It seemed like a good idea at the time , I was afraid of the harness more than anything. I may go back, Id like to do efi and a single turbo.....
Next winter lol.

On a side note, I just sold my 67, IMMEDIATLY regretting it, but its more cash for the 64.

Slammed66 · 03-01-2012, 02:53 PM

the engine swap was a bolt in, I got the engine from a buddy that does salvage.. low miler.

Slammed66 · 03-13-2012, 09:27 PM

Things have slowed down lately with the arrival of my newborn daughter, Iyla

then things picked back up!!!!

4 link brackets bag mounts and watts link brackets are welded up.

then back in and set up!!!

FINALLY IT ROLLS haha small victory for me!!!

that brings us upto date..

today was mounting the fuel cell... untill I ran outta mig wire... More soon!!

Notch1988 · 03-13-2012, 11:08 PM

Lookin' good Matt. And I ran out of mig wire last Friday LOL... bought a 5kg and 1kg roll for back up.

The nice thing about being so low is you can just reach OVER the tailgate to fill the cell...

Wow Matt, truck looks good, and so close. I see what you mean , if you hunker down she'll be done in no time. Wheels look familiar lol. Did you end up getting the right wheels and bolt pattern for the front? Next time I'm in Lacombe I am definetly seeing if your around and stopping by. Congrats on the newborn as well.
