Did you do it or have it done? How much to rebuild it. I was thinking of just buying a new/rebuilt one. I just looked I see you did it yourself.

Thadious · 07-22-2011, 01:11 AM

Yep, did it myself... bought a rebuild video, and a Monster in a Box kit and went at it...

Monkey see, monkey do!

Haven't started the truck up yet... so can't say if it works or not... lol.

Cheers,
Ted.

sweet70beast · 07-22-2011, 01:12 AM

I priced a 700r4 through Idaho Transmission Warehouse in Idaho Falls and they quoted me a grand to buy one from them with a core or the same price if they rebuild yours. That was about 3 months ago when I talked to them.

daverod · 07-22-2011, 02:30 PM

I was looking on ebay seemed like some good deals there.

daverod · 07-23-2011, 03:29 PM

Rivit rivit.

Who needs a head liner. It's really quite solid. Couple more hours left. Think it'll get my windows tinted.

Strodder · 07-23-2011, 03:42 PM

It's going to glow in there when headlight lights hit it. Is that why your tinting the windows?

daverod · 07-25-2011, 02:52 PM

maybe... I think there ia also a paint that stops the reflection. I think by the time the seats are in and I put alittle curtain in the back window it will be ok. Went camping saw a couple cool old trucks. The patina on the orange one was very cool. Much brighter than the pic.

Rods57 · 07-25-2011, 11:23 PM

That's my kind of camping....

daverod · 08-07-2011, 05:24 PM

Went to a good car show at WestYellowstone. Saw a cool rat in the parking lot. Picked up a dead cow for my seat.

daverod · 08-07-2011, 05:27 PM

Like the gas gage idea. I'm going to use it with a keg for a tank.

slimneverdies · 08-07-2011, 10:09 PM

Hahaha. That cow hide goes on a mechanical bull. Don't ask me how I know

That first picture in post 459 sure looks like a lot of vintage iron there in the background... you did not find anything ???
The cow hide looks like a good seat cover or a fun winter rug in the Tipi

daverod · 08-07-2011, 11:04 PM

I went for a trip into the woods to get the rest of the truck I took the frame from and someone took the cab. They also took another truck that was there. It would have been some good yard art.

My bud said he found a coupe. He told me were to look but i did'nt find it. Said it had a good cab and grill.. Next weekend.

The guy at the car show wanted 1000 each for those bodies in the picture.

I love the hide I drove around all weekend with in the old ladies truck. Now I just have to find out what goes under it. All I have is the springs.

slimneverdies · 08-07-2011, 11:32 PM

I never like telling people what I do but.....

daverod · 08-08-2011, 08:49 AM

That thing looks like fun. Ya, you need my hide.

Strodder · 08-08-2011, 10:27 AM

Old truck hunting is better than hunting animals.

The trucks are already dead.

It all depends on what you consider fun... Hehehehe

daverod · 08-08-2011, 10:32 PM

I hope my seat turns out that nice. I still need to break it in.

99 to Life · 08-08-2011, 10:49 PM

Hey I noticed the Grease Gas and Girls tin you had hanging on the wall, I like that. I like the license plates. boy that is gonna be loud in there!!

daverod · 08-09-2011, 02:49 PM

I don't see why it would be loud. My 64 has a metal head liner. Oh ya I forgot it's kinda loud in there too. That's what the 7.1 surround sound is for. What?

The plates are really solid. I rivited them all together. It's kinda like a plate roll cage.

99 to Life · 08-09-2011, 09:49 PM

well, I say that because I only have a cardboard headliner and my cab gets loud with windows up or down. It sucks when you are trying to have a conversation with someone, I got quite a bit of deadener on the floor and firewall, I think next time I am going to undercoat the whole hood and under the inner fenders. I think they are the culprits.

anyway, when we gonna see a test drive??

padresag · 08-09-2011, 10:16 PM

do you need a set of plates from the motherland? Dave.
ron

daverod · 08-10-2011, 02:04 PM

I do have one from BC in my 64. But I'm always wantin some plates.

Most the ones in my 52 are new. I buy them in lots of ten from some guys that buys all the left over ones.

Test drive is still a ways off. I still need a lot of stuff. Wiring harness,keg tank, brakes/brake lines/gas lines/new transmission, driveline cut, exhaust, and on and on and on. If I stay busy during the winter I hope to have it running by summer. All depends on the money tree. Might have to cash in my gold teeth.

bubba327 · 08-10-2011, 11:28 PM

Get the Dawg to water the money tree!!!

daverod · 09-02-2011, 04:45 PM

I'm sick of watching this thing grow. I'm going hunting
