I bought them from another board member on the parts board a few months ago.

Re: 1968
 

Today, I only replaced the glove box arm. My old one did not have a good rubber stop and the new did. so I wired wheel the new one and painted it black and mounted it on the truck. I did get my new order ready for ordering. I have to wait until 1st week of the month.
A friend of a friend is coming over to install the wind shield this week. Then I will have all my glass back on the truck.

Re: 1968
 

I didn't do anything on the truck today. Yard work and I went and purchased a 1996 Sub for parts. New tires and a flat belt system. A ton of extra parts went with it. 350 engine a transmission don't know what kind yet. Anyway it will give me a lot of cool stuff for my 68. It is only a parts truck no paper work.

Re: 1968
 

I pulled the old truck out from under the cover for the first time. I said pulled still haven't cracked the engine. Me and the boys gave it a good bath. dust was all over the truck. Now it shines again.

Rob yours will get there just keep hammering away and you will see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Dean thanks for stopping by again. done some more but no pictures.

Re: 1968
 

Guys let me tell you about Dahos he is a member and I asked him for a glove box latch and a HEI distributor lead wire. Well he sent it to me and didn't even charge me, it was a good item. So if you have any thoughts of dealing with him. Let me put you mind at ease, he is a stand up guy.
I painted the latch and installed it on the glove box and it works great. I also mounted the round rubber on the column to the dash. and the bottom bracket for the rubber. I also painted the metal part of the sun visors, in place. Now everything looks great.

Re: 1968
 

That's awesome, just another reason THIS is the best forum on the internet. Truck is coming along and is looking great, keep it up!

Re: 1968

Re: 1968

Re: 1968
 

kowboy63, and matt everything is as good as it can get. 65 and still working on these trucks. A minor setback with my back. Got to take it a little easier. But look on the bright side all the hard work is done. If a person thinks he or she has it bad, then take a trip to a VA hospital. There is bad in all colors.

Re: 1968
 

yea, I think we forget how good we have it sometimes. Good health is something to be very thankful for.

Re: 1968
 

thanks for stopping by and I think you are correct on a persons health.

Re: 1968
 

Really coming along! Truck looks great! Glad you're ok with your back!

Re: 1968
 

Waiting on parts. The check is in the mail. Ever heard that. Still nursing my back. but better now. so I guess it is wise that the parts did not come yet. For I am getting in a hurry now.

Re: 1968
 

Glad to hear your back is doing better. Sometimes slow parts deliveries can be a Godsend.

Re: 1968
 

yes I know ,, but it doesn't fuel my working habit.

Re: 1968
 

Today I received one of my parts. Back up lights for a step side bed. Well, they were wrong to say the least. I hope I can return them for a refund.

Re: 1968
 

that just sucks. hope you can return it

Re: 1968
 

There will be a refund, but the lights will not have to be returned. thanks Dean
Today I painted the backing plate for the step side back up lights.
I painted the angle strips for the bed (supports for the wood floor). after I drilled and square holed the holes for the stove bolts.
I am trying to find a place local to have the angle covers chromed and the bed strips.
I will post pictures tomorrow.
