Also this weekend Max got the engine out of the 66 shortbox and will be replacing once we get a few gaskets.

Haven’t posted in awhile, but got the big 170, 6 cylinder back in the econoline this last weekend. Needs a couple ignition parts and should be running again.

Well have had a lot going on. But did get a patch panel put in the econoline. It has a few bead rolled lines in it to stiffen it and I glued it in. Will sand some of the glue away and probably do a matching color bed liner on floor to finish it off.

Well I really like 60-66 shortbox chevys. So when a friend had contacted me that they had one that was partially completed I thought why not. My friends husband had started on it and passed away. He had a lot of good vision. But this one has been one step forward and two steps back on everything. It will be a great pickup when done. And I’m getting closer. But this one you have to walk away from every once in awhile and regroup.

Sorry folks, been extremely busy. But here’s one I had bought over in Lisbon awhile back. Didn’t know if I would ever get to it so decided to let it go. Good thing is I let it go to a young man that has many years ahead of him to get it done. Kept it in the family as my son Max got it.

One more video for the day. Will clean it up. Fix bad spots in the floor and put donor engine back in !!! Again speaking is not my forte so bear with me!!! Have a great weekend!

Few pics of this mornings progress. First time I’ve ever pulled a motor thru the door. One of the easiest motors I’ve ever pulled.
