1937 chevy truck 3/4 ton

[joedoh]

another project! how did I miss it?

I have some random 37-38 spares around if you need something

the right side I have to build the inner brace and weld in

the left side needs part of the corner box made and also the inner brace

I had to do this on the 41, the best I could do was just plate the bottoms and insides so that the repair is in compression.

you have a back window?

I started to build my back window up, but I think its going to be less work to just replace it

my $100 ls3 oil pan came in the mail, I already have a new oil pick up o-ring for it, this is going in tomorrow

I have to go to the junkyard to get some stock dowel pins, I had some adjustable ones in the motor, but im giving my manual trans to my brother and dad and they asked for those pins, we hook each other up, my dad is going to use that trans on a 4.3 v6

I still need to buy the dip stick and tube

no back windows, neither glass nor the sheetmetal nor the frames.

I have a perfect hood, and some really nice front fenders, some running boards, probably more if I look.

motor is looking really clean!

$100 for an LS oil pan is a good deal! If I may ask, where did you find that?

used the engine lift to lift the trans over the frame rails onto the trans jack

mounted the trans to the engine and mounted the headers today

I cut the ears off of the trans bell housing to make room for the exhaust

installed the iat sensor and 3 bar map sensor onto the intake

progress is slow right now, I got work to do but at the same time im waiting on a few packages, I have 3 boxes that are in no where land

2 of them are with ontrac shipping, late
one has a tool to install the crank balancer pulley, and the other a few tank and filter fittings, I think these two boxes will be in tomorrow morning, because the boxes made it up to phx late Saturday night

and the last one is with usps, it went from Indiana to Florida and thats the last update on it
not sure why it went to Florida because im in Tucson, way out of the route I would think it should go, someone messed up

but it has my fuel injector top hats, ones that box comes in, I can get the rest of my fuel parts onto the motor


I ordered 10 fittings and 40 feet of -6AN push on rubber hose, from jegs

thats going to be for the trans cooler lines and the fuel send and return lines

I still need to figure out what radiator I want for this truck and a trans cooler

its getting close to being able to bring life to the engine inside the frame rails

Sounds like you have it under control.
I've often wondered who thought up the efficiency thing in the new routing plans [S

I love fedex, they have their stuff together, fast shipping and on time
