Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

thanks Dale!
been real busy at the new job, lots of out of town work, makes for long days....
and stupid me, happened to mention to buddy on my model site i was building a stock looking '60. well, the nerds on that site actually write in to ask how many turns on a ford ttb coil (huh ???, like who would sit there & count them & go that's not accurate.....) so i been making more alterations to the frame to make it more "accurate". harder building them stock than modified..lol
tubular motor mount, divorced t-case crossmember, added some more crossmembers & started the spring hangers

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

got some "accurate" axles, d44 & h033... made some springs but have'nt bent them yet, really hoping SU gets them seven-five luggers happening, could use the other ones , but they just dont give it that "look"

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

Glad the job is working out. I'm digging the truck, it's looking great! I prefer the rear step too.

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

Im glad i could offer up that idea! My dads 60 was a base model that an Arizona school district had purchased new, then he became the third owner. I wish he still had that truck today, was a fun truck to cruise in.

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

getting closer Dale! was hoping to lay some paint this weekend, but boss asked us to work today (sat) so that kinda slowed things right down (loving the awesome hrs & money though )
well there was some damage from the dented box that i never noticed, & of course, highly visible....
the grille was all dented & bent, so i tried to cut it open & straiten them-fail, then i cut out the center & re-barred it with some 025 rod

had planned on finishing the bodywork today....not going to glue these tires on for now. the guy who casts them seven-fives just finished moving, so he's hoping to get them back on track quickly. and the mirror was also broke. stuffed the broke piece in the hole & made a new mirror that i think looks better mounted further back than the stocker

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

i'm going to combine it with this stepper i got last yr, into (what else!) a crewcab. i want to put it on 49" iroks, but for now it will get the spare desert dawgs from the Deserter truck.... mail...

no mail, cant order, no decent bench seats left, so i ground the rear seat out of the '70 impala tub, it will become the rear seat when the int goes together

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

after 3 days in the stripper, the body was starting to look good. got the basic cab together. since both trucks were regular cabs, there was not enough roof without a gap, so i had to add a half inch of 030 to close up the roof. and this one is NOT going to be stock need to do something big & bad
this was plan "B", 37" dawgs-just not bad enough....

our posties are back at the bargining table, still delivering, so i took a chance last nite on plan "A" and ordered some 49" iroks for it. i hope they make it here and not end up in never ever land...
i scaled the height roughly, somewhere around here....yeah, that should do it...

and i found these old firebird buckets that sort of match the rear, made some headrests to try make them look more alike...just waiting for the other int to come out of the stripper, then build a crew tub
