On the trucks or the radio bracket? lol

 

Lol the trucks... As for the radio bracket i did something similar i just welded sides on it

 

It's fun stuff...I've been playing with this body style trucks since 1989

 

Here's a few pics from moving trucks around...had to move the shorty out so I can lift the silver and blue cab up to sit 2 inch temporary blocks under cab to check for clearance for Cummins that's going in Crew project....Need to see if a 2 inch body lift will make it so I don't have to cut front cross member...if that isn't enough...the cross member will get cut.


Hooked up and ready to move it out


Dropping Shorty out with the 2 Dana 60 Trucks...Red one is the 79 F-350...other one is the Super Cab Project Truck


Hooked up and ready to move around to work on


Backing in to drop off....Ran out of daylight

 

Just a little tiny bit of progress and a big accident....Bought 4 pieces chain...3 feet long to extend the chain I lift the beds up with to see how it does on cabs...working on the 78 F-100 that my Cummins is sitting in the back of...Trying to get it started so I could back it in to the driveway to do some figuring with Cummins Motor (I'm using the super cab project to do some figuring for the Crew Cab project before the cab is completely removed) And the truck caught on fire....Ran to garage for fire extinguisher...that one was dead...ended up having to run back and forth to get water from the tap on the house to get it put out...it got flaming pretty good. But looks like just burned/melted some wiring and mostly hoses. WHEW!!!

 

Fire is no good! What exactly caught fire & burned Dave?

 

This one....looks like it's just vacuum hoses...brake booster hose...4 spark plug wires....and the wire harness to the dizzy...from what i can see.

 

Do you know how it caught?

 

A Little More Progress


I need to readjust chains...just a tad too long

 

The carb flooded over...I was trying to start it...and it either barked or I had a spark leak somewhere....It didn't want to start...got out to see about giving it some more juice...and it was flaming.

 

That's what happened to mine when my grandpa still had it ruined the hood air filter housing and some wires

 

The joys of working on trucks by yourself...LOL

 

I hear ya i do it all the time

 

It's fine most of the time...but sometimes it really sucks when you try and do a 2 man job by yourself...LOL

 

Finally some more progress....
