yello620 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I'll be generous and give you 6 months. Sweet, less than 6 months until i get a louvered hood. :D :poke: Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Tim, I have a speedo and extra cable I would trade for a heat control valve. Nice to see all the color coming out of the interior and a full paint job. I'll be generous and give you 6 months. I think i may have one for you jester, it will be on the 70+ heater box? I have a heater box in the shed, i can check it out for you tomorrow. Ill def trade for a speedo cable and speedo (speedometer might work, dunno..) It has a 280ZX trans in it.. Chris is right tho, the rear end has been swapped out and so has the trans so it will be off I am in need of a 620 control valve. mines stuck shut. I sprayed it a few times with wd40, i should try and wiggle it again now... Sweet, less than 6 months until i get a louvered hood. :D :poke: The hood is awesome, but needs the tin tacked to the skeleton in the middle (or not, doesn't hurt anything like it is) Quote Link to comment
bart taylor Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I for one think it would be horrible to destroy a period correct surviving 80s minitruck by parting it, bring it back to all its GLORY :D Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 lol This is not getting parted out. Im going to just roll it like it is for a while, doing small things like securing the fuse box, door panels, etc.. Soon as i can get a cherry picker ill get the other trans and a new clutch kit in...

bananahamuck Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I bet you thought i was doing this but i am not... But, i was wondering when the hell are we going to get some fricking engine bay shots? Quote Link to comment
sick620 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 h2theizzo i should have taken your 1200 when i had the chance... i was going to buy that truck.... makes me sad that your removing the interior :( Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Haha, someone neg repped me because i dont like the velvet inside the truck? You come and see what it looks like in person, and you would agree with me. Its not sticking to the panels, at all. its stuck in places and drooping in others. And another thing, the inside of the canopy had the velvet also. Someone made small wooden frames, attached velvet. Then liquid nailed it to the canopy, which was painted before, so it didn't have anything but bubbled old paint to stick to. I was driving down the road today and literally, the entire frame and velvet came falling down. It needs interior.... Ill take an OIC of that tomorrow.. See below pics for what fell down while driving... The interior panels were just shot with some spray glue and the velvet laid on it... Banana, the engine bay hasn't been touched in years and years. I need to take it in and spray it down before i get a pic. These are the panels that fell.... Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Btw, the stuff that was stuck to the dash board i dont think was even velvet.... it had a different feel to it, almost like cheese cloth :blink: Really the only things need DONE to this truck, replaced trans and clutch. CLean up the inside a little bit. Its a good driver. I took it from seaside down to damascus last saturday, did great. Lights/signals all work. Needs a radio too... Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 New seats, center console. Cleaned up the floor good. Got all of the sticky shit from the tint off the windows. Now just need some door panels and a good dash. And yes, thats a pistol grip shifter out of a late 60s early 70s mopar. (or so im told.) 1 Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 How about you just recover the dash in a new material? Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I have no experience doing that. The dash really isnt toooo bad, but there is a layer of spray glue and orange fuzz from the orange material that was on there :mellow: Quote Link to comment
Sinnful Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 oh you peeled the tint off??? that truck has been tinted since the 80's, except I put the limo tint on in 94. I dont like people seeing in my rigs. when Robbo bought that from me I had over 1 foot of the limo on the front windshield, damn that was awesome Quote Link to comment
Wide14u Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 the seats a console look sharp Quote Link to comment

I dont like people seeing in my rigs. when Robbo bought that from me I had over 1 foot of the limo on the front windshield, damn that was awesome I left the tint on the back windows. I would have left the front, however... Oregon state pays a stater to do nothing but pull people over checking for tint. Its an instant 360 dollar fine. He patrols clatsop county where i live. Another thing.. There is a cop here in town, he is a datsun guy and were cool but he doesn't hesitate to fine someone for window tint. He straight up told me if he catches anyone driving with illegal tint he will fine them. Oregon state law says that cars can only have 35%. Trucks, however can have 35% on the doors, and no restriction on anything behind the doors. I have a buddy who is going to tint the windows for me. Its 80 bucks for him to redo the doors at 35%. The tint was awesome, and i totally dug it... but just not willing to get fined. Fyi, i had my buddy test the windows, it came in at 22% :rofl: Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Yeah, my stepdad had a 71 Roadrunner that had that pisol grip shifter. Very cool in the right application. Quote Link to comment
