He’s some pictures. It still needs some straitening up. I want to get some accessory brackets that mount lower and more to the side. You might even notice that the ac still doesn’t have a belt on it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Oh ya thats very nice. I see what you mean about the bracket difference but they work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Vintage Air and Allen Grove have what you want, I think they’re called mid-mount….

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
When I ordered those brackets from vintage air they told me that the only ones that they had that were side mount were bolted to the exhaust manifold bolts which would not work with my headers. At the time I was also looking for something that placed my ac in the same place as before so I would not have to mess with my hoses. It turns out that the mechanic disconnected my hoses anyway so that didn’t matter. After talking with Rocknrod and looking at the Allen Grove website I saw that they do make a side mount bracket that only utilizes the front head and water pump bolts. I guess I should have talked to them before I assumed that Vintage Air carried all of their products. Also the alternator bracket that I have on there now is not installed as it should be because the power steering pump cap keeps me from doing so.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I’ve mounted several of Vintage Air brackets, the headers just need a different length spacer, they use the first and third bolts, I have a lathe so it’s easier for me, I mock them up and just cut the spacer I need….Alan Grove makes great brackets also, have used them before…

I reshot my hood today. I did a substandard job the first time so I took it off and brought it down to an easier level. I made a little lowboy bench to do it and put these wheels on it to make it mobile. https://www.rockler.com/rockler-quic...oaAqz0EALw_wcB It made it nice to roll out and sand it in the driveway in the evenings and roll it back in for safe keeping.

I replaced the floor mats and thought I would cover the back wall to cover up the sound deadener and get the seat installed. I also replaced the door seals. I read the posts about the Honda door seals fitting better after I fought with the seals I got from another vendor. Now I need to change them so the doors will close easier.
|
Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Looks nice and clean. I was kicking around the idea of getting the Honda seals for a while but from what I heard they were not long enough for the wrap around window trucks. I went with Precision brand and they have worked vary well. I had a previous set from Steel Rubber and I had the same problem with the doors not closing properly and they kept on falling off of the lip. Also if you are having problems with your doors being hard to close it might have to do with air not being able to escape from the cab when shutting the doors.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Thanks for the info. I will look into precision brand seals. I don't like the ones I have now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
The Seals from a 2008 Honda Civic Hatchback 3 Door fitted my '62 perfectly.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Thanks, shooting a hood on the truck is a bear. I'm 6'4" and it's still hard to strech out to the middle and lay it smoothly. Getting it down to something the height of a coffee table is a huge help and being able to roll it around is icing on the cake.

I made a filler panel out of an old bed headboard to cover the holes from my heater and windshield washer squirters. I hope to paint it pretty soon and stick it on there. I ordered a "smoothie" cowl too from Classic Parts for the finishing touch.

Had to pause it mid-project to prep it for flooding. Twenty inches of water is the worst I've seen in my garage so far...so that's what I prepare for. Edit: That old Harbor Frieght floor jack even works under water!
