As long as they don't leak.

That would be too easy. :lol:

Thanks for the info on the locations.

:haha:

The Philipines corrupted me.

I thought you went into the shop to work. Do you have a computer in there too? :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

We need to have them both ready by August..........Did I mention bonus :hmm:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Why, yes I do.

Hummm, If your weekly budget can handle it, it is possible. ;) At least your could be done that fast.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Ok now back to work.....:lol:

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.

One complete hose

Went ahead and put one end on the return line. The one I did last night I used on the pressure side.

I still need the 5/8" adapter for return port.

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.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Alan,
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.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

:thumbs:

Thanks for the tips Dennis. I like the hose clamp trick that David mentioned below.

David, I like the hose clamp idea. If you use the cable cutter it pinches the line. It would probably work good on a rubber inner. I'm useing teflon inner on the power steering lines.

Once I get all of the parts together I will post the PN's. I've got all but one adapter. Keep in mind, I'm going from a metric pump to a standard steering gear. Aluminum tape would hold good, but knowing me I'd slice my fingers to pieces handling it. :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Braided is the only way to go. Lookin awesome.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Alan,
What ever your doing.. keep it up...Everything is looking sharp..:metal:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Thanks for the kind words.:metal:

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
 

NO limit makes a one piece window kit for the 64-66.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

that link didn't work. I would love to have a one peice window kit. but have been told that it's not secure when the window isn't all the way up

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

i like the vent windows especially with no a/c

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

:metal: Thanks, Alan. That's one I've got to face soon - as the guy that ripped my rig off roached both sides in doing so. Great pictures. (This is how it's done, Joe).

Mac. :lol:

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...
