Ahhh! I thought you were doing one for insidethe engine bay.

Does yours tuck up under the bed rail? Side door or a top lid?

It will tuck under the bedrail, with a top lid and a side door. There will be a floor at the same height the top of the fender well is (~4 inches depth) for sockets, wrenches, etc and then the side door will be for larger things like jacks, carb cleaner and brake cleaner cans.

Alright cool stuff.

I wanted to make bins the entire length of the bed. Using the center stake hole as a way to mount them in place. Still haven't quite decided on if I should divide em up or just leave them open.

We saw the tops of the lifters in another post, just no rollers.

Quite true. Seeing the roller after all the carnage may not be conclusive either. Maybe looking at the others will show a wear pattern that will tell us something. We also can't completely rule out defective parts or a lubrication failure, but if I was betting money I'd put odds on the mismatch.

so here are the lifters

the one on the left is the one turned sideways on the lobe and the one on the right was on the chewed up lobe but straight in the bore/hole/lifter spot. On the left one you can kind of see some flat spots from it not being straight. On the right one you can definitely see where the chewed up cam was chewing up the roller. the really sad thing was that even with all this damage, the engine was running very strong....gotta love those 350's. they will run regardless of how stupid the operator is. adding insult to injury, the roller lifters really don't make any noticeable difference in my application. I'm not running big numbers anywhere: stock compression, stock intake, stock-ish exhaust. so all I've managed to do is spend good money to tear up my camshaft so I can spend good money to replace a bunch of parts.

from everything I've read, these types of results are fairly typical of this kind of mistake. I spent time this weekend kicking myself for not just leaving 'stock' alone. I'm ordering a new cam, new lifters and digging up the old rods to put my Gerdie back together.


But, I'm getting all this out of my system before I get the '51 on the road; or even in one spot.

did the same thing after finding my push rod.

Hauled some enriched topsoil and compost for some raised beds in the backyard. On the way there I went to air up the back tires and discovered the right rear valve stem core was sticky. Air was rapidly escaping so I had to put the little cap back on quickly find a tire shop to replace it. Luckily there was a shop almost directly across the street from the bulk yard where I was getting the material from. Got the core replaced, tires aired up, and all was good. But those tires are old, not sure how much more weight I'd trust them to handle.

It's a good lookin truck.

Thank you. Shes a work horse.

Got the new cam and lifters in yesterday, the radiator will show up Monday. I've been pulling things off of the engine and painting them as fast as I can. I've got header wrap sitting on a shelf waiting for me to tackle that project. Soon I'll have a very Chevy Orange engine...


For a "free" truck I sure have spent a lot of $$. Granted, it's mostly because I'm ambitious but rubbish.

 

[Frankenchevy]

ambitious but rubbish.

from the greatest show of all time. I mourned the loss of that show like a family member...it still hurts

 

[Honky Kong jr]

[Frankenchevy]

Shifted gears and started in on the front axle. Pulling leaf packs and sway bar. New ORD goodies are going in as soon as I resto the leaves and get the bushings out of everything.

Kind of cool how they did these d60 front ends with two u-bolts on the driver side and one on the passenger side
