I am of the opinion that the truck LOOKED great!(except the wheels) I'm sure it will be a nice daily driver, for the a$$jack that paid the "price" for it. :joker I understand the front end swap, and the rear, just not sure I would go with Furd parts!!! Disc Brakes and a nice comfortable suspention? ...

Wierd.... CANSELL started this last Sunday, hasn't replied to ANYTHING all week, is he for real? :thinking Wonder what it is he can sell ? I sent him a couple of PM's and a few emails, we were bouncing back and forth off site about the 64 CSS that was for sale nearby me. I posted the final result h...

Just looked through the old messages I was exchanging with Jason, the owner of the 64 CSS, I found a phone number for his uncle. That's where the truck was at, he informed me that the truck was SOLD. Oh well, hopefully the person that bought it will find thier way to this site, and can get it put ba...

There's the one older gent in CA who has the white 64 D100 CSS. :idea I trhink one of our members [Mousecat??] has seen it. It needs some work but the price is right. :Thumbsup John I sent a PM to the member that started the thread, sent him pictures and the contact info on the guy selling the CSS....

Pressure washer knocked off a layer if paint! Thought about signing my name, but thought that would be to much!

Finally got to do some work on the 61, great birthday so far, took the day off work, woke up to breakfast, spent the morning getting so quality time in the garage. can't wait to do some more!

Going at it all weekend I think.

FIgured it was about time to get started on the 61, have plenty to do, starting from the bottom, got the frame nice and cleaned up, and just got my pirts in from Scarebird. Hubs, and brackets came in yesterday. Friday is my birthday, and I plan on spending the better part of the day in the garage! :...

My truck is a 66 with a 1970 front axle BigG Not sure how compatable mine will be, but concidering you're not that far away, you are welcome to stop by and look it over. I've got about about 3 more things to take off the donor, then I'll be offering it up to any takers so I can make my wife happy.....

What year truck are you working on?

I've got a 63 parts donator in my back yard, and I'm just a couple miles down the freeway from ya?

I did the same thing on my 61 when I first got it, spent two days trying to get those dang lug nuts off. Kept telling myself to work out more!!! Couldn't figure it out for anything, then jumpped on this site, did a little reading, saw a thread on the left hand lugs, thought, no way could it really b...

I've only gone as far north as Stockton in the last year, but there is contruction on 99 and I-5 between Manteca and Stockton, no major slow downs, just ugly! Your North trip I'll be on the camp grounds with the family, but your South trip... the 21st is my big 4 0, and it looks like my wife is plan...

My very first car at 16 was a 69 Barracuda. Found it in a wrecking yard for 200 bucks!!! Boring little slant 6 in it, but loved the body!!! Back glass was more expencive then the car! But, life happened, and I never really got to drive it! I understand about the extra time, I've made a few trips nor...

If ya feel like taking the 99 route as apposed to the I-5, stop on off in Modesto, you can look over the parts truck I have in the back yard, if you need anything, we can rip'm apart. I'vew got a 63 100 I've been stealing from, got a few more parts to steal off, but after that I'll probably post it ...

Those aren't custom????

I was going to ask where I could get a set from?

Who needs door handles, or latches, I like it!!!

Since the Slant was dead, I wanted a little upgrade anyway, got a really good deal on a 63 with a running 318 poly, It's in a few thousand pieces now, figured it was out, needs a good going through, so I'm going to rebuild it. That stupid money issue seems to always pop it's ugly little head up thou...

I have the original Six in my 61 still, been working on the donor motor more than anything else so far. What is it you are looking for? Maybe I can get it off? Only problem is......the slant six is not operational, the person I bought the truck from told me the motor just stopped one day, and they n...

I would also suggest cutting the pins, I had to do that with mine, the shoes were worn down so much that they welded themselves to the drum!

Destruction is sometimes the only option!!!

All I have is a IPad and iPhone and I can't post pictures on this site with either one. If you wanna shoot me an email you can and I can send some. damiandrigz@yahoo.com I have had issues posting from my phone as well, mostly because of the file size, if you email the pics to yourself, you can make...

Looking forward to more pics, and additional updates, I'm doing a '61 shorty as well, but mine is a stepside!
Slow progress for me, money and time issues, but I'm still enjoying it!


Eric

Hopefully that fixed it!
