I mesed with the motor today. The dizzy is mising some parts, dizzy wireing is hacked, 2 bolts holding the carb on, leaking intake gasket, crap under the valve cover, foul plug in the #1 hole. How nice.

Pulled the driver's rocker off. This thing is junk. But I'm going to save it anyway. Smothed out the drip rail a little bit to.

4dranch · 03-21-2010, 07:22 PM

Nice work Jason.

jason65 · 03-21-2010, 07:29 PM

Always there with a kind word. Thanks David. I was thinking about cutting the floor out of the 84 and putting it into the 64. It would be a free floor. I would just have to replace the rockers, corners with 64 stuff. I wonder if it would fit.

4dranch · 03-21-2010, 07:54 PM

A hammer and some welding rods and your skills.......No problem

ruffrida2005 · 03-21-2010, 09:03 PM

Just get a new cab in better shape. And while your at it go ahead and cut off the roof of this one and send it to me.

Ummm I don't think that would work to well.....too much difference between the two.

Nice progress Jason. I'm curious to see what you come up with for the floor. The two seem a little too different to me too, but with all your "metal massaging" tools, you may be able to do it.

Good luck vato!

jason65 · 03-22-2010, 10:24 AM

Thanks ese. I think I need to get more tools.

MacAttack · 03-22-2010, 05:59 PM

Wow - you've been busy, Kid.

Mac.

Check this out, it shows that just about anything is possible with a welder and some fab time. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=262874

I think I might try. I'm going to try to do some measuring this weekend.

Imagine if I could work on it 6 more days a week.

Holy channel job Batman! That is a thread of inspiration. Thanks.

daverod · 05-04-2010, 11:58 PM

Do we ever have enough tools.

Nice rust. Can't believe the fenders are still good.

Strodder · 05-05-2010, 09:23 AM

I don't know? It seems like more work than it's worth. I rather just replace the floor.

jason65 · 06-13-2010, 06:06 PM

84 sold. 64 being used for parts.

TimE · 06-13-2010, 09:54 PM

What happened? Did I miss something Jason?

jason65 · 06-14-2010, 09:47 AM

When I got down deep into it it would cost more to put together a crapy ol truck that is safe to drive than to go buy a 90s model to do the job I need it to do. I need the truck sooner than later. I have to many irons in the fire and needed to unload one.
