Can't say that I was there, should've been...wife wants to go to the Marine Corps Ball. My Brother is going to the one at 3rd and I this year

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Nice i miss the Marine Corps Ball good times there!, my wife also mentioned on how she would like to go again but i didnt know you could go if you were not still active!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Tun Tavern no longer exists, having burned down in 1781. Its original location is now occupied by Interstate 95. The National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia contains a Tun Tavern-themed restaurant with a lunch menu and alcoholic beverages and bread pudding.


Semper Fi

Re: PO has me PO'd

Re: PO has me PO'd

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks bud...just down there now working on that side, I was going to steal the drivers side one:lol:

Should fit in a flat rate box, if you live near a Post Office

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Geeeze...three days without an update! :sumo:


Stop putting it off...someday you DO have to finish it ya know. :lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Hey Jim,

You feelin' okay...?

Almost a month since your last update.

Oh I know, your gonna surprise us, aren't ya? :two:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Sorry my hip went out again, pretty hard to get around...but alittle progress! Headlights, high/low beams, running lights, turnsignals, side markers, w/s wipers, horn all work. Left the key on acces. first night and sucked the battery down

Wagner Halogen Headlights, really white light, 25 bucks a pop. The new relays really put the power to the lights, keeping it off of the 40 year old switch

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...replace124.jpg

Thanks Tynee for the voltage regulator, good people on this board

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...replace126.jpg

New relays for the electric fan and the electric water pump
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...replace133.jpg

working on the electric fan install...had to modify the alum. rad. mounts again, this time it was because the harness got thicker with the relays on the passenger side...hindsight, mount all the relays on the drivers side

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...replace132.jpg

Ended up cutting the mount horizontal, then making two cuts vertical with the cutoff wheel, then tapped the end back to close up the joint

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Good job Jim, are we driving the Jimmy to Kurt's?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Don't do it, we use salt on the roads in the winter...lots of salt. :(


Jim, I've used those relays for the headlights before too, it's an excellent mod for sure.


Nice report, didn't know you were injured, sorry to hear it, thanks for jambing around on the walker to get the pics tough. :haha:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Glad to see it put to use. It definitely looks better mounted to your firewall that it did laying in the floor of my shed.

Sorry to hear you weren't feeling good. The Jimmy's really starting to look like a truck now...

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Looking at that pic of the relays reminds me I want to add side markers to my Blazer. Can you look at your harness and see which wire the side marker lamp taps off of? I don't know tho, its looking a lot like a nearly complete truck to me! Keep up the good work, Thanks, Jeff.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

side markers are brown and black, tied into turn signals which are brown and blue...markers flash with turn signals, Thanks for lookin', when you gettin' home?

Thanks for the part, just another piece to the puzzle done. Once you drill out all the rivets, you end up with a base and cover. Hope things start to brighten up for you

That only gives me 4 months to finish it and, well...you know how slow I work:lol:

Nicely done on your signature, very respectful! Honestly, I don't know how I would handle it after 37 years. Anytime ya want to talk, ya got my numbers

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...eplace14-1.jpg

could be the last time to mount the rad. on the core support...maybe
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...eplace14-2.jpg

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

You can do it!

And thanks, I will take you up on the offer one day soon. I'm just taking it one day at a time.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I leave here on Monday!! Will be in Hawaii for ten days with the family for a little vacation and then back to Bremerton on the 5th of November. Check in to the ship on the 6th and probably be haze gray and underway. Thanks for the wire tags. Might be able to get that done while I'm waiting to fly out to the ship.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Glad you're getin' alittle R&R, don't forget I have a '68 front end on here, wire colors could be differant

good luck to ya, and keep in touch

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

same boat. a guy painted my father-in-law's 70 truck in like 97 or 98. My 69 rusted so bad the cab was sitting down around the mounts. I tried for years to buy the 70 from my brother-in-law. He finally gave me the truck and I thought I had something by running my hand along the bottom of the rockers and visually checking, eyeballing. Brought it home and in the same boat as you, the guy overlayed the rockers. Tons of work now. Scott

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Got pics. of your project, curious to see what ya got? Thanks for lookin'...

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

i will get some afterwards pics. most of the rust has been cut away and replaced. replaced outer and inner rockers, one corner post, both cab corners and did some patch work on one floor pan....i will try to get some pics and get them posted. i can check things on this laptop but can't get pics posted. when my home PC is up again i can post the few before pics i have and some latter ones. right now i have parts swinging from near every rafter/truss in the building primed and will start painting parts early next week...will try to post them...s

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Start up a build thread, let us see what you've got & how your working with it.

Don't wanna Hi-Jack this guys thread...;)

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

well, got the electric rad. fan running, man does that Jeep /Chrysler fan blow/suck

Kinda Rube Goldberg, but I have to get a new fan shroud anyway. M&H did it again, just hooked the black and blue wires up, and grounded the temperature wire out, put the key in the on position and success. Removed about 2 inches from the shround, where the fan mounts up
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...eplace14-3.jpg

I may change where M&H broke out the wire, right now it comes out up at the rad. bracket. I think that it would be cleaner if I break it out down by the relay. I'll call them Monday and see if they mind

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Good job.

And I had a comment for that last part, but I'll leave it alone. :lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Set it up so it sux real good, you'll be a happy man. :bo2:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks! This is a family board after all:lol: Possibly a bad choice of words on my part in retrospect

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Yep! it defiantly sux

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

what years does that chrysler fan cover? I had looked back thru and did not see any info might have missed the info but interested in your setups specs. thanks, Jon

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Got the info off of a thread on the pickup board awhile back. A guy in northern jersey came up with the idea, supposed to be a factory fan outta a cherakee. I'll see if I can find the thread for ya. How's your floorboards coming out?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks, they turned out really good thanks for the info. I have gotten my whole cab done all of the cancer is gone and just have a couple of welds to clean up/hammer dolly. Now i am just trying to figure out whether to pay to have it blasted or strip the rest of the years of paint myself before painting.
