glancing through the thread and saw where you said the wheel-wells are different on a short and long bed. Please point out the difference if you get a chance.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Well not alot of things have been going on with LowBuck because my comuter car is in the shop so I have been driving LowBuck daily. So far I have put over 4k miles on it since getting it back on the road but tonight I made progress by getting the in dash temp gauge working. I had a friend make an adapter that uses the stock 1/2npt sender but screws into the 3/8npt head location and it works great. Then the shop across the street owed me a few favors so he had time to charge up my vintage air syatem. He was wanting to get about 40* out of the vents but when it charged up it was right at 34*:metal: Now I just need the hot weather to get here so I can enjoy it.
As soon as the honda is out of the shop I will get the Line-X put in, drop it off at the alarm shop and tweak the sterio a bit. So what is a good alarm system to get as it has been ten years since I have had one. Back then the Viper was one of the best but not I have no idea. Kevin LFD Inc. |

I am starting to look at sterio equip and trying to decide were and what I want to run. I don't want to spend over 1k on the system and I already have the deck. My doors are already cut so I might make a lower fiber glass panel with a nice set of 6" w/seperate tweaters angled up tward the other pass then a 10 or 12 behind the seat. I don't want alot of base but I do want a full sound when doing 70 down the freeway. Were are you all placing speakers to get the sound up at chest/head levels? Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
This is what I thought about doing. Cool thread! There's a LWB down the street from me that looks solid for 1,800. It would make a good dump/work truck until it could be restored to it's swb glory. The only problem is the wife wants a '73-75 Chevy 4X4(not that it's a real problem). I need a bigger garage before she'll let me get another project. Thank you for the detailed thread with good pics. Beautiful truck!
Some more work pics! http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...bucktrazer.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...rln/mort11.jpg Kevin LFD Inc. |
Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Great job! I just read all 41 pages. My Dad and I will be starting on our 67 tomorrow morning. We have been taliking about doing one of these trucks for at least 15 years now. I finally found one last week, a long bed, also soon to be a shortie. This has been one of the best threads I have ever read.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Well not much progress on Low Buck in the last month or two. I did just finish my Napa Volt meter upgrade and I will post a pick later on today. I have been having Alt problems for the last several weeks as in burned up 3 alts two were new remans. I think it was just a fluke because I checked all my wiring and it seems fine. I am getting #3 of the remans today and will see how it does. They are 140amp alts for the 92 vett motor but my luck just has not been that good I guess.
I did just notice that the view count on this thread is over 100,000 WOW I wonder if I get a door prize now. I did not even know our counting window would suport that much! Kevin LFD Inc. |
Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Do you have a local electric guy available to go thru your alternator? I've had pretty bad luck with re-man parts house stuff like that.
Dude, everyone pops in to look at this thread on a regular basis! |
Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
No we just kepted putting them on the tester to see if they were good before I put them on. My motor came with a 124amp alt and when it went out last month I steped up to the 140amp option for that yr motor and after 2 being no good after being installed for less then 1 day we decided to go back to the 124amp alt thinking that maybe they have a bad batch of the 140's. I changed it out today and got the volt gauge installed in the dash behind the stock bezel (thanks Gringoloco for the thread http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=251017 ) and went for a drive. I drove around for about 2hrs with the duel engine fans running and the A/C blasting and it never ran so good or at least not in the last month or so or it could just be I have not driven anything but my work honda civic since this started.
The gauge swap went well, I used a $14 volt meter gauge from Napa auto parts and Gringo's thread to put a new gauge behind the factory gauge face. It went well and since I did not do anything different than his build thread I figured I would let you read his for info. Now the only gauge that is not working is my Vacume gauge that really is an Air psi gauge from a c60 or somthing but the new dash plastics only come with "Vacume" as the fouth option for the small gauges. I did hook up the tubing adapter and tested the gauge and it works great. I will hook this gauge up to my rear air bags that I use when towing but so far I have been lazy and have not installed the switch that will activate the bags from inside the cab. I have the switch and it is a simple three way rocker switch that will inflate and deflate the bags with out an electric valve. It is not the best way to go but it is very LOW BUCK and since it is not for suspnesion I figured why not. I also still need to get the bed line-X'd but I have been spending my toy money on my sons truck. It is a 51 Ford F1 that is getting a 95 T-bird IRS rear set up with disk and bags . The front is getting a TCI MII with PS, Disk, tubular A arms, sway bar and bags as well. Then I picked up a 2005 5.3L Vortec with a 4l60E with only 22k miles on it. I am keeping the body stock with 50 plus yrs of Patina wear to it with some steel rims, trim rings and caps sitting on the running boards. I have all the parts but I blew out my back a few weeks ago so I am a few customer builds behind in the shop. I am starting to feel much better and hope to be back to work in another week or so than once the curent customer build is done I will roll the F1 in and get started on it. I will post a link to that build thread since it will be on a Ford site;) Take care. here is what I am starting with. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b20/rokcrln/f14.jpg And this is what we will end up with. I think my son will have the coolest truck in his Daycare:lol: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b20/rokcrln/f19.jpg Kevin LFD Inc. |
Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Rok,
I had a similar problem until I installed a resistor to simulate the idiot lite in the OEM car. Here's a link that discusses it: http://www.madelectrical.com/catalog/cs-130.shtml |
