Went ahead and yanked the cab off the frame since I'd recently pulled the front clip; found dirt/rust stockpile in the old heater…

Got the door handles mounted. I decided to have a matched set of locks so I won't always have to go through the passinger door to get in.

I just wish I was at the point of paint. :whine:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Verified that it was an out-of-round tire causing a bounce in the rear end. Found out we have air-shocks in the rear. We also have just about 100% original truck.. including the muffler lol. That truck runs QUIET. Pics later..

I finally painted my motor and started painting some of the brackets and such today. No show job or nothing, didnt even pull the motor. Just wanted to spruce it up and remove close to 50 years of massive grease build up haha

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks Dude..

But it helps to set things up in advance so you can really pick up speed...I had it all laid out across my yard....lol...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Scored a 1962-63 era Moon 3 gauge panel with external lights, so more dash modifications are in order. The two outboard gauges on the main panel will be replaced with shallow bullets and the gauges relocated to the new accessory panel below the dash. The external lights were never very efficient. They mostly glared on the glass lens of the gauge, but I always loved their appearance. The bulb covers closely match the 49 Ford style dash knobs.

Here’s an old photo of what the panel looks like. More pictures to follow next week when the project is complete.
