Re: 1968
 

If I am up and running by then. I still need 1000.00 more dollars for my final order. Maybe in a few weeks I can get it done. At least ordered.

Re: 1968
 

Today I installed the:
head light switch
wiper switch
dash cluster
left and right sun visors with new chrome visor clips
inside rear view mirror arm
dimmer switch with new pigtail
lay out the carpet to be installed tomorrow.
glove box door
brake light switch
I removed the last 1/2 inch of coating on all my wires so when I do start with the wiring that will be ready.
good thing the cluster is going to cover the light and wiper switch for you can see the damage I done. A bull in a china shop.

Re: 1968
 

The instruction for the carpet said to let it lay for 12 to 24 hours before installing it. I see why it didn't lay flat maybe tomorrow.
I want to install the carper and the door sills and the bench seat tomorrow. If I get that done it will be a good day.

Re: 1968

Re: 1968
 

Looking great George! It's really nice to see all the parts coming back together again, isn't it?

Re: 1968
 

yes it is. I like when things go together and start looking like a truck again.

Re: 1968
 

thanks a lot I got several thing done above the items I wanted to get done.

Re: 1968
 

Today, I finished out the carpet and put the door sills in place.
I put the brake pedal rubber pad on the pedal
I put the start on and off name plate on the truck
the E brake pad and bezel
the seat has been placed in the truck. maybe tomorrow I will mount the seat to the floor.
I installed the blue dot on the tail light lens.

Re: 1968
 

more pictures. the steering wheel I am going to replace later down the road.

Re: 1968
 

Boy, George, you look a lot younger than you let on.....

So what all is in the final order that adds up to around $1000? Got a sizeable order coming up myself for leaf springs, but you are way beyond that point.

And, yes, the rest of that immaculate interior makes that steering wheel look kinda scruzzy. Maybe some armor all will shine it up a bit (and make you unable to grip it:lol:).

Re: 1968
 

That is one of my boys he helps me all the time. at least he thinks he is. I sent you a PM.
as far as the steering wheel it will have to do until later.

that 1000.00 doesn't even count the wood bed floor

Re: 1968

Re: 1968

Re: 1968
 

Today, I repainted the glove box door. It was a different shade of orange.
I repainted the ash tray orange.
re-installed the glove box door.
installed the door jams switches left and right.
Cut the hole in the carpet for the dimmer switch and installed the grommet.
painted and mounted the wire cover on the steering column

Re: 1968
 

I mounted the left and outside rear view mirrors.

Re: 1968
 

I also painted the front lip under the hood black. it looks a lot better black

Re: 1968
 

Just remember, when you see that wheelbarrow in the mirror, it will be closer than it appears...;)

What are the door switches for, courtesy lights?

I thought it looked good orange, but you're right, that black does look better, I think.

Re: 1968
 

You are a man on a mission!

Did you buy the chrome mirrors new or have them replated?

Re: 1968
 

yea the switches are for the courtesy lights. Thanks for you comments on the color
