I always take lot's of pictures!
I should have it at least started today. It will be with "open headers" untill I can pull the bed off to install the chrome stacks tho..... Along with changing the engine/trans I also changed over to power steering and power brakes so it took a little longer....

Hi All,
Haven't been on in awhile as I've been busy with my 65 project. In the last few months I've swapped the rear end out (bad limited slip). Pulled the front clip and replaced the rusty core support with a good one from my 66 parts truck. Replaced the heater core and radiator. And while I had the clip off I replaced the 352/3 sp with a 360/c6, Edelbrock 4bl, headers, and 4" flowmaster exhaust out the side. I installed a B & M Unimatic shifter (still looks like a 3 sp). Just fired it up last night, started on the first try, purrs like a kitten.
Don, I hope the firing of your 67 goes as well. But I didn't do a rebuild on the motor, just used a low mile motor and trans I had in the shop. Made it easier. Still need to do some finish work and maybe I'll have it back on the road this week end.
Allen, then it might be time to swap the other cab on to the SNB frame and start on that project. That will be an all winter project tho and a whole nother story.
I hope everyone has fun with all their projects this winter.
