Did you get your other truck shipped from California? If so what shipper did you use. I have a 72 F250 there I need shipped to Virginia.
@danachick689810 күн бұрын
@hilltopmachineworks2131 i used two other shippers from different companies to move my 80 toyota and 68 Plymouth, I'm actually in Cali now picking up my 65 f100, I ended up buying another truck and trailer to pick up this one figured I'd make an adventure out of it. You can email me at [email protected] i have several contacts out here as far as getting you loaded up. Regardless dealing with brokers and prices to ship is a pain like they actually increased my price by like 300 after my 68 Plymouth arrived in NC.

cool car👍 "restoring" a 68 sport satellite atm I will porbably get hate as well from the purist who cares, painted it with LADA light green color, trim delete, diy console to swap to floor shifter instead column, 4wheel disc, "wrong" rear axle for the year, 69 grille, random aftermarket front seats and audio systems.. prolly gonna sticker up the hood and fender too, fk the haters rat rod look is cool too even tho i prefer the shiny paint 😁 oh and btw its not like you can actualy go and buy this stuff with money either it seems the 68 rear bumpers have been in backorder for years already... so if you find 69 bumper beter take it lol
@danachick68982 ай бұрын
@maxfolio940 thanks, I gave the 68 bumper away for free, but I get it what ever you do it can be undone, if your driving it it's better than it sitting outside with the owner saying I'm gonna restore it some day. Fact is it's better to do this with a satellite than an actual RR or GTX. BTW if you want nice paint and your close to costal North Carolina let me know.
@maxfolio9402 ай бұрын
@@danachick6898 Yeah exactly, these cars were made to be seen and heard. For sure you might want to keep hemi/440 gtx stuff as original as possible those are realy cool as is! But mine for example was just factory 318 without the original numbers drivetrain anyways so I didnt feel too bad to modify things... And the thing is lots of it came with the car and building with budget I had to kinda cheap out on some big buck original mopar parts, like the seats and consoles go for several thousands, crazy.. I painted the car already turned out prety nice after cut and buff in my makeshift booth, oh and Im from finland so quite a far away across atlantic. found the car from california, it was qq1 electric blue car originally from oregon so abit of crustier than typical california car😁 Still looking ro get 68 rear bumper myself too actually, think the car was towed from a ditch yanking by the bumper sometime in its life because its pretty banged up, ohwell😅
@danachick68982 ай бұрын
@maxfolio940 look at the build pics from mine, that back bumper is sitting in my buddy's shed out in Cali it's straight but painted and not nice painted, so worst case if don't find a rear bumper I could have him send it too you with cost on shipping. You described my car no original parts left someone already started the GTX clone. Another recommendation is check out b-bodies only for certain parts. I'll say this even on a budget Mopars are top shelf money.
@maxfolio9402 ай бұрын
Oh isee thats why the gtx emblem on the grille. And getting those already expensive parts to finland is even more fun with shipping costs on top of taxes and customs.. Its getting abit out of hand, there is one good old mopar parts specialized speed shop in germany that I have used abit but now their shipping costs have doubled last time i checked with them... Luckily rockauto stocks quite alot of usable stuff. I checked the video/pics about the build isee you had as nice paint booth 😁 the bumper seems straight indeed it might be salvageable, hard to say for sure.. i guess it depends if it was scuffed before or just painted over. Atleast it should be good for rechrome, I think there is one or two shops here in finland too that still do plating. Its quite expensive but at this point it might be only option and have to bite the bullet, your offer sounds more than fair..

@danachick68984 ай бұрын
@JamesJuberian So you would restore back to an original 318 satellite? Keeping in mind the seats were already done and it was already previously GTX cloned. I do see where your coming from and understand nothing on this car can't easily be undone. I would like to here your thoughts on B-bodies with racing seats and 20" rims, not my style but that's how some like to build them. Me personally I like a ratty mopar with a 70s muscle car look. If this was a real GTX I would not have built it this way, however being a satellite previously cloned I feel it gives the freedom to build it how I want without shame. If you would like to purchase it from me and do a concourse restoration you are more than welcome.

Beautiful pickup with an excellent stance and proper amount of lift in my humble opinion. Excellent choice on the axles. I've driven a million miles on those TTB axles and never had a problem with any of them. Would I replace them with a solid in a new build? 100% I would, LOL. I'm a steel wheel guy myself for the past 52 years. The '79 F26 I finished last year has 10" x 16" black steels and my '71 F26 (frame off resto) I'm finishing up will have them in white. I like how you kept 1/2 ton springs in front, hopefully you did in the rear as well, much better ride. Now, if we could just add two more pistons.....
@danachick68985 ай бұрын
@barrynelson634 thanks for the comments, I have to say I'm not a fan of the TTB, cutting edge for it's time but I prefer the strait axle, which is why I swapped it. I know, there is a large group that loves the TTB. The rear springs are 3/4 ton, 5-6 lift, front are half ton not much needed to hold my 300 straight 6. I do want to use this truck to haul and tow so I wanted heavier springs in the rear. Also I love the 300 straight 6. Steel wheels are something I've started to appreciate more and more the last few years.

Ford guy here, to get rid of the tinny sound when closing the doors and a much quieter ride, put Dynamat in the lid, doors, behind the seat/and/or tank, floors, etc...I realize you said you were on a budget and Dynamat is fairly expensive, but it's worth it. I restored a '79 F26 last year, finishing up a '71 F26 currently and I'm going to be putting it in my '72 F25 and a '76 as well. The difference is amazing. You've got a really nice Slickside there. Good job on it. I had a '61 F11 and a '64 F10. Absolutely loved both of them.
