Thanks for the compliment NashRodMan, but my truck is far from perfect even though it has come a long way. When I first got it every panel other...
Looks great swade41!! The 59 Impala wheel looks perfect in these trucks.

I am running a 3.23 rear gear with a 305 sbc and 700r4 on 225 70 r15 tires. Rpm at 70mph is around 1800 with the converter locked up. I have the...
Awesome!! I had just found the HAMB around the time you originally built it. I remember buying the Rod and Custom issue and thinking how cool it...
Subscribed!
Thanks swade41!
Thanks guthriesmith! Makes all the work worthwhile. I can't wipe the smile off my face ever time I take it for a drive.
Time for a long overdue update. I got my truck on the road at the end of May and had a great summer enjoying it at car shows and weekly cruise...
Thanks NashRodMan!
Thanks 1oldtimer. I ended up using one of those universal lower flex hoses similar to what swade41 posted and it managed to clear the belt.
Been making good progress. I put the box back on and built some simple risers for the cross sills out of 4" rectangular tubing. At the back of the...
Thanks swade41. I’m hoping that one of the universal flex hoses work.
Thanks bjinx! I’ll keep that in mind as a possibility if I can’t figure out a hose option that clears. I eventually want to swap in my 327 once I...
Thanks for the suggestion bjinx but I think the Alternator would interfere with the Heater hose outlet and the fuel line in that location. I would...
I'm trying to figure out my lower radiator hose, but I'm running into a couple of issues: - the alternator belt is touching the rad hose. - I...
The company name is Control Cables Inc. They made the cables to measurements that I provided. Very impressed with their products and customer...

Here you go NashRodMan, The stock e-brake handle is bolted on a bracket under the steering column. It has a ratchet mechanism and a release...
Thanks NashRodMan! I figure as long as I know that I want the needle close to 14 while charging and 12 with the key on but engine off that is all...
Got the gauges installed. If you remember from earlier in the thread, I swapped out the temp gauge and oil pressure gauges and converted the amp...
Thanks!!
Happy New Year!! I hung the fenders and hooked up the wiring for the headlights and park lights/signals. I also moved the radiator up 1" to give...
Thanks for the posting that out Algoma56. I did confirm that the engine came out of a squarebody c10 with a factory 700r4. Basically last year...
Thanks pprather. That was my thought as well, I was hoping to find a solution that would avoid drilling out the factory stud so that gives me...
