Re: My 1965 build thread
Screw the choke cable idea. Use a coat hanger like the old days. You make a finger loop to pull it And it's FREE :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
Ya'll ask for them now here they are.;)
Wrapped with tape a little tighter than last night and also used a zip tie to keep everything together. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...g/DSC00393.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...g/DSC00401.jpg Use a little oil to assymble. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...g/DSC00402.jpg One complete hose http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...g/DSC00404.jpg Went ahead and put one end on the return line. The one I did last night I used on the pressure side. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...g/DSC00405.jpg I still need the 5/8" adapter for return port. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...g/DSC00406.jpg |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Ah,;) ya that was good.:smoke:
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
looks good Alan, I'll have to keep that in mind when I hook mine up. But I'm running a m--t--g rack! I didn't want to spell a bad word!

Re: My 1965 build thread
Try Duck Tap next time. I had the same problem. I tried masking tape, and electrical tape. The Duck Tape is stronger, and holds it together better. Any other ideas out there? :fb:
BTW looks good Allan. |

We used duct tape also, but we also added 2 hose clamps and left a small gap between them and then used our cutting wheel. Another option is a cable cutter simular to the one below. But by the look of things you got it.. looking good:metal: |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Nice hoses Alan, awesome work!! would you be able to share the size and/or part numbers so we could make the same hoses? I have seen them in catalogs but I think they want upwards of $150.
How about using that aluminum tape that they use for a/c ducts? It's strong and also nice and stiff. Just a thought. |

Rebuilt a vent window tonight. Over all it is fairly easy. I had some issues of what goes on first. When I rebuild my other side I will get the order of the way it goes and post a thread on it. I took pics tonight, but I did things out of order so it would only confuse you and make life hard on those that follow what I did tonight. Here it is somewhat completed. The second pic shows where the vent window latch is supposed to be. I thought the pivot pin was available, but tonight I couldn't find anyone that sells a repair kit. I'll do some calling around. Also in the second pic I don't like the big gap between the inside part of the door and the vent window. Also I will have to drill some holes in the door where the bottom of the window track goes. I put the vent window in just to see what other issues I have. It will have to come back out in time. At least it's somewhat safe in the door. |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Wow is that a silver metallic flake that you are using on the upper portion of the cab? That looks really good with the orange. Have you posted a picture of the truck from a distance and I missed it :)
Would you recommend rebuilding the vent window or going with the delete kit and making it a single window? or is that really just a personal choice? |
Re: My 1965 build thread
I'm going to recomend that you go with a vent window rebuild. No one sells a single window for our trucks, because of the fact that it's not secure when the window isn't all the way up. Everyone that has had it done, had the glass cut and peiced a kit together! That's my understanding from autoloc. Truckin did a spread on it and also stated the same fact.
Looks good Alan cant wait for your window thread! |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Thanks ruffrida! Good enough to convince me :)

Re: My 1965 build thread
I'm going to go with a single window conversion myself. I'll be utilizing a power regulator of some sort scavenged from somethin or other...

I've seen a 70 Chevy with one piece windows. Even the owner wasn't happy. If someone decides to do it, mock it up before paint. That way the area around where the vent glass goes can be repaired to make the appearance flow more. On his you have to push out on the glass as it get close to the top of the track. The glass leans inside, why, I don't know. I would much rather do power windows with the factory stuff. |
Re: My 1965 build thread
I've heard, I'd like to address it and try something new, it's a ways down the road though.
