Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Some more minor electrical . I would like to put in a stereo.ONE that is Bluetooth,usb,ipod etc.Though not to be seen and there is a hole in the dash as the P.O had hacked it. And sticking with the original plan I used all the existing drilled holes in the dash as I am going to with this. Now you see it now you don't.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

In the Seattle rain the wiper motor siexed up on me. It is the last original electrical part on the truck.I had a job getting the motor out.Now to find a new one.The production date on the dead motor is 3-59.Early for my 1960.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

I used the kit from that Brothers sells. Converted my 1 speed to a 2-speed. It appears quicker than the stock 2 speeds also. It has been very good to me. I cannot remember who actually makes them off the tops of my head, but very good units. It has been tested a good bit in the Mississippi and Louisiana rains. I have had it 2 years on the truck.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Thank you.i looked into the kit.I also looked a Newport engineering kit.Though still trying to stick a budget kinda thing I worked with what I had.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

My wiper motor is not made by anyone for reman.though could be restored. I chose to take it a part.It was in good shape internally .I found that a breaker point spring became weak and contacted the inside body.Shorting it out. Greased the gear drive back up and reassembled, Work's again. Ready to reinstall.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Newport is who makes the kit for Brothers. They are real good people.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Got the windshield wiper's back in.Pulled the hub cap's off just for different look. Itchin' for some different rim's I am thinkin'.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

I dig the current rims, but it's your truck so do as you please

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Thank you.Ya i like the steelies and caps.I will go back and forth with them.The slight problem i am having is the truck is squirley with the old "maypops" on it. And it would benefit the true ability of this truck to have a bit more tread on it. Stay tuned.,

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

New wheels.Well I decided to add some morefun and tread to the truck.Sticking with the period 60's kinda hotrod look and a budget I scored these Cragar Eliminators. I had been watching out for these. They are tough to find as they are discontinued and looking for a match set is tough.17 X 8. Wrapped in 245/45/17 b. f Goodrich comp a/s 2. What a difference in ride and control .

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

A little detail to the new cragars.Back in the day the orig. Cragar wheel had a red bac ground to the emblem.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Still have the front sway bar to install.In the the beginning I wanted to make sure the rear wheel tub's would clear any wheel option .I only tacked them together .Now to finish them to come.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

We have not posted in awhile.Just been driving around without any hickup's.Still have things to change and build on to do.Though it's a bit cold out now in Northwest.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Been way colder than normal down this way too, just not like your cold. Neat looking pictures

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Accuair shut down.A thermal event occurred to me on xmas weekend.Made it to just over 3,000 miles and air suspension shut off.I know what cause's this kind a failure though not sure why it happened. Burned the keyed on power source into ecu. I M pretty bumbed out.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Accuair I talked with today. I just got to say unbelievable A+ customer service and help. Barrett at Accuair called me back and discussed the whole situation.A resolution and part coming asap.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Man what a bummer, glad they are helping you out, thumbs up to them!

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Thank's for the comment.All will be back together in a couple day's.The truck is fun to drive no matter the weather .With no air ride a bit low though. Congrats on the TOTM .Awesome

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Accuair is on top of there game.In 2 day's I have a new switchspeed ecu.I checked all the recommended .And plugged it in and back in business.Thank you . That emblem is a symbol of top quality.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Working out another bug. Accuair pressure sensor leaked air.It may of froze condensation? or just became a leaker.I did have it in the middle on one tank on the end of the tank.The Accuair guy's schooled me a bit and than sent me a new sensor.There is a difference in my old sensor and new.Back on the road.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

The weather has been pretty crazy latey.Snow the Bull will not do .Finally I some better weather is around.Got some more part's for the build.Still need to put sway on.had it awhile now.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Matching up some of the knob's.Picked up a wiper switch knob to match lamp's .

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

The snortin' bull deserve's some bling here and there.Bumper guard's I installed per some forum note's of original gm print's.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Some new tailgate chain's and the gate rattled a bit in the past ,so a little weatherstrip on the inside edge left and right tightened it up.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Got the frt. bumper diagonal bracket's mounted now also. The frt .frame horn is Z'd .Had to be a bit creative.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Progress :metal:

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Ok so I have been putting this off for a bit. The Snortin' bull handle's real good a sway bar can make it better.Being bagged the sway link's have to pivot.I picked up some heim's.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Sway bar on a suspension that is bagged take's some time to set up. I am trying to make sure no binding can occur.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Rollin' along. Time to change the rear diff. fluid and see how's it doing. All good .

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Installed a headliner to add less road noise and more insulation.And it helped. Still tryin' to keep the old sittin' in the yard truck vibe. No resto or all new look here and there .

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Maintenance is good on these old trucks. What are the details on your headliner? Hard to tell from the pics. It looks like some kind of vinyl/leather material.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

The headliner is a kit from LMC.Vinyl upholstered panel .It is a medium weight Fiberboard backed. Good color. Nothing fancy but fit was good and a fair value.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Back at it . Got the sway bar bracket's fab'd and installed.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

The sway bar is now on the frame mount's.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Bar is on the truck.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Moved steering lock to lock.No interference.Moved suspension full up and full down .No interference.Welded a couple of tabs to lacate the way link's to A arm's.The bar sit's up higher than then the lowest portion of truck.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Tested out the sway on a little freeway driving.Took the Snortin' Bull out for some pIzza at a cool place the Bull kinda liked and the wife.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

The Snortin' Bull has no horn.I had an old siren the the fiftie's .So I thought for the time it will be fun.Fab'd a momentary switch bracket and mounted .

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Mounted off to the side .Easy to switch. It's loud enough .The thought is to add a air operated train horn .

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Horn looks cool, but I really like your idea of a train horn!
