Pulled my gauge cluster to be sent to redlineg.com next week. Going to add vacuum gauge, tachometer and convert the amp gauge to a volt gauge and calibrate the rest.
Also Ordered a rebuilt Saginaw 3-speed overdrive transmission.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Finished up the wiring under the driver side of the dash, instrument cluster, and steering column. Before I zip tie everything, I thought I had better do a turn signal circuit test. Now, onto the AC.

Strange place for a trans cooler :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I got all the sheet metal a year ago. Just getting around to do it now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I did not like it there. The po had put it there. I got the new steel trans lines.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I was thinking it was a joke, being April 1st. you really mean the PO put it like that? How did he get airflow through it?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

fan blows through it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I see that now. I guess rock strikes were not a concern for the PO

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Installed my new kick panels that I purchased from
Atomic Armadillo Metal Fab. www.a2metalfab.com
They have been painted and distressed to match my interior.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

It has a fan on it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

please let us know how it goes and how well they work! I am interested in trying these.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Mat, what bracket did you use to mate of the P/S pump. I added one to mine and was able to find an original V-6 bracket, yours looks different from the photo angle.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I installed them on my 64 before paint and they work like butter, the doors close so easy I have to be careful not to slam them. :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Now that Spring is close, I hope! I ordered a 63 and 64 Shop Manual so I can have a visual back up. Time to bust butt and get the 64 street ready again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

My wife has been working on the paint, I installed the hitch, brake controller, trailer plug, LED taillights and cut a piece of diamond plate for the rear license plate.

Love that green truck!

We have a new Old Man on our ranch. The boss added a '58 One-Ton flatbed. Top speed, fifty going down hill with a stiff tailwind. I wonder how difficult it would be to put a V8 in this thing?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

original bracket, from a 65 I bought a parts truck just for that pump.and pulleys

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Thank You Mat, they must have changed the design.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I got my speedometer working! The set screw came out in the elec/mech converter box that grabs the inner cable. I'm really enjoying the simplicity of this model ('63). I watched a youtube on removing the cluster on a 64 and it seems a lot more complicated since all the switches mount thru the cluster.

I also got my retro radio system installed with exception to the antenna. I couldn't find the cable hole into the cable and the antenna wouldn't fit anyway. Guess what I have to order today? :lol:

My 'ol frame is a little sore from a couple days of truck yoga :waah:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I finally hooked up my speedo last week as well, I still need an adaptor because the speedo is off by 12-13 mpg (truck shows slower than real speed). I have to do the tire/pumpkin calculation and order one. I had to get the truck lifted up so I could connect the cable. No way to bend my arm the way it needed while the truck was on the ground, without breaking something ;).
