As you can see, hoses are rubber and not buttoned down or routed logically.
I'm just getting everything together so I can get it mobile again. Then I'll go back and put things together nicer.

Got the column mounted up.
Also cut the shaft for shortening for the power steering gear box.

Okay, I need a little help.
I slipped on the blinker switch housing -lining it up with the tabs this blinker switch housing on.
.
But what keeps it from rotating?

Re: Lost My 65
 
What I'm asking is how does that housing keep from turning back off? Is there something I'm missing that's supposed to keep it from coming back off?

When you screw the turn signal switch on it gets locked in place.

Got the shifter linkage hooked up to the column and shifted it through the gears to make sure P-R-N-D-L2-L1 lined up with the shifter lens.
All is good.

Got most everything hooked back up.
Get my seats back in the cab, bleed the brakes and then
hopefully by Tuesday or Wednesday, I'll take it for a short test drive on the back roads.

So close.
Gotta stop and eat a sandwich, then I figured I'd better hook up the emergency brake cables first. That's all I need to do to take it for a quick spin.
On a side note ; I hooked up a vacuum gauge. I'm glad to see I'm actually getting 15 at idle. Last time I checked, I seem to remember only about 10 or 11.

I guess since he don't have to shift now he'll never return from the drive. ;) :lol:

Oh Yes! Man does it shift nice!

Totally Stoked!
I have a video I'll try to upload later.

I don't know. I got a great deal for the Th350 with the converter off CL.
It's a Summit with a B&M Shift Kit.

I have the floor hump out, so there's lots of clanging and clunking.

Looking good man!

Re: Lost My 65
 
Thank you.
I'm just busting to get it all back together.
I'll have a lot of misc details that I'll need to go back and button down,
but that's okay, I'll take care of those things when the weather gets nice. :)

You're doing a great job.. stick with it..
Show us some tire smoke..

Re: Lost My 65
 
Drove it around some.
(Sorry to disappoint you, Chris, but I won't be doing any purposeful burnouts anytime soon.) :)
.
So, driving it around today I notice a vibration that fades in and out. It's not a consistent
vibration at a given speed. It's the worst at about 38 mph. But it's not a consistent vibration at 38 mph, but rather; it resonates in and out while driving at 38 mph.
.
I'm currently reading up on the issue.
Threads I've considered so far:
