WILDSTANGRACING · 11-04-2009, 10:24 PM

scoti was your question for me ??

DWright · 11-05-2009, 11:07 PM

mine; be nice, its a work in progress... I just finished hacking the front crossmember from a '79 for the newer suspension, power disc brakes and steering. Does anyone know where I could find a set of 6-lug rotors to fit the '79 spindles? I already have new calipers so all I need is just the rotors; any help would be great. Looking back, I wish I had kept the truck it's original "patina green".

jgh64pkup · 11-06-2009, 12:22 AM

i know the some of the 73 to 87s had 6 lug i guess it was the heavy duty ones

Dam, I love that seat...

Dig the 4 barrel on the six. That was something I always wanted to try back when I had a six.

I love it!

the dually began as a 66 custom cab half ton with fac air that was in sorry shape. i had a 64 1-ton with a rusty cab and a 87 dually with a tired motor. so, like most of you guys would do, i used the best of what was there. it's got a fresh 350 with holley pro-jection and electronic ignition, the frame and granny 4 speed are from the '64, the front disc-brake cradle and rear suspension are from the later model donor ( cool that you can cut the rivots on a much newer truck and the older frame is already drilled to bolt up the front and rear suspension). the bed came from a 50 model 1-ton. the total build took 13 months and everything was done in our driveway including the paint job.

thanks for your interest scoti, i will try to get some more pictures this weekend and post them.

CPP, ECE, Performance Online, they should have a 6 lug rotor that fits the 79 spindle. Is your current 79 rotor a 1" or 1.25" rotor? I think the 6 lug rotors that they may have are 1.25" and will not bolt on a spindle designed for the 1" rotor.

I bought my brake kit from Performance online. They are set up for the 1.25 spindle. make sure you have the right one. I got mine really within 2 days.

If you look real hard, it looks like the hood ornament trim (not a functional scoop) from a 53 Hudson Jet, maybe Hornet.

By the way, I would like to say Hello! to all you 60-66 guys. I'm new to Chevy trucks but not to the old iron hobby. Here's what I just picked up...

Slow Build · 11-08-2009, 11:20 PM

Looks like it's in pretty good shape.
Very cool.

Thanks. This is the Sick Industries '65 build from a few years ago. Check out the build at http://sickindustries.net/
It's got it's issues, but it runs, drives and is registered. The problems are mostly cosmetic sheet metal things.
I'll post more pictures when I get the correct SD card adaptor for my computer.

tim, stop by anytime... we live in the shop and if we're not there, we're probably just out running parts.
