Hey Alan what did the Column come out of? I need to find one for my 64!

Strodder · 02-20-2009, 11:50 AM

Good score on the storage cabinet & the column. BTW that's a nice hammer collection. Do you have any other tools.

I bought some factory blade connectors and empregnated cloth wire loom material, that is a reproduction of the shield on the temp gauge wiring on these trucks. They were setup at the Sunflower Swap Meet a few weeks ago in Wichita, KS at the Kansas Coliseum.

Thanks Tony, I will check them out.

I got it from a coworker that got it from another coworker that bought it a yard sale. I believe it is a van column, but not 100%

Wow Alan!! What are the chances that you would score a tilt column that would fit your truck that was already painted the correct color?

Yeah, it was a good score. The guy had it in a 1970 C10. I'll have to make some mods to it to get it mounted and then paint it gray to match the gauge bezels.

What adult supervision? I'm just a little kid in a big body.

Just wish I was here at that time to come out and play.

Just sitting here waiting for it to warm up, 18 degrees right now supposed to be 58 today.

Alan's Classic · 02-21-2009, 11:21 AM

I was searching for tail light ideas and keep going back to my original idea. using 2 1959 Caddy taillights frenched on both sides. I can use a piece of exhaust pipe to french them the way I want. Just rotate this pic 90 degrees so it would flow into the bedside.

protrash64 · 02-21-2009, 01:04 PM

You need to enlist ChiefRocka to help with the drywall before you get too much more stuff in there

. The truck is really looking nice, I always check in and see what your working on next.

STOP Alan, stay inside or you will end up with a bum ankle like I did trying to be a kid playing basketball with my daughter.

Caddy lights look sweet.

Thanks Protrash, I'm waiting to get my cable and water ran to the shop before I button up the sheetrock. That's not a bad idea. I wonder if John would come out when I'm ready? Thanks for checking in.

Thanks David. If I stay inside then you'll catch up with me.

I didn't work in the shop like I wanted. The honey do list caught up with me.

But, I was able to excape for a little while and go look at a truck that sdailey found for me. It's got the best hood I've seen around here on a none restored truck. I wish it had a fleet bed and a V8. I guess I can't have it all. The outer rockers are very nice, but the floors need some work.

I don't know much about the 6 cylinders, can someone identify this one. Will the distributor fit all 6 cyl

This is my 55 3100 6 cyl that I thought about putting a HEI on

Inside the hood

Alan's Classic · 02-22-2009, 01:27 AM

I couldn't stand it I had to go to the shop and do something. Threw in the new (used) tilt to see what all needs to be done to it to get it mounted. I am wondering if it needs to come toward the seat a little more. It's at a comfortable position like it is. If ya'll see something that I am missing let me know.

Like I said before I need to rewire it. I have a donor column that is not a tilt. Will the turn signal assy transfer over even if it is going from a non tilt to a tilt?

gearbox to column alignment pic

It looks like the shaft is sticking out more than usual.

Like I said before, I messed up on the Rt front cab mount area and I don't know how. Can't blame it on alcohol, cause I don't drink. It really doesn't matter I still have to fix it. The bolt is where it needs to be.

IvelDesigns · 02-22-2009, 10:36 PM

wow, you really like you truck

Aren't wife's good at snapping pics like this when you least expect it?

That really stinks about the cab mount being off. Everything else is looking good (even the wall!).

kizer · 02-24-2009, 05:58 PM

Been there done that. 3 or 4 days of those hours and then all of the sudden whammmm the 5th day day its like a load of bricks smacking you down.

I've been doing this sleep pattern for about 6 months or longer. I do get more rest on the weekends. It does eventually beat you down. Heck, I'm still sick and going out to try to get something done.

I have a question for ya'll. Does anyone know if there is supposed to be nuts welded here or does bolts go thru it into something else? It's the headlight mount panel if you can't tell by the pic. I remember grinding something off when I tore it down a year and a half ago. I can't remember what goes here.

Strodder · 02-25-2009, 10:09 PM

With nice big holes, it doesn't look like there should be nut welded to that panel. Most likely a bolt through with a fender washers. ?? ??

jason65 · 02-25-2009, 10:15 PM

I think they are for braces that stabilize the bottom of the grill support. I'd get you a pic but my truck is at the body shop. You should have two 4 1/2" or so brackets. I think.

I'll agree with that. It's too clean of a hole to have a nut.

I remember those brackets now that you mentioned them, now the question is "Where did I put them"

Thanks, If someone has a pic or gets one I'd appreciate it.

jonzcustomshop · 02-25-2009, 10:35 PM

so how exactly are you going to french those 59 cad lights in... ?
I am wondering because if you do them the way I think, there might be a way to hide the fuel filler behind one of them.....
and if nobody else posts before me I will get you a pic of the rad support at daybreak....
