Got the weather stripping in so the trucks out of the garage.

To make room for the frame that I am going to shorten. You have already seen the frame that i am going to shorten. So here is the newest edition. Its a 66 short bed Chevy frame. I know its not going to fit my truck. The key is that it has CPP disc set up in the front and the rear end is going to take place of the one that I messed with and now it still works but i need new axles. what can I say i am a beginner. So now the frame is going to be shortened and then all the stuff from the 66 is going on the 67 frame. Any body want to buy a 66 short frame? Its gonna have to be the right price because I have always wanted that style truck, so I think I will save it for a future build.




I think that the rims may make there way on to my 67 for now.  They came on the frame. Also I got it for a lot less than what it would cost for the CPP disc set so I think I got a good deal.

Did Some things.

Well here is the truck now. Last night I put in a new back window with a little help from my wife. I am waiting on some weather stripping because the stuff that I ordered from  Classic Parts pretty much sucked and broke while installing them. As soon as I get the new weather stripping the truck is going out of the shop for a while and the frame is going in to be modified. So here are some pics of what it looks like now. Oh I also bought new mirrors but I am waiting on the arms. They are on back order.





This morning i put on new plugs and wires. I am eventually going to do a conversion on the points and a new cap. It sounds a lot better than it did before. I think we may be running on all 8 cylinders now. You will also notice that the new master that I had in it is gone. It didn't work out, the booster is shot. I have a new one on the way.


Here is the new old back window. It came from the parts truck. The one in there was broken.
