Semi restored the heater box . Need to get some HVAC foam tape for around the upper hose inlet . So far everything on the truck seems to have been made around oct 1967 so pretty much original to the truck

Got the dash apart going to paint the inside cab this week . Had to put the cluster back in to move it . Almost started it with the oil line dangling.

LoL Mark, that would be a good/bad way to check the oil pressure :)

Little bummed out . Gathered up the tail lites and one of the backup lites is damaged . I know it wasn’t when I bought it so it must have got bumped around in the storage box .

After a few years of running this truck on my own sweat, cussin', and frustration, I got it serviced. Sealed up all the gaskets, replaced the intake, carb, and exhaust manifolds and it hauls a$# now!! Still needs a lot more work, bust she's prettier now. :lol:

Got the inside of the cab ready for paint . There were runs on the dash and back panel. The runs were actually in the primer .

Got some more done on the cab. Not going to be able to paint till at least Sunday . Going to pick up mom tomorrow and Saturday is my granddaughters 1st birthday party. Tailgate and dash pieces are all sanded and ready for paint . The roof was really weird lots of what looked like drips in the primer and very thin paint . Need to hook up the oil pressure gage so I can move it into the garage for paint. I have the cluster apart to repaint the bezel and needles .

I take it the original wiper/washer switch doesnt work the pump or does it? I got a 69 so its more a mechanical pump.

The original switch on the wiper/washer runs the new pump. With the hoses no longer running through the firewall there was a perfect pass through for the wiring harness I built plus the fuel level from the rear mounted tank.

The old click clack pump had a sort of timer but this one will run only when you hold the button in. But it squirts way better.

I will check the switch out to see how you wired it. Thanks. I like the idea of the electric pump. And the tank looks like it fits well there too. Thanks again

I trimmed in my carpet today and installed the dash pad and belts. The ACC carpet was a damn good fit in general, just a bit more wrinkle than I’d like over the trans hump. But I can live with it. I expected way worse.
