continued the pre-assembly. We have done all the measurements, except for the distributor and oil-pickup tubes; we're procrastinating on those, but everything else is good to go.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I needed a heater/defrost distributer and controls so I hit the Pull-A-Part Salvage lot this morning. They had one 65 on the lot.

Lucky for me they had all the parts I needed and a couple more. I scored the heater distributer, heater control dash unit, cables, and wiring harness. Also got the original mirror and horn/horn relay just for the hell of it.

In total they charged me 8 bucks.

In cleaning the distributer box I found a bunch of crap but found an old pencil in there that read, "Get Acquainted with a STANLEY HOSTESS PARTY". Back side said Syracuse, NY.

I've got some cleaning/de-rusting/painting to do!

Took the frame of my 65 SWB to powder coat after installing all the Porter Built crossmembers and c-notch kit. I hate rivets! Should have the frame back in a week!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got the '70 Chevelle Rear Springs installed. In Lieu of a BFH I used a Friend's Snap-On 1/2" Electric Impact on the bottom bolts and a cheater pipe on the top bolts, prior to doing this job I sandblasted the exposed threads and soaked everything in penetrating oil. I also re-installed the axles and brake drums after getting them re-drilled for 5 Lugs.
