Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Correct, quite a difference between the two, thanks for the clarification.

Jim should be receiving the blue set any day now..., the 4x4 set.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Yes, at the time I had a lot of bare metal, and just wanted a way of keeping the surface rust down. Rustoleom seemed to be a cheap fix and when it comes time, I'll get Big J to sand it off, lots of experiance:lol:
There is a light weight filler to blend that seam in, but now that it is done, I'm thinking I like it better with out the filler. I do have Lab Metal but didn't use it for that purpose
Wow, seems funny to go back in time and see that pic

Re: PO has me PO'd

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Jim, I'll be here through the end of the month, then back home.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

You can't afford me, I've got so much time in on sandin' my services have become priceless:lol:.

I know what what your saying about seein' the old pics. Went back through mine awhile back. Can't believe I did all that.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thank you guys for your confidence. It's great to know that you are appriciated.
I didn't read back in the thread to see if anyone was asking about both. I pop into this thread once and a while to check on the progress. :lol: I was and am now working on a Longhorn for a customer, so I didn't have a bunch of time. WES

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

OK, more questions to find the answers for. If you ever have a chance to deal with Roger Koop out of Shawnee, Kansas, you will not be disappointed. Stand up guy, and does what he says he will do. He waited for me on an E-bay auction for a month to get all the funds to him, plus all the emails sent back and forth with questions. Knowledgable guy, and fun to talk to. Guys like him I like to refer to as a 'blast from the past'

Thanks to the guys on the board for the 'heads up'. I think it was 71BLKSUPER4X4
Guess this stuff gives me a reason to install my tilt column, or not! If I take another thing apart...well, you know how that goes, might as well do it syndrome

Right now my bracket for the cables is soaking in the rust resolver, I'll show it in two days

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Forgive my ignorance, but I've never seen a factory cruise set-up before. Is that what I'm looking at?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Sorry Tynee, should have been more descriptive. Yes, that is a cruise, for as close to what would've been supplied by the dealer in '72. But, I still have to get a master switch, to complete the package. Missed one by 1 hour on our parts board. I've grown lazy in my old age, can't imagine driving any considerable distance with out one of these

Here is the throttle bracket after a 12 hour soak in Eastwoods rust resolver. Even did a nice job on the threads of the bolts, left everything a nice light grey patina

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Had to find out if a 4speed bowl would fit from a nontilt column...it doesn't, but I did find a broken wire and a split race, so it wasn't a total waste of a 'President's Day Off'

Back to my original plan to shave and fill the shifter nub

PLEASE, no one tell me you don't have to take apart the turn signal switch to disassemble a tilt column

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Jim, I have a few 'parts' columns if you need some small pieces or wiring.

Would this be a good time to tell ya about the factory 4spd tilt column I have squirrled away...? :hm:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

What a tease.... :lol:

keep up the great work Jim!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

NO!. but I was aware of your 4 speed tilt:lol:

It could be fixed with a piece of shrink tubing, very small nick, but I can't figure a way of getting the tubing over the wire. I wonder if the 1/2 circle electrical plug comes apart, sorta like the bulkhead fitting does for the main engine/headlight harness

I could use a race for one of the bearings;)


Thanks 67chevy for the acknowledgments

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Send me a pic of what you need and I'll check the ones I have here.

triaddelec@trans-video.net

Use the e-mail if it's easier for ya.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Hey Jim...did all those parts on the work bench come out of the column? Wow, I had no idea!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

The wires come out of the 1/2 circle plug. If you look inside closely with a flashlight you can see the two retension pins/tangs that you have to push in to remove them. If you can't figure it out post or PM me and I'll find the connector I have and I'll post a pic. I used a small pocket knife to push the tangs in.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Well, yes except the steering stabilizer, exhaust manifold and my Dad's 1950's drill that came from JC Penny's. Or are mocking me for the condition of my workbench/storage unit:lol:

Wow!, great info. thanks for taking the time, I'll investigate further

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Here is a pic of that plug with 1 wire out, the size of the knife I use to push in the tabs that are visible in the picture. The second picture is just the wire showing the tabs a little clearer. I bent them out a little for clarity.

Hope this helps

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks for taking the time, so if I understand this right, the tang that has to be pushed down is on the top side of the connecter

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

No there is one tang/tab on each side of the metal connector. First push the tab on one side and then push the tab on the other side. It may take a couple of tries.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

he said "tang"...



I used JB weld to patch the shifter nub on my rebuild... I don't remember having to pull the harness apart like that but I used a van tilt so it might have been a flat adapter...


are you going to paint or PC the column once done? JB weld holds up to the PC oven if you are.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I've got some stuff called 'Lab Metal', neat stuff, you can machine it once it sets up. I'm still not sure on the paint/PC. I have to fill in the shift indicator lamp hole, dunno how I'm going to fill that yet

The harness has a pinch in it down to the bare wire. Thing is, I have a red four way flasher knob, and I don't think it is right for my truck. My auto. coulumn has a black push/pull thingy and I like it better, so I may be using that if it fits into my tilt

Yeah well, I don't think you have to pull the harness apart either, but it was a steep learning curve:lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I used the JB weld putty on both parts...

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Really? Got pics, or should I visit your build thread

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

here is one part... Now that I think about it, I haven't done the sleeve yet..

GONE FISHING, be back in 7 days

Forecast....snowing, 4 ft base, 32degrees water temperature, wind chill -10, winds gusting to 50 MPH = perfect fishing weather in New York

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

So that means your post # 629 in this thread will be showing a fish? :lol:

Have a great time Jim, tell the boys hello for me.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Have fun - enjoy the trip...

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Confused #629?

Probably not! 20 years of fishing up there and I only kept one that is hanging on the wall:lol: Of course, if I land a state record, there are very loose interpretation of the rules

Plus the fact that Jonathon gave me a Sage flyrod for Christmas and I have NEVER thrown a fly rod before. But, as you know it's all about hanging out with my sons and nephews

I'll pass it on to the boys, Kurt.! We have a new member to the snowmobiling/fishing trip. He works at Quadratec, so we have to be nice to him

Thanks LKSDCVN

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

You alone have now contributed 629 times to this thread. ;)

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Cool, don't know how you came up with that, but I will take your word on it. I now also carry a web cam, so I may be able to get some action shots, along with the stills

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I'm @ #127 with this post...:hm:

Why are you still here? Get packin'!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Have a good time Jim.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

How do you do that? Actually, I m leavin' Wed morning, just thought I'd hang out with use guys for a while

I'm really impressed with the builds that are going on rite now, lots of reading matr'l

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Snowed from Wed. 5PM to Sun. 11AM...Caught and released 3 fish, my 1 larger, to Jon's 2 smaller:lol: 2 pair of waders failed, so one leg was filled with river water, and freaking cold for 8 hours, but that is fishing in Upstate NY. Dick's sporting goods WILL be dealt with!

The grille on the boat was a pleasant addition, breakfast and lunch on the river

Now back to regular rebuild, after a pause for some pictures

Blew up 2 of the 4 snowmobiles

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Sounds like a great week. Looks pretty out there. Must not have been too cold, looks like the snow's WET!

As a former employee of Dick's Sporting goods, my best advice is to go to Cabella's, or Bass Pro Shops, or Sierra Trading Post, or, or, or...

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Typical Father Son biannual fishing, just great to be able to fit time into all of my sons busy lives, but I think they get the purpose of these trips. It's all about quality time!

Cold?:lol: just a matter of opinion...if I could have felt my toes, it would've been my enjoyable. And yes the river water was wet

Maybe not Dick's fault, bought a bottom of the line wader made in China, lessen learned

Also my Northface shell failed, so I was wet 2 layers down
Thanks for checkin' in Tynee
