Progress is starting to get back on track. Stripped and painted the motor stovebolt blue, with white valve cover and pulleys. Did a full regasket with new water and fuel pump

I hand lettered the valve cover as well....

greengrenade · 09-20-2016, 01:40 AM

Also started running the wiring for the e-level. Ran wire loom between the air lines to keep it tidy

Everything's looking really good, nice to see the six getting some love

greengrenade · 09-20-2016, 12:39 PM

Yea, the owner is doing an ls swap next year, but it didnt make sense to throw a grimey lookin engine back in a fresh chassis. Few cans of paint and it looks great. Im a big fan of clean inline motors, had a 235 in my 62. They look awesome when there done right

They sure do, here is a pic of my 261

So I am getting ready to put those cowle hood hinges on my 64. Any tips or suggestions to make it easier? I've got a vague idea of what I'm doing but could always use some pointers. Also how far down did you place the on the firewall and is there a reason why everyone I've seen has taken the heater box off? Thanks in advance truck is fantastic love the fab work. I have learned a lot from your work.

greengrenade · 10-12-2016, 02:09 AM

Heater box is removed for the trucks on air because the tire will hit otherwise. Most guys on bags run these hinges since the stock ones are on the inner fender brace and all that is pretty much removed when your on air for clearance. As far as the install goes, the owner of this truck actually installed them. Looked pretty straight forward though, and i beleive it came with instructions

greengrenade · 10-12-2016, 02:24 AM

Updates. Were having issues getting the alt pulley and power steering pulley lined up. As you can see there off quite a bit

Im thinking i can get a spacer behind the alt pulley since i have enough threads to space it out, and then i can modify the power steering bracket to bring the pump forward. Heres a pic of the shaft on the alt, should have enough room to get a spacer behind it

Got the engine back in for the final time

Distributor back in, plug wires etc

Whipped up some hard lines for the fuel and vent, hooked up throttle linkage, choke, coolant and oil lines etc

Started running the e level wires for the controller, relay and power up the framerail

greengrenade · 10-12-2016, 02:34 AM

My buddy decided he wanted to run a GMC grill so we got that mocked up. I gotta do some tig repairs to the mounting flanges

We painted the back of the cab black to help it disappear in the gap between the bed and cab

Welded up the license plate holes in the front bumper and sprayed it white. Had issues with the paint so it still needs to be resprayed

Front clip back on for good, sprayed the inside of the fenders, top edge of the fenders and inner panel behind the grill all black

Hood on and lined up nice

Mocked up the side trim for a quick peek

Whipped up some battery cables, supplies are from del city. Put a solder slug into the terminal, put flux on your bare wire, heat the terminal/solder slug and press the bare wire in for a rock solid connection. Then heat shrink over the joint

I also tig'd the final u joint on the steer shaft so the entire steering linkage is done and working great

greengrenade · 10-12-2016, 02:37 AM

Clean 261 you got there bud. Sorry if i dont reply too much guys. Im not on here much at all. Just enough to update the thread

Thanks man, awesome progress you are making here! It's starting to look like a truck again. I think the gmc grille suits the trick well

gringoloco · 10-12-2016, 11:27 AM

Coming along nicely!

greengrenade · 12-13-2016, 08:26 AM

Sorry guys havent updated in forever. Lotta progress since the last post

Re painted the front bumper after a re sand due to a few skeeters that landed in the paint haha. Also painted the rear bumper

Rolled the truck out to clean up the shop. Snagged a few night time pics for the hell of it

Whoever did the lettering on the tailgate did a horrific tape job and a terrible attempt at shadowed letters. Heres a pic of that masterpiece lol. You can see the letters dont even match the stamped shape on the tailgate.

So i re sanded everything.....

Masked off new letters and sprayed white on the panel around the letters. Little different look as opposed to the typical white letters on most trucks

Im going to be doing a black pinstripe around the letters and around the perimeter of the raised panel as well. Should accent it well

Mocking up side trim and hubcaps..

Trim installed with inner section painted, bumpers on. Lookin good

Couple front end shots....

The truck is now officially out of my shop. My buddy who owns it is buttoning up all the tiny stuff with his dad at the moment; power steering lines, belts, misc odds and ends. Should be finished up within the next few months. Winter is here and its cold as hell lol. Ill post updates once the trucks done. just started dabbling in photography so ill grab some good pics for you guys at that point too. For now im on to building my 54 ford. I just bought the car back after 6 yrs. i sold it when i was 17 and always wanted to build it so i bought it back to do so. Its also my daily driver. Kinda off topic for here but heres a pic. Traditional 50's kustom, 7" rear/ 6" front drop, whitewalls and original stainless 48-52 caddy sombreros. Gonna do a pale gold roof and all new tuck n roll interior. Already did a 5 speed swap as well

**66ChevyMax** · 12-13-2016, 10:26 AM

Truck turned out great!

greengrenade · 12-17-2016, 05:10 AM

Pinstriped the tailgate tonight

Before......

After.....

1hihum · 12-21-2016, 02:19 AM

Damn you've got this thing looking nice! Great work

**roushinator** · 12-28-2016, 12:42 PM

Nice work!!!

slamgears · 01-18-2017, 05:02 PM

Just went through this whole thread, build is SO sick. Stealing some of your ideas for sure hahaha, your fab skills are stupid good dude.
Also saw your Boh sticker which made me check your location, I work 5 minutes from Riverside, in Belcamp.
Looking for a cleanish '63-'66 to do a similar thing with. On air, just not with Accuair money haha and I don't have your fab skills at all.
If you know of any 63-66 trucks around the area though let me know man, i'm on the hunt!

84blaze · 01-21-2017, 10:57 PM

Looks great dude

greengrenade · 01-23-2017, 03:58 AM

Thanks so much guys

Slamgears where do you work? Riverside/belcamp is the same area really. I live like 200 yards from the arbys right there at the 543 intersection. Ill keep an eye out for a truck for you. If your local swing by the garage sometime. Its down in joppa about 6 miles from belcamp

slamgears · 01-23-2017, 08:23 AM

I work for Gemalto, down on 40 in the business park with Booz Allen and all the military contractors. Yeah I go right up 543 on my way home, used to live in Essex but I just bought a house in PA to get out of MD. I figured by your pictures as big as your shop looked it couldn't be anywhere right in Belcamp haha So I guess you're down off 40 or route 7 somewhere?

And yeah I've seen a couple trucks but far from anything for a build. Hoping something pops up up here or in MD so I don't have to go drive 3 or 4 hours just to get something.

greengrenade · 01-24-2017, 02:22 AM

The garage unit i rent is down off 40 in joppa. Not too big, 20x25 but it gets the job done. Got a few buddies building some cool projects in there units too

greengrenade · 01-31-2017, 02:31 AM

We got the truck fired up and out of the garage under its own power. Timing needs to be set still and some odds and ends buttoned up. Grill still needs to be installed as well but its almost completely driveable. Managed to snag some pics as the sun went down before it got totally dark

**youngrodder** · 01-31-2017, 11:58 PM

Looks great...Something magical about the first time out of the garage under power.

greengrenade · 05-17-2017, 01:51 AM

Just realized i havent posted on here in FOREVER. Truck is out and about running pretty good. Had some bugs to work out but all in all, no complaints. My buddy got the GMC grille in, needs to find a tailgate to match eventually, but for now itll do. Heres some photos i took over the past few months. The truck has managed to get a few pics on accuairs instagram page, the feedback has been pretty killer......
