67' longbed build

Post by 1guydude »

Figure ill start a thread on my build and what all I have going on with it. I've always had a passion for cars and motors and BIG horsepower. Something about the sound and feeling the rumble. I used to collect the car models and even build some and paint em. Now I have a real life large car model to play with and learn on.
Its a project truck. Maybe not a body off build but definitely from the ground up. Im starting with mechanical drive train type stuff and electrical before I move on to cosmetics and looking purty. Or as purty as these old rigs will allow.
Currently all ive done is put some gas in it and change the alternator.
pics to follow.
thanks

Here's the shiny new alternator I replaced. No I didn't get it checked before I left the auto parts store :/

Cool truck doesn't look bad at all. It definately has potential. What are the specs on the truck? Manual/auto , motor, gearing.

theres a reason I didn't post the rear end. LOL
I think its a 390 with 3 on the floor auto. aftermarket of course B&M shifter. 9" rear? Ive yet to confirm that its the 390 with the c6 tranny...someone on here was saying the only difference is the stroke. I need to find top dead center...than measure the depth of the head or something. Can u tell I don't know a whole lot about motors?! Sounds like the 351/361 and 390 all have the same block just different displacement. I was corrected when I called it a 400. oops.

Today ill hopefully hook the ground wire up coming off the firewall. Get the battery re charged and see what happens. If anything ill replace the solenoid, voltage reg, battery, maybe the alternator wire harness. Don't quite know where to hook my potential ground wires up? I hooked em to the radiator manifold bolts...

I don't know much about the gearing...I know that in 2nd gear I can get up to maybe 35-40mph. Engine has mild rev to it when I do that so I take it easy on it for now.

Just.got done. I pulled the old...im guessing, the original throttle control. I have a throttle body on my carburator... which is a motorcraft... original i thought.
Pulled the loud speaker...i dont think they were stock lol.
Put the ground on the back firewall on one of the bolts from the old throttle.
Finally i ran the surefire budget battery junkyard junker down to the auto store for charge.

Good looking truck. What do all those switches do? Even saw one by the rear view mirror! Engine bay looks clean... I don't think those vise grips are stock either :lol: I had a pair in my truck for a while too. I think I'm going to look into a loud speaker, I could have fun with one of those. The roof looks fine as long as there are no pin holes and it's just surface rust, I'd scuff it up with 80 grit and paint it quick with a rattle can. Solid looking truck tho.

Thank you. Thats the emergency flashers. It came with some chrome rods with amber lights on em. I was told this truck pushed racecars off the track.
I honestly dont know what most of those switches do. The newer black and blue one does light up when u flip it...
It was all rainy today. Maybe tomorrow ill install a new battery and starter solenoid i think its called?!

I dont know if thats throttle or choke related. I have the stock choke set up still in the cab.
I wont be tossing it. If anything it will sit on the shelf.with the old.alt and get dusty.

Got my solenoid and new circuit surge protector installed. New battery. Got the old rear steel bumper on. Pressure washed the bed and engine bay. Some of the underside as well. O and the underside of the hood. Hopefully tomorrow i can sand and paint that roof.

Also i tightened up a lot.of.loose.bolts.on the tranny pan and oil pan. Drip drip.
Found my emergency break mostly intact. Needs.to be tightened i think at the bolt and brackett piece under the bed

My driveline has slop. I can move it! :0 i will need a new bushing. Also my passenger side exhaust from the header i can twist...speaking of headers. Those clamps cover up broken header bolts. As most of us are probably aware of.
Need to take back the new header bolts and air filter to national auto parts.
Lots to do still!
