Don Boger Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) we shall see how tomorrow goes after you do a look over, after all your the one who will be doing the clip. the only thing I am worried about is if they want to inspect the truck and the frame number doesn't match the title/body number.

Don Boger Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Posted July 22, 2012 Well it was a great day. Cab was swapped out, but the best news came when Tim took out the tape measure and checked the frame out, I can still use it! All of the pictures are currently uploading, so those will show up soon. Thanks again goes out to Tim for all the help. Quote
Don Boger Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) here are the pics, for some reason photobucket is being slow with the uploading lately. Edited July 23, 2012 by Don Boger Quote
Don Boger Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Posted July 23, 2012 And just for fun we threw the front end back on it when we got it back to my house. Quote
pflaming Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 When you need a break, you can always go to "On Lock Sams" for some great chicken or prawns in a black bean sauce. Quote
48Dodger Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 LOL...Paul....you and food. Lots of fun Donnie...hotter than heck....but good fun! 48D Quote
Don Boger Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) yes it was fun. Cant wait till we get the chassis up to your place for the real work (and the last hurdle for me to go full throttle into the build) on to other things. Sometimes I have to hand it to my uncle, this is the homemade master cylinder/brake pedal adapter for the truck, the master he chose to use is a 66-70 A, B, C, and E body mopar. I will be reusing the adapter, but getting a new master with an APV for the disc drum combo I will be running. I will be taking it to work tonight to blast the pedal and the adapter. The master is rusted solid so I wont be using it. This set up stopped the truck with all drums and the 360 in it years ago. Edited July 23, 2012 by Don Boger Quote
Don Boger Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Posted August 9, 2012 Not a whole lot of work being done on my end, my truck feels neglected. I have been working 12 hour shifts 6 days a week for the past few weeks and have been too worn out to work on her. I do go out and sit in the cab for some strange reason. At least with the hours I am working I can get the clip done. I also have a line on a 440 that is running and cheap, so I am up in the air on the engine right now. Quote
dave5711 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 440 eh? There's no replacement for displacement. Quote

Sounds like you are looking for some sanity/quiet time for yourself in a very friendly place....I don't find that odd at all. Quote

52b3b Joe Posted August 10, 2012 Report Posted August 10, 2012 well at 330am it is pretty quiet out there, with the occasional wtf did I get myself into being blurted out. Lol, I feel like that almost everyday!! I just keep pushing through it part by part, night after night. If I could do it again, I would have got it driving and drove it a while then do the frame off after college. Now I'm under the crunch cause my dad wants his garage back and I can't blame him, but balancing school, work, the truck, and a girlfriend is pretty challenging. You'll get through it and you wont be disappointed. Quote
Don Boger Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Posted August 10, 2012 Well, today I went out to pick and pull just to kill some time before work. I originally went out there to check out different master cylinder/brake pedal set ups in the trucks and jeeps. I decided to check out what big mopar cars were in the yard. I came upon 2, one a 67 dart, the other a 63 polara. The dart was pretty much useless (stripped to nothing) So I went over to check the Polara, Jackpot, it was a push button auto car and had the steering column that I wanted. Problem was I had no tools, and they were getting ready to take the car out to crush it. I asked their staff if they had a socket and wrench I could borrow to get the column off of the steering box (somebody already unbolted the rest of it) All they had were metric, so I said screw it, give me a 17mm I dont need the bolt anyway. But here is my junkyard gem for the day. now I have a steering column but only knew that it came from a push button auto car (no idea on how to source parts for it, and it was cut down) so this was the logical solution to my little problem. anyways, I found a few master/booster/pedal assemblies that I will go back out and look at tomorrow.
