A little progress video of my '65 W100 Utiline

We have only been working on this junker for something like 8 years and the driver was still sitting on a milk crate in the video. I'm thinking we might have over cammed the engine but the 4.88's will help with that.

Thoughts?

darn---i love it--

Great!

your pard didn't look too impressed? (Dad?)

Love them old Ws.

Nice!

Whoa! Is there a build thread on the CTD swepty? Nice truck!

That's the fellow that owns the neighboring ranch. He is 80ish and always up for a burn out, trail ride, or backhoe/bulldozer/etc. project. Couldn't ask for a better friend and neighbor.

I'm a big sweptline fan. We have four of them now. Make that 4.5, forgot the parts truck lol. It's too bad they have so many revisions to the 61-71's though, it makes them tough for people to restore. I always figured that was the reason for not seeing too many back in WI. They are everywhere out here. I see at least two or three a week in my travels.

I'm really looking forward to the first time I pull up next to a Mustang or something. My friend with the SRT8/6-speed Challenger declined to run me (in mexico, on private property) in it on the grounds of it having a milk crate instead of a seat! I'm thinking he is scared.
