patched the cab floor: [albumimg]9249[/albumimg] started to cut and install some carpet (it gets in the way of the gas pedal though), installed the heater and the glove box too. [albumimg]9247[/albumimg] [albumimg]9248[/albumimg] Obviously the wiring is still everywhere, but I got the truck started,...

dotcentral, I don't know why it isn't working, I don't think I have any blocks or anything on my album, but If I do, I don't know where that setting is. If you pm me your email address I can send you that first JPG file, I might have a few others I also have the truck profile drawn up in autocad, if...

Is there a reason it has to be a 65 or 66? I have this in my album, someone else posted it on here a while ago. [albumimg]5110[/albumimg] I have these, but not sure what year they are: [albumimg]9142[/albumimg] [albumimg]9143[/albumimg] [albumimg]9144[/albumimg] [albumimg]9145[/albumimg] Mine is a 6...

Sheet metal work was getting a little boring so I got out some other parts and started playing with them. I have two sets of door handles and I wanted to see if I could get a set looking better than this: [albumimg]9138[/albumimg] I bought some adhesion promoter so I could get the paint to stick to ...

I just assumed it was a wolf spider, but I've never tried to identify them.

I tried to salvage as much of the battery tray as I could. The parts that mounted to the fire wall were salvageable but the actual tray was not, there wasn't enough of the old sheet metal left to get an idea of what the original looked like, so I just improvised.

I have a bunch of slick pictures on my computer, I don't even remember were I got half of them, so I'm posting them without permission of any of the owners. Some pictures were from ebay, some may have been posted on here before. I will remove any pictures if requested to do so. Here are a few more o...

Well I knew I was going to have to adjust and shim everything, that's why the cab mounts still aren't welded in yet. Thanks for the hint Greg. I've done a lot of reading on what people have done to replace the cab mounts, I just thought I was closer than I was when I did mine. I've been crawling aro...

The motor fits in the engine bay with plenty of room, but I'm having trouble getting the transmission cross member to sit on top of the frame's inner c-channel and still have clearance under the cab. I'm not sure why though. My truck is a 64 with a straight axle and I don't know if the transmission ...

I'm attempting to put a 1986 EFI f150 engine in my 64. It's a huge tangled mess of wires right now but I'm sorting it out slowly. Here is an article on ford-trucks.com about installing an EFI mustang engine in an old ford truck. It's a different motor, and the wiring will be a little different in a ...

Last night I set the fenders on to get a general idea of how much my cab mounts are off, and they were way off, I didn't take any pictures of how they sat initially, but I had to jack up the cab another inch or so to get the fender to come even close to parallel. This board shows how much I had to j...

Hey sixty6, I'm having the same trouble with my cab lining up with my fenders. I also have new rubber cab mounts and radiator mounts. When I received my cab mounts in the mail, it looked like the rear ones were way to tall, but I installed them anyways. I don't know if that's the case and I don't ha...

wow :shock: the last time I posted here about the project truck was November of last year. Not much has changed since then. I did cut out the floor of the truck bed, but I haven't taken any pictures of that. I did abandon using the galvanized metal because it was making me feel bad after I welded on...

Thanks for the tip Greg, I'm actually glad you said something about it, because I had been thinking about just letting the cab just rest on top of the 2x3's and not reinforcing the floor anymore, and the last thing I need is for the cab floor to cave in. I need to put my front sheet metal on because...
