Few updates, stopped by the paint shop today and checked on my cab... hopefully have it back on monday. Also removed the stock rear crossmember and built a new one. Installed my blazer tank too.

Re: DLoE's Dropmembered 65 StepSiDe Build
 

Dloe, the truck looks killer :metal:, you just convinced me to stick with my inline 6. subscribed.

Re: DLoE's Dropmembered 65 StepSiDe Build
 

Nice man....It's on its way

Re: DLoE's Dropmembered 65 StepSiDe Build
 

DLoE - see you are in my neck of the woods - who did the machine work on the engine? Did they do the entire overhaul on it?

Re: DLoE's Dropmembered 65 StepSiDe Build
 

Santa Ana Speed Shop 714-835-6424 (Santa Ana,CA)did the whole overhaul, I supplied all the Parts and they did all the machine work and assembly, once I'm up and running I will take it back to them and they can dial it in.

Re: DLoE's Dropmembered 65 StepSiDe Build
 

Right on, that line looks killer!!
When I bent mine for my Tempest, I did a coat hanger first. Then it was bend to approximate the coat hanger, check it against the engine, bend a little more... repeat.

I ran fuel line and vacuum advance line side by side like that on that OHC6 230 of mine.

You have really got that motor looking good man!!

Re: DLoE's Dropmembered 65 StepSiDe Build
 

Deloe, your detail is killer... I think I found my 200R..for my 250.. thanks!

Re: DLoE's Dropmembered 65 StepSiDe Build

Re: DLoE's Dropmembered 65 StepSiDe Build
 

Hey I just noticed your fuel line goes from steel line to hose right over your exhaust manifold.
Even though you probably have 2-3" between them, are you going to slide a small heat shield in between?

Re: DLoE's Dropmembered 65 StepSiDe Build
 

beutiful engine.i really like the sixes,had a 68 panel truck with 4barrel and headers was a fun truck to drive.still hvae all of the parts and a 250 sitting on the staqnd waiting for a project. sometimes i think about taking my 350 out of the 64 and running the six . where abouts in orange do you live? i lived there for 40 years

Re: DLoE's Dropmembered 65 StepSiDe Build
 

Hey Mcmurphy, I don't think I'll need it, the picture is a little deceaving, the fuel line is like 3-4 inches away .. I'll keep a eye on it once I fire that badboy up. Gimmy- I live by the orange circle on the other side of the 55.
