Mind if I ask what year the alternator you are running is? I have similar brackets and can't find the correct one.

Seems like the truckandcarshop has the wrong pic, or is just me? I need what is in the bottom pic, the cab to fender seal. I have what is in the top pic. It came with the other seals for the fender that I listed in the previous post. The pics must be reversed. Anybody have an extra speedo cable seal at the firewall? If so let me know. The truck shop only offers it in a kit.

My water pump is 2 inch as is the radiator, I use the exhaust preheater hose and form a shape that works and then go to the parts house and see, my issue is the parts houses here suck...and I have to drive 15 miles to the good one, will let you know what I find

Allan that top pic looks correct, those are sold as a pair and fit the outer fenders, I ordered both inner and outer fender seals, the inner comes as one piece and you cut to fit, on my 65 those outer fender seals had staples holding them on the fender looks like they may have pulled the wrong part

That looks good on the fenders. I did that to mine that last time it was painted. I thought that it really looked much better after it was done.

I wish I was home to work on mine, the weather back home has been in the 70's. I have been over in Austria and Italy since the 15th for work. It is about 10:40 am here and it is 3:40 am back home...

You're getting closer to completion.!!

those ones you have pictured attach to the rear fender brace inbetween it and the cab.
they help hold water and dirt in there so your brace can rust out:lol: -just kidding-
I seem to remember them being attached to a seperate piece of metal , I will see if I have one off and get a pic for you.

I think you are missing these:
they are what the flat rubber staples to.

Does anyone make those braces that hold the fender to cab rubbers? Mine are gone and want to stop the dirt and rocks from hitting my door.

Thanks

Alan, those inner fender seals do not hang down, the seal slips on to the contact edge of the inners that make contact with the firewall, I don't have any good pics, but before I tore mine down you could see the seals pushing out from time.

Make a piece of metal to cover it, and use screws to attach it instead of the staples. Just an idea. I want to see you work more too. :lol:

I tell you what, sir... I've read all 116 pages of this build and it has been a real inspiration to my personal build. (1965 lwb). I'm sure mine, or I know mine, wont turn out anywhere near as good as yours but an inspiration none the less...Great build and great color, mine will be orange as well.

Alan -You are an inspiration. And you still have some hair
But the closer I get to starting the body work on the 64 , the more worried I get. It has been over 20 years since I last spread Bondo, and I know things and products have improved since "back in the day".
Do you have any suggestions or books to re-learn body work and especially metal preparation using the new products?
I know the old skills will come back, but I would kinda like to avoid screwin things up if possible.

Okay Alan Question Time!! I remember you prefer Evercoat Rage.. What is the difference between the Rage, Rage gold and Xtreme and Quantam and Z-grip ? What is the best one to use and how do you choose?? Back in the day Bondo was the only choice.
