Re: 1961 chevy crewcab cummins
Neat crew! I'm 99% sure I looked at that crew in Saratoga , Wy back in late 90's. The guy had that one and a bare 64-66 crew cab cab. Awesome rig!!!

Going to be a beauty rig! I'm subscribed for sure and a fellow 1st gen Cummins lover. Looking forward to seeing how this project comes together

Re: 1961 chevy crewcab cummins
jason spent the last couple evenings cutting and welding new metal into the drivers door jam. set the door to get good alignment between it and rocker.

To make the gauge cover flat, I cut each of the three circles out individually to a equal height And then permentently fixed them to the back of the flat lexan once lined up correctly with the gauges to it let light through for the gauges but pressed against the signal and other indicator housing. I will have to take a couple of measurements for you when I get back to the house. Here is a photograph of the back side of the cluster. I think I will be coming up with a new seal for around the plastic housing in order to keep out the dust. May be a door seal or something. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...ps244llkjt.jpg The rust repair is coming along great. You must send your guy my way when he's done hahaha. Going to be an awesome rig! |
Re: 1961 chevy crewcab cummins
I've been looking for a nice usable 62-66 chevy hood for quite some time now. couple weeks ago i was going to buy a new one, but they were out of them when i was there. I just got a text from my buddy jason that he found me a rust free hood that his boss (a fellow 60-66 chevy truck guy) donated to my project! Thank you boss!
