Figured I would show a little before and after of my 62

[jp_waltz]

Thanks for all of the help so far everyone. I am a long way from being done but the big stuff is finished. She is a little rough around the edges and good from far. I really am enjoying it and I have learned a great deal by doing all of the work myself. So here is a few before and after shots to show my progress.
Thanks again,
Paul

BEFORE..

AFTER....

I like the new stance.

Nice!

So you've got new springs, new tires and rims, silicone vacuum tubing, lost the brush bar....... Looking good, what am I missing?

 

[smkymntn]

Looks good

Yeah, all of the above stated plus a new(to me) head and head gasket. After getting it from Georgia(thanks Greg) I had it magnafluxed, the valves and seats ground and the #5 galley plug replaced. As far as the springs go, I just put in MAF AAL's. I really like the result but putting them back on the vehicle was very interesting to say the least. I also did the plugs, cap, wires, rotor, fuel filter, some injector parts and all new coolant hoses throughout. I pulled all of the carpet and steam cleaned it and the seats. Bushings to take up the free play in the shifter. Rebuilt the knuckles, put in new front braided stainless steel brake lines. I know that I am forgetting a few things. Needless to say I couldnt have done any of it without mud members and the FSM. So thanks to all.

That looks really sweet. I always loved that color on a 62.

Nice rig Poul. Where did you order those Silicone Vacuum Tubing?

 

[jp_waltz]

Got the tubing from McMaster.

Great looking truck and nice work so far. Also, pretty sweet looking 80 in the background!

 

[t100boy]

how many feet of hose did you order?

 

[jp_waltz]

35' of the small, I have some left over. not sure if im missing some vacuum lines. 10' of the larger, again with a little left over. I cant remember the sizes off the top of my cranium but if you search you will be able to find it. Someone posted the part number for the McMaster website. It was super easy to find and order. Good luck. If you cant find it let me know and I willl look for the paperwork.
