Hi, been watching your build and have to say, great job. I'm just past the tear down stage on mine and my throttle cable was not stock, way too long (actually was looped around the carb) and I was wondering in the length comparison between the Lokar you bought compared to the stock version? I really like the look of the Lokar. Thanks Bill

Thanks Bill. The Lokar cable is a "trim to fit" cable. It's pretty simple. Check out the link below for more info.

Thanks for going through my build.

[QUOTE=sdailey;4559180]Thanks for stopping by Jim. Where do you stand on yours at the moment? Take care bud.

Sad story...I'm on my 4th intake manifold, First one was a stock two barrel, second one was for a standard SB w/four barrel, third one was for Vortec heads and I galled the threads on an alum. plug. Out comes the #6 Spiral easy out, and it developed so much pressure getting the pipe plug out it cracked the 'brand new' manifold

Wifey said I could borrow 200 bucks off of her, but I wonder what the interest rate will be

Pretty cool having a guy like Allen live next door

Thanks for listenin', I'm starting to feel better

sdailey · 05-02-2011, 12:44 PM

Still here......

Here's an update of where the truck stands now.

My cab didn't have a rear view mirror so I measured and drilled holes for one (major progress I know

) If the holes look crooked its because the cheap aftermarket mount had the holes drilled uneven.

Cut the cab for a cargo light thanks to this thread...http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=202391

Installed cargo light switch

Marked the doors and drilled holes for my sport mirrors.

With the driver's side buttoned up, I've been working getting the passenger side squared away.

No pictures, but got the kick panel area repaired during this process as well.

Added a new drip rail

Got the door hung (again) trying to line up the rocker. The passenger side is going a lot smoother than the driver's side did that's for sure.

Got the fender mounted checking the gaps at the door and rocker. Notice the tape on the door window hoop, I've got to cut it and remove a little material like I did on the driver's side door.

At this point the rocker is almost ready to get welded in. There are a couple areas where I need to fill in the door/fender gap a little, but nothing major. I'll just add a little metal to the door edge and blend it in. Once that is done then I can get the cab corner installed and hopefully move to another area of my cab. I'm tired of hanging and re-hanging doors and rockers.

I'm going to tackle the firewall next. I plan on smoothing it for the most part, but I've got to get the new cowl panel installed first. Wish me luck.

Nice work !!!!!!!!!!

sdailey · 05-02-2011, 02:28 PM

Thanks Ronnie. Slowly, but surely.

Glad to see your truck is coming along as well.

Gene · 05-02-2011, 03:16 PM

Nice progress! Wish I had a shop, i'd be getting so much more done if I did!

freakshow108 · 05-02-2011, 07:36 PM

This part of your project could not come at a more perfect time, Im at the same point but just far enough behind that you are figuring out all of the weird quirks so i dont have to use my limited brain matter. Thanks a million

. Also, you can hold your head a little higher these days, our military is something else, God bless all of you

.

msgross · 05-02-2011, 07:37 PM

nice to see that you are still at it, and that the Tornados didn't hit your area.

Glad to help. I owe all the credit to this board and my neighbor Alan. Without their knowledge and support I'm not sure I could've tackled this project. Thanks for the well wishes. Our military is truly something to be proud of.

Still scratching away at it. It's slowly starting to take shape. Any time allocated in your schedule to work on yours in the near future? You're close enough now that with a solid week of work you could have it mobile.

Luckily the tornados just skirted around us. It was a little hairy at times though.

Oh no, ran out of money

Still gotta get my front and back glass installed so I can get it back to the body shop for colorsand n buff. Then I have about a gazillion little things to do!

msgross · 05-03-2011, 01:36 PM

no plans here... been working on finishing my basement so I have a mancave IF we have an NFL season this year...

**jaros44sr** · 05-04-2011, 01:29 PM

job well done, always nice to see quality work being preformed(get it? using patch panels...give it a minute) body lines look great from here

enjoying your progress, keep plugging away

Good luck getting the nick picky stuff finalized. Are you going to install your own glass?

Gotta post some pics of the man cave when you get done. After the bad storms/tornados last week my wife is wanting a safe room built in our basement now.

Thank you sir. Yeah, these patches preform pretty well.

Much better than I expected. The body lines match up extremely well and the gaps aren't all that bad either. A little tweaking and it'll be good. Thanks for checking in.

**jaros44sr** · 05-04-2011, 03:33 PM

good idea on the man cave/ bomb shelter, can never be overly safe against mother nature...gotta keep the wifey safe

My wife is a work in progress when it comes to home safety, I have to tell her what and how to shut down systems, how and where to exit, plus where the guns and keys to the trigger guards are

Hope all is well with you after the bad round with weather

ok, time to get back in the shop!!

No, I paid my paint guy today for the windshield and front and back gaskets. He is gonna install them so he can sand n buff it without ruining my interior. Should have the truck back to him next week. Then I gotta get started on refinishing my trim, I decided to go this route instead of buying it all new aftermarket.
