I expected the Vintage Air box to be huge and take up all the under dash space. I didn't count on having to deal with the drain tube...I should have spent more time considering the VA set up. It's nice for what it is, but I might (might) try to put together a stock set up if I had it to do over....or buy a truck with air. ;)

Probably spent as much time looking for or thinking about this part as any other. As far as I can tell this one was the last NOS prop valve on the shelf in any dealership in the state of Georgia(Barnesville)....And I caved and went to Chevrolet last. There are a few on eBay, but they sure seem to be getting scarce. It turned out to be quite an exciting box to open.

All wiring and plumbing lately, so no fun pics to post in spite of a lot of effort. Always one step forward and two steps back it seems. Very little goes on that doesn't come back off...once...or twice...or more. If things went together this way in 1970, I'm amazed they could crank out 50 a day. Of course we might get faster with the second one;).
I wasn't going to post these pics, was gonna wait for better, but I couldn't help myself. Ran over after work today and we got the column in. I've been sitting on that steering wheel forever. It was very satisfying to slap it on. Fingers crossed, we may turn the key in earnest next week (assuming we can get everything buttoned up). The goal being to start her before final paint...just in case. |

Did you place a 5 gallon bucket in the truck put hands on the wheel and make noises like "vroom, vrooom...."? I would have. Awesome!!

I can relate very much to this.. I just realized I installed the return fuel line thinking it was the fuel line that goes connects to fuel pump line.. Why I even had a fuel return line beats me. I ordered it thinking i needed it and got the two mixed up.. Have no idea what it does or where goes. I do now, in the dumpster 20 feet from my garage. So I'll be routing my lines again for the 3rd time. You're making great progress so keep it up.. I've been spending a lot of time at the body shop and I asked the guys if they run into the same stuff we do and indeed they do too and they work on old cars everyday for a living so don't get down on yourself. |

I'm going to take a day off this weekend and go see the Good Guys car show in Pleasonton this Saturday.. Hopefully, I leave motivated to get back at it. Any specific parts you need? I'll keep my eye out for anything I come across. |

Front fenders back on...hopefully for good. She's fully plumbed and oil's in. Headed home for Easter. We'll cross our fingers and turn the key when we get back.
