so i saw this skate board at the skate shop the other day and had to buy it. its gettin hung up on my wall of stuff
Skeeter O.K. I hear you ; I'm neither a Rocker nor a Mod , I like to ride too ~ I ride long distances on my Vintage Honda 90's as much as I do my Boxer Twins , never really tried a Scooter because of the tiny wheels making it patently unsafe . I like that skate board , watch out or it'll get stolen .
T5?? What do you think, Skeeter? http://vintagemetalworks.blogspot.com/2011/11/s10-t-5-install-in-50-chevy-truck-part.html http://vintagemetalworks.blogspot.com/2011/11/s10-t-5-installpart-two.html http://vintagemetalworks.blogspot.com/2011/11/hitting-floor.html
so ive been driving my 50 around town. first place i took it was chad aka 2or4wheels place. trucks runs good around town where the speed limit is 35mph. but that trans is a bugger. got a lead on a t5 trans so i might go that route with the stock rear since i cant afford to change the rear and front end right now. i like ol chebbys write up. i need to replace the glass because a truck with broken glass isnt good in front of an automotive glass shop
....although, if i use a blazer rear and wheels i might be able to make the stock hub caps work...??? or use moon discs
ordered all the glass and gaskets for the truck. ill document it while i do it at work. gonna put some UV protection film on the clear glass. stuff works great and has a very light green hue to it. figure good glass in it was more important than changin the drive train. which ill still do soon. someone on the HAMB was cool enough to help me and photoshop the truck laid out. this is the goal but with differnt wheels.
just finished up doing the glass on my truck at work. our hosts glass and rubber moldings are well made. i have to say thank god i had my boss because doing the glass on theses isnt easy. deff use lots and lots of spray glass cleaner. easier to clean up than wd40. i replaced all the glass, moldings in the door and all. i put a UV film we have on the glass. blocks UV and heat but has a very slight hue of green. heres the old glass with the new glass. you know i love pictures so here the cracks on my pass side was so old the laminated started to bubble rounf the splits. heres the boss putting the back glass in. heres a picture of how to use that tool for a locking strip molding it all came out really well the boss' 63 oldsmobile. its bagged but not laid out in this picture next up is to rewire to 12v and get it running better, which is another thread
Progress ! Thanx for the details and photos . I tried to use the Chinese windshield rubber from Chevy Duty it was poorly made and gave us fits going in .
