I can see the light!
This is a household light socket that the po put in. I put a 12 volt bulb in it and it works!

That's so cool. Years ago I used to use a five watt bulb in household socket hooked to my CB radio. It would light up when you talk or modulate. Really neat way of testing the radio.

Thanks, Sounds like a good idea

First day of Christmas break, so I got busy. Built a 1bbl to 2bbl adaptor plate out of aluminum. Ported and polished the inside so it should flow pretty good. Then I got started on the linkage, the pic below is the pedal assembly after I flipped the arm so when I give it gas it pulls instead of pushing. Then I built a rod with bends that goes from the pedal arm to the carb. Here's a video: http://youtu.be/PU0i3WgsB0Y

Nice work on the linkage.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Looks good. That a carb off a gmc v6?

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Thanks guys. No the carb is a carter that I got for free from my dad's plymouth sine he went to a 4bbl.

Made a cross member to put between the frame rails for the gas tank straps to bolt to. I will weld it in place later today.

Made some gas tank straps

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Cool, has the carter seemed to make a difference?

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Not a huge difference but defiantly helps

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Ok no pics right now but I finished all of the gas tank straps and mounts and bolted the tank in. Now it's time to pull it back off and get the bumper mounted so I know where to cut the hole for the gas filler.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Started working on mounting the bumper. Built one of two brackets that will be welded to the bumper and bolt to a piece of angle iron that will go inside the frame rails. I made the holes oblong so that the height of the bumper can be adjusted.

Number 2 is finished. The old set of files is sure getting a good workout

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

I found this inside my radio

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Nice work on the bumper brackets. Did you really make the slots with a file?

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

X2, Nice work. :chevy:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Thanks guys. Yes I made them with a drill press, a hacksaw but mostly files. Took a while. Times like these when a cnc plasma cutter would come in handy:lol:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Installed my Christmas present! Sun pro super tach 2.
I'm impressed with the quality, compatibility and look.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Nice! :metal:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Cool

I am also 15. I am doing a 1964 k10. Go on youtube and check out "gibson63" He is doing a 1963 chevy. He does some of the best work i have seen. shows the steps in great detail. I would go and watch some of his videos. he is amazing.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Hey I'm 16. Nice to see another guy my age here. lol 4X4's rock! I've seen many of Gibson's videos. He has a sweet truck. He's apart of this club. Username "Boat." He pops up once in a blue moon. Hope your truck is going well. :chevy:

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
 

Hey! Great to see more young guys on here. I would like to see what your doing to your truck. Do you have a build thread? What are your plans? I've seen some of gibson63's videos and he does great work.
