Thanks for looking in. I appreciate the comments.

Today was an awesome day for Sanity. For the first time in a couple of years, the cab and body were joined back together.

**pdxhall** · 08-22-2014, 04:29 AM

I was diggin' it so much that I just HAD to bolt a couple more body parts up to get a better look.

Bomp · 08-22-2014, 05:48 AM

Sanity has come along ways. Looking really good Brett.

Looking awesome. Bet seeing it like that was a real motivation booster.

aggie91 · 08-22-2014, 03:18 PM

Its a great feeling when it starts to go back together.

Looks GOOD!

1963c-10 · 08-22-2014, 03:51 PM

Looks great!!!! Almost done.

Thanks siggy. Yeah its a huge motivaor but I have to stay focused on getting the parts stripped, blasted, and painted while the weather is nice. I've got a bunch of stuff ready to bolt on but I'm trying to save that for the rainy season which could show up at any time.

Thanks Budman, I appreciate it. I'm really wanting to get the seat upholstered. I just need to find the right place to do it.

The only other thing I got done this weekend is to get the lower radiator mounts measured, the holes drilled, and some paint on the crossmember.
Next weekend I'll get them bolted back up.

Moving right a long. do the cpp motor mounts move the motor forward? looks like a lot of room if you were to run a hei dist.wish my sons truck was that far along

I installed the mounts in the front holes so it did move the engine forward about 2 1/2". You can use them in the original position if you drill a hole for the bottom bolt. The upside is the room for the distributor and I just like the way it sits in the engine bay. The downside is you'll probably need to run an electric fan since the engine will be closer to the radiator. I am running the serpentine pulley setup with the reverse flow water pump and I've got 4 1/2" to work with or go with a pusher fan in front of the radiator. I've been looking at fans, though, and I can get something to squeeze one in between.

The truck is really coming along nicely!

Thanks man. It was very slow moving at the start but I've been able to make great progress this summer.

I'm having a garage sale next week, Sept 5-7. Besides all the household items and misc. stuff we've accumulated over several years, I am selling some of the parts off of Sanity that I don't plan on using. I posted a partial list on the "for sale" thread but I've got a few more things also that I don't want to bother shipping such as a trans crossmember, 2 tailgates, a pair of seat tracks, and a bellhousing and flywheel. If any of you local guys want to stop by, even just to talk trucks, you're certainly welcome to do so.
My address is:
1031 NE 177th Ave.
Portland, OR

**LostMy65** · 08-31-2014, 08:33 PM

When you started on this, I for some reason didn't imagine you making such huge updates and upgrades. Looking at what you've done and your garage sale, Man! you are making this truck brand new. I'm still watching for your custom seat build.
Looking real good.

Looking real good.

When I first started, I didn't think I would be able to get some of the things I wanted because of lack of money. Luckily things turned out better than I expected and I have been able to do the drivetrain the way I really wanted to. I've also got full support from my wife on this build and that always helps with the budget.

I am hoping on getting the seats upholstered this winter. I'm looking for an upholstery shop now.
Thanks for looking in.

**LostMy65** · 08-31-2014, 09:00 PM

I have a good friend that might be able to help you with your upholstery.
PM me if you're interested.

Very cool build! Great work

Thanks, I appreciate you checking in on my build.

**pdxhall** · 09-06-2014, 05:38 PM

It' been a busy couple of days but no work on my sanity.

The garage sale is taking all my time and also space to work. Besides what I've posted in the for sale section, here are a few other "garage sale only" items I've got just because I don't have the time to ship large items right now.

**pdxhall** · 09-06-2014, 05:43 PM

more stuff

rusty76 · 09-06-2014, 06:33 PM

I never see stuff like that at garage sales around here.

**pdxhall** · 09-07-2014, 02:48 AM

Yeah, I'm not having much luck. No truck guys have showed up. It would be a pity to have to scrap some of these parts but I'm not going to be able to store them so I need them gone. Sunday is bargain day for sure.

**TJ's Chevy** · 09-07-2014, 05:33 PM

Nice nice!!! Starting to look like a truck again!!!
