Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Pulled everything on the dash, along with the stock heater, and seats. I have a new sound system and Vintage Air system to install. Couple long work days ahead, hoping to get it all installed in the next two days. But I am very excited to work on it. Installing a bunch of Fat Mat while I have it all out as well. I already had Peel 'n Seal and some closed cell foam, but the 454 still invades the cab. But I didn't do a very good job with full coverage I am seeing once I pulled up the floor mat. Hoping for lower sound levels.

What I did the past month. Removed my interior And painted light fawn even though its a 66, tinted windows, new tinted windshield with custom chrome trim, new firewall trim, visors, door seals, glove box light "for wife", powder coated air vent boxes. And just started with a new deck on original bumper "Connell Chevrolet Killeen Texas", new spray gun is coming in handy! Thanks everyone for the motivation.

Replaced a rocker nut that kept loosening, engine is quiet. Filled it with gas, and took a nice long drive. I'm loving this thing. Can't believe I brought it back from the dead.

Thank you Don. Received the missing turn signal cover today. Painted the outer part of the instrument cluster this morning. All that is left is to paint the inner part the jade color I picked up last night. 1 step closer...

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

I am particularly partial to your paint scheme;), is yours a shorty, or a longy... easy fellas, talking about the truck...

I swapped out my dist today. I bought the Mallory a while back and it had a faulty module. Of course Mallory didn't care so I bought Summits kit with new coil and module. I finally put it in today. I am wondering how the truck was running with this cap. I have a feeling I was going to have total failure soon. I drove to LA and back with that Dist, 900 miles total. I also cleaned the front of the carb. It was filthy.

Wow 4 years, that's good to hear that it's almost ready to hit the road! I like the work in progress daily driver! That's exactly what mine is.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Put a new right taillight housing on, cut out an old trailer wiring harness that looked like a four year old did it and hooked the taillights back up (still no brake lights though, left signal works but if you turn the right one on, both blink), found out I didn't have the clutch head bits I needed to replace the dimmer switch and/or get the steering wheel off to fix the turn signal, and identified a depressing amount of cab mount rust.

Jay, in my world that was a bloody good guess ;)

Turtleman if my wife saw your reply, you would be banned..... I love John Deere, she hates it in principle.

When I mentioned once I really wanted to order a John Deere overall for my garage use, she said No Way. So I now wear red or blue...... It saddens me :lol:

Johnny, you were right. Sparks.

The flanges for making up my exhaust system were being lazier cut, stainless and mild steel for various parts of it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Rebuilt my heater control. I only replaced the levers (didn't restore the assembly) so the whole job only took about two hours.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Thanks! They're a handful.
