Hey Nathan,
Thanks for the compliment. I've been working on the truck as time permits and it's coming along slowly, but I'm in no hurry. Here's a few pics of some updates thats been done recently. If you get a chance post some pics of your ride, really like to see what others are doing.

Well it's been awhile since I've posted anything so thought I'd update on the progress. I've installed a new crossmember for lowered trucks, also added a shortened and balanced driveshaft with new universals and transmission yoke. Also I've added a new fuel tank in the rear of the truck. The tank fits really well and has the EFI fuel pump and a sending unit installed. Also just yesterday have gotten a new engine wiring harness which isn't installed yet. Also installed a new dual master cylinder with proportional valve. Working on locating a reasonably priced radiator for the Vortec engine. I've attached a few photos, and will update as some progress is made. Oh yeh the most important photo is of my new granddaughter!!

Hey Everyone,
It's been quite a while since I've posted any updates so thought I'd update the latest. I've gotten an original radiator support panel and tailgate at the Carlisle swap meet and have sandblasted them. They are in fantastic condition versus my old ones. Also blasted the front fenders. Still working on some other parts. I've gotten the wiring harness for the Vortec 5.3 and have actually started the engine for the first time. It runs really well and also looks pretty good. Also got the aluminum radiator and fan system installed. This pretty much completes the chassis, so now comes the challenging part, the BODY WORK. Can do it but I'm really slow at it. I've attached some pictures of some recent updates. Will update when things change.

Hey Everyone,
Have made some progress on the body work. I've blasted pretty much all of the body parts and so far everything is coming out really good. I haven't found any rust areas or holes in any of the panels so far. I've just started blasting the cab, which is the last part to be done. I've added some pics of the fenders and the blasting process.
Later,
JT

Hello Everyone,
It's been quite awhile since my last update so decided to do just that. Recent items done are the installation of bucket seats from a 68 Camaro, installed power brake booster setup, and installed the clutch master cylinder linkage. Also have recently added a roll pan to the rear of the truck and started doing the body work. Also have installed the gas pedal assembly for the throttle by wire for the 5.3 engine. Basically just test fitting everything prior to paint. Here's some pics of some of the updates.

Nice work!

What type of coating do you have on the frame? POR-15? ZeroRust? Eastwood? Also, I should ask how you went about blasting -- looks like you did it outside with a tarp for easy cleanup. Aluminum oxide, or something more eco-friendly? I've only used a booth blaster, but I don't always have access to one.

Did you hand-make the roll pan, or order one from LMCTruck or another site? I like the look of that. Since I have a '66 with a rotten rear bumper (and I mean...ROTTEN) I may go with that look instead of replacing the chrome. My front bumper, however, is in pretty decent shape. Very little exterior rust, and only minor flaking/chipping on the chrome surface. A blast & rechrome is probably in order, but it will make do if I don't refinish it.

Onuma,
Thanks, I used POR-15 on the frame and brushed it on. It's not the cheapest, but works and looks great. The frame was sand blasted using Black Magic XXF sand blast material. I got the roll pan at Mar-K in Oklahoma. It's very well made and was very easy to install. I see what you mean about your rear bumper, pretty bad. There's not a whole lot of price difference between the pan and an aftermarket bumper, but I really liked the look of the pan so I went that way.

Thanks for the quick response.

I can fabricate a roll pan, if need be. I like to learn things the hard way -- hand-making one of those would certainly qualify

Can't really do that with a chrome bumper.
