Oh Geez!
I do seem to sell them about the time I get them where I want them. Lol.

I hope to hang on to this one for atleast a show season.
But, everytime I say that I throw out a number & someone shows up with cash... Guess there's worse problems to have.

Well today I got the factory tach hooked up & working to the MSD Ignition without an adapter.
When I bought the truck it had a aftermarket tach hanging under the dash which I never really cared for. I was told it was because you need the adapter to get it to work with the MSD. I decided that I would try to hook up the factory tach without an adapter (I had heard it would work w/o it) or would spend the money for the adapter just to eliminate the tach hanging under the dash.
So I am very happy now to have a working factory tach not just a factory tach sitting there doing nothing.

Sounds good as I also cant stand those tachs mounted on the steering column, on the dash or under it....

JWall 01-07-2012 04:21 PM

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 
Yeah it looks a lot better. I'd decided I'd rather have no tach then the one that was in it.

Well I guess now that I found your thread there's no reason to come by your house to see your updates. Damn internet makes me lazy.

Used my new Porter Cable polisher to get the truck cleaned up... it will make its 1st show in a couple of weeks...

Sorry for the cell phone pics...

Shot of the hood after polishing but it looks more like a shot of my textured garage ceiling...

I guess when I move my next garage or shop needs to have a smooth ceiling for picture purposes.

You missed a spot of lint .. right there on the ..



















:D (kidding) Incredible truck man. I have always liked your valve covers, but I couldn't decide on the ball milled air cleaner lid, or the plain one. You just made up my mind. .. I think .. :lol: I'm so indecisive.

Not as bad as I thought it was going to be but then again all thanks to the new polisher.
I have a sample piece of a BedRug I use to put stuff on in the bed of the truck and I used it to kneel on while buffing.
Other than I just had to figure out a pattern to get all the grooves polished out the same.
Sure beat waxing that whole bed by hand!

It has the Billet Specialties V-Trac pulley system.

I do not know for sure but it would be very tight with a flex fan

Since I plan on doing a couple of long distance shows in the 72 this year and after talking to Big Al & OC72 about theirs...

The truck got a Craftec cover this weekend.

I've still got to get used to it but it's a pretty cool cover.

It clamps under the bed rail in 2 spots and then a piece 3M tapes to the front bed rail by the cab.
No drilling.
