Re: 1968
 

Well, today I received a almost new alt bracket for the drivers side of the engine. Painted them up with gloss black paint. I also got a new gas pedal and bezel and wiper arms. I need to polish the arms a little. I will go and pick up my wiring harness tomorrow.

Re: 1968
 

Installed the correct arm for the alt. The one I had on the truck was a little short. I figured it was a after market one. I got one from a fellow board member and now it is correct and have a lot of adjustment left on the arm. the other one was all the way out.
I didn't get the wiring harness today. It will come in on Thursday. Then I will start getting the harness ready for the install. A friend from Lutz said that he would help me install it in my truck. The light is getting a little brighter at the end of the tunnel....................................

Re: 1968

Re: 1968
 

I didn't do much today. Just installed the new gas pedal pad and bezel.

Re: 1968
 

I had to pull the steering wheel back off the truck. The bottom tabs were broke off, so the horn cup has to be replaced, Just my luck.

Re: 1968
 

George, it the wheel upside down in the picture?

Re: 1968
 

It's only upside down when you are looking at it. I took the wheel back off. The locking tabs on the horn cup was broken, so I am sending it back to the original owner. I will continue my search again tonight.

Re: 1968
 

Broke down and bought a new brown wood grain leather steering wheel tonight. Be here Friday. I just got tired of trying to find the horn cup for the blazer steering wheel. I will order an adaptor hub also when I get my refund which is in the mail for the used blazer steering wheel. I will post pictures when it arrives.

Re: 1968
 

George you have the worst luck with used parts.
Can't wait to see your new wheel

Re: 1968
 

yea isn't that the truth,

bumper, wiring harness Oh I didn't tell you about that. I worked on it for about 4 hours and then grabbed it and put it in a box to be never used again. I found a wiring harness from rebel that I will be ordering soon. now the steering wheel. I cut my losses on the wheel and got a new one coming Wednesday. Me and used parts just don't mix.

Re: 1968
 

I ordered a new steering wheel Sunday night delivery will be Wednesday some time.
I also a adaptor for the steering wheel Monday morning and will be delivered Friday.
will post pictures of them then.

Re: 1968
 

My new steering wheel and adaptor hub came in today. it came from forever sharp. The steering wheel will be a improvement to my interior. as you can see I haven't finished the install. just have to figure the horn out. Do I take the old horn wire and use that?

Re: 1968
 

installed the new steering wheel on the old girl but, I might have to pull it back off when I wire the truck. I did not connect the horn. also a couple of pictures of the boys, they like to help when it don't mean getting dirty.

Re: 1968
 

I like that wheel, George! Strong looking young men, too!

Re: 1968
 

thanks. How are you doing lately? Have you got another project going>

Re: 1968
 

George do you know if forever sharps engraved horn button will fit that steering wheel so you can get the chevy one?

Re: 1968
 

I don't know. but that I will check out thanks

Re: 1968
 

Got in touch with forever sharp and they are trying to help with a boe tie for the steering wheel.

Re: 1968
 

In a few years those boys will be asking for the keys and be really eager to run to the store for gallons of milk, eggs, or whatever your wife wants them to get just to drive the truck around town. Can't hardly blame them.

Re: 1968
 

Thanks. I went by your build and you need to get the cabinets out of the way>

Re: 1968
 

Today it was a rainy day. So I didn't do anything on the truck. I did get a chrome dual return spring and attachment for the carburetor. Real nice set up. I got the wiring harness coming it should be here in a few days. Then the fun starts.

Re: 1968
 

Today. I ordered a few more parts.
all the hangers for the exhaust pipes and brackets
two chrome oil filler caps.

Re: 1968
 

Here is the wiring harness that I will be using, I hope it will be here this next week.
