Re: Daverods 52
Thanks Dennis I really want to drive this thing. I figure if I get it running it will get me moving alittle faster. Just seems like even the small things take forever. Hope everything is going good on your end.

Re: Daverods 52
Yup keeping busy, but not on my truck. I'm almost done with that 73 Ford F-250, and got it running. So I rearranged the shop to get back on the 57 sedan delivery. Now I have more room to work on the 65.

Re: Daverods 52
daverod,
truck is coming along great. luv the yard art too. very inspiring. Also not sure if you just plopped your distributor in but the vac advance usually points toward cylinder #2 so it wouldn't be back towards your firewall, would give more clearance back there too. Can't wait to see this on the road.

It's called "Tuition" the cost of learning what not to do.

Re: Daverods 52
Least they did'nt charge me much. I guess they get their money the first go around. Good company and good people. Now if I could just get my headlights to work. I ran out of fuses so I guess pennies will work.

Re: Daverods 52
I think that will be tomorrows project. I'm thinking just a piece of angle with a couple of holes in it. I'm sure there will be more to it.

Re: Daverods 52
Great looking truck!!! Do your headlights fit the original buckets and rings? I would like to use the same ones if they fit and work good. Thanks

Re: Daverods 52
I was kinda surprised that they were plastic but I guess they'll work. I still need top swap my park lights to 12 volt. I see that there's a 12 volt turn/park bulb upgrade. Need to get some tail lights now.

Re: Daverods 52
If you can find a bigger truck that has a good grill maybe you could buy it, the bars themselves interchange. The upright grill support bars don't (taller on the big trucks) but the grill bars are the same between all sizes of trucks. I know this because I have a 2 ton grill bars on my 50.

Re: Daverods 52
Did make some progress on the wiring. Just about done. I really know how to run a test light now.
