Man, I haven't touched this truck in a long time. I've been too busy building this sweet Volvo.
Anyway, figured out the longtubes off the LS1 camaro donor (motor/trans that went in the above Volvo) fit the truck perfectly!
Also, my buddy came by the shop and painted the cab interior for me. Waiting on my monstaliner to get here to do the floor.
Slowly putting it back together, hope to have it driving soon!

Monsalined the inside cab floor, painted the inside cab. Also, installed my reupholstered seat. Black pleaded leather.
Last but not least, finally got around to installing these Camaro (I think) dog dish caps. Scored them off Ebay for $50

Thanks. I haven't been working on it much. Have too many other projects we're building.
Picked up this '65 Continental for virtually nothing. 1 owner. Getting it back going right now to bag on 20's and just drive.

I paid 2800 for it. 1 owner, all original paperwork. Just needs a few small things to get back on the road. Should be on the road after Christmas.

Took a step backwards, hopefully for the last time. Pulled the drivetrain to have my buddy John go through the 4l80e. Turns out it was in fantastic shape, but the OD clutches were metal to metal, so it has a fresh rebuild now.
Drivetrain is back in as of last night, and I just placed a rather large order to Speedway for all the little odds and ends I need to start this bad boy.

Now comes all the expensive little stuff to finish it.
Picked up a starter and alternator today.
Still need to order my York 210 compressor and bracket. ~$700
Moving right along though.

Pulled it out yesterday to work on it in the sun. Buttoning up some of the air line routing, as well as finishing the wiring.
Hope to have it started in a few days.
