Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage

Many thanks guys for the encouraging words . I'd especially like to thank a great personal friend, Kevin Morgan with Ronnie's Classic Rods in Nachitoches LA, for helping get this truck where it is today . Both in completition of the body and paint work that was remaining and the paint issues that showed up from the previous painter . We're going to go enjoy a week long of hot rods and classic cars at Cruisin the Coast then we'll get back on it and wrap this project up . I'm ready to drive the wheels off this thing !

Enjoy Cruisin the Coast Chris, that show is on my bucket list. One year i'll have to take a vacation and come down there. Make sure you take plenty of pictures and post them up those of us that can't make it.

Yep Kevin (65streetcruiser) is the man when it comes to body and paint. (Even though he will never admit it) You couldn't have had a more suited person painting it, with his love for these old trucks. (Especially a '68) Nice work y'all! Now get that thing finished, I want to see it in print!

You have any info on the radiator/efan setup you're using? How about the catch can and the hard lines too? Awesome build, very inspirational!

Thanks Adam ! The aluminum radiator is by Entropy.It's a 2 row with 1.0" tubes Its the same one thats been discussed in detail on this site. The cooling fans are 11" Spal HP's with a total of 3000cfm. Im not sure of the brand on the catch can, it's a stainless unit that i bought at a show somewhere. Hardlines are 1/4" stainless that i bent myself.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage

Bowtie468, how do you like your gauge cluster? I bought a rebuilt one from LMC but, I really like the look of the one you have.

Is it hard to wire up? Would you do anything differently if you could?

I'm totally satisfied with the Dakota Digital setup . IMO , the ultimate backlighting color would be Teal . From my conversations with them, they have no plans to make that another color option . So i settled on blue. Wiring and setup are a breeze . The average guy with minimal auto electrical know how shouldn't have trouble. Instructions are pretty thorough .
Bezel was purchased from a board vendor . It's a simple bolt in.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage

finally took the time to get my park lights to come on with the headlights. Seems that Painless omits the needed wire now. If any of you guys installs the Painless Wiring harness (67-72), you will need to do this in order for it to function as original on 69-72 year models and it if want the park lights to be on with the headlights on 67-68 year models.

On this pic you can see the empty terminal slot on the connector. This is terminal #3 on the headlight switch and has voltage present ONLY when the switch is pulled fully out. Also in this pic you can see the terminal marked #7. Corresponds with #7 on the switch and has voltage present only in the middle position and feeds the park lamps.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage

Simply add a jumper between terminals #3 and 7. When the headlights are on, you are feeding power to the park lamp terminal (#7) by means of terminal #3. The painless kit will come with extra terminals making it a breeze to do.
1st pic shows wire for #7 terminal being removed from the plug.
2nd pic shows the terminal location on the switch body.
3rd pic, clip the #7 terminal off the wire and replace with new terminal supplied in the parts kit. before crimping or soldering, add a second wire ( 3-4" long) to the terminal and bring this wire to the empty slot (#3) on the plug. Crimp or solder another terminal on the opposite end before inserting in the slot.
