He said it was a rear ,then after I bought it he said it might be a front. I do have glasses. I just don't know where they are,

I hate wearing mine, but I have to.

sweet70beast · 03-22-2012, 11:53 PM

During these years the rear bumper and front bumper are the same(interchangeable), brackets are different.

rollinrooster · 03-23-2012, 08:01 AM

The rear bumper issue su&@!! Your luck must be like mine.

Between backordered parts and wrong parts I'm not getting much done this month.

Hope to get my cab back on this weekend. Welding up the exhaust today.

Strodder · 03-23-2012, 11:19 AM

Hey Dave I saw this in Classic Trucks this month. Kewl Tool for welding exhaust.

daverod · 03-23-2012, 03:54 PM

Now you show me. Too late. Done. Well, with the top half. It would be helpful.

OrrieG · 03-23-2012, 07:30 PM

I have used the angle trick, but with C clamp style vice grips for but welding round and tube stock.

rollinrooster · 03-24-2012, 09:43 AM

What kind of paint is on your tranny? Looks good.

Just some chevy orange engine paint.

padresag · 03-25-2012, 10:36 PM

have you gotten the exhaust done?
ron

daverod · 03-25-2012, 11:42 PM

Done except for the very end. I think I'm going to run it through my bumper? Not sure what to do about a rear bumper. I put my front one the back and it looked kinda funny. If I run my exhaust out the back it hits the ground if i raise the front of the truck up.

daverod · 03-25-2012, 11:44 PM

Just put my cab back on.

Lots to do now.

padresag · 03-31-2012, 01:48 PM

hey; how far from Cascade in mi and time. do you know?
ron

daverod · 03-31-2012, 01:59 PM

I think its about four hours. Why? Going on a road trip. I thought all you snow birds go north in the spring.

padresag · 03-31-2012, 03:10 PM

there is a Chesapeake specialty in Cascade in mid Sept that I thought that I might like to go to and the perhaps to Sebastipol,ca for maybe a new pup afterwards if they are ready. hopefully if the breeding goes as scheduled.
should be driving my truck by then.
why that spikey thing on your dog? for sniffing crotches?
ron

daverod · 03-31-2012, 03:40 PM

Everyone needs a new puppy. ya its for sniffin stuff.

Are you going to drive your truck to cal.?

daverod · 03-31-2012, 03:50 PM

few shots. Bumper came. It's a front. I'm going to get rid of it.

Kinda worried about the air line being so close to the header. It does have rubber in it right?

daverod · 03-31-2012, 04:04 PM

Got my cab bolted down. Started to do alittle wiring. Hoods got one Idaho winter on it.

yep, on driving truck. thought that it might be an interesting trip
what is it like coming down 95 from up north.
looks your 52 is progressing nicely. thought that the frt bumpers fit the rear?
ron

daverod · 03-31-2012, 04:52 PM

I would'nt know about 95 I never go anywhere, but you could be on the wrong coast. Can't wait for the trip be sure to take pictures as you go. It seems like the bumper is to round for the back. It needs to be flatter in the middle. I've seen a lot of trucks with no bumper. I think thats the way they came. Different part numbers at Classic parts, the front one is $10 cheaper. I might swap it for the one I have. It's nice except for about a quarter size spot were the chrome came off.

Dave; perhaps you can get some inspiration from this beauty, seeing that you have been sort of quiet lately. bottom of the page

daverod · 05-11-2012, 05:10 PM

Hay I've been busy walking around my truck. Lots of thinking and stuff going on. I have been getting some things done. Lack of cash, knowledge and skill seem to have no effect on me.

Whatever. Pictures to come.

Strodder · 05-12-2012, 09:47 AM

Hey Dave, keep at it. Your doin a great job.
