FARM FRESH 1969 359 PROJECT

I'm not sure I follow so obviously I didn't get it. I will have to check with PullRite. If you have a pic of what you are referring to I would appreciate it.

 

I like the look of the ramps too.

 

I do get what you mean with the mount. Mine I think I'm going to hide a large steel plate under the aluminum plate for support and bolt clean through. The steel plate will be mounted to the cross member between the axles.

The one in my personal truck will probably go your route though. If it's still there on Monday when they open, I forgot to call the junk yard and have it set aside for me.

 

Thanks

2 hours, 3 busted knuckles, and a good bruise on my shin and all I got done so far today is removal of the remainder of the exhaust. Sounds great though.

 

I'm back, after spending most of the last 3 months dealing with some health issues, it's good do get the "all clear" and get my hands dirty again.
Unfortunately, in my absence someone saw fit to take off with my 5th wheel, some of the exhaust parts, my air cleaner, and my aluminum plate. I was re-routing the exhaust anyway but I needed some of the parts.

I pulled the valve cover to get a number off the jake brake so I thought I would shoot a picture. Not bad for 48 years old.


Expect major changes in the next 2 weeks, If you're a purist you may want to turn away, this could be upsetting. I'm gonna Z the frame and drop the front end while I'm feeling energetic.

Removed the door panels to repair the window mechanism that resulted in me removing the cover and I just had to see how it would look bare. LOL


I don't know what they used for glue in '69 but #### that's hard to remove! Everything I touch turns into another 20 hour project. LOL

There is also some pitting so, given that I have 2 sheets of aluminum I took out of a Unibilt sleeper I scrapped (had 2, sold one) I'm seriously considering making new panels.
