Re: My 65 Build

Man its nice seeing all that new color sprayed.

I'm hoping to do exactly what your doing. Everything I touch I want new paint on it because there is nothing worse than putting old stuff back on that looks like its old.

HighJack time

As for the bed bolts. I sprayed everything with PB blaster and let it soak for a day or so. Hit it again and followed it up with a little torch so the liquid would heat up and soak into the metal.

Right before I attempted to loosen a bolt I would spray some more. Turn the bolt some and then spray. A trick I learned long time ago is when your trying to loosen a bolt is loosen it a little and tighten it back up just a hair. Loosen a little more and tighten Shoot some of that PB blaster on the thread and it should work its way loose.

The long bed bolts and wood supports well they where a pain and felt the fury of my cut off wheel. All the bed sides, tail gate and front tin I was lucky for them to come loose with that PB blaster and a torch because I did not want a bolt snapping in those welded nut zerks.

Re: My 65 Build

Well I am alive, and kicking. Took a detour on projects, and haven't been on this site for a while. Summer time came near, and it was time to get the lake rod ready. I have made some progress on the truck. Will re size some pics, and update in the next couple of days. ... It runs, and runs well.

Re: My 65 Build

Long time no post! Even forgot my login and password. That truck hasn't made much progress, however, I have a new build (not g pa's truck) that I am acquiring parts for. Soon will start a new build thread. It is a 66 short bed, full air ride, custom rear frame clip, lots of fun to come. Life got in my way for a while! A long while! This new build I will keep up on. Have almost all the parts and pieces already. Hope you guys will like it. I will title the new one AFC 66 Short Bed. Cheers!

Peanut gallery has left the building. Dino? I know you are still around. New build pics coming shortly. As soon as I find time to go from phone to pc to website to blah blah. However. CnC frame rails have come out sick. I suck at patch panel work. Captain fab is sending me his delish parts for steering and breaks. Bump steer tie rod set up available for the bump steer needing folks. Custom sleeve, bored for inner tie rod, and outer heim joint, comes complete with sleeve, high articulation chromoly heim joint, jam nuts, and spindle bolt. Can also include inner tie rod, and drill bit to ream spindle. This modification allows the tie rod to be mounted on the underside of the spindle to correct bump steer in lowered trucks.
