Re: Project: Shiro
It was a simple one. The little tabs on a few of the individual bulb holders were flatened out, I bent them up which made a better contact and poof bright lights.

Re: Project: Shiro
Are you going to tear into now? I hope to see some updates soon, if so.

Re: Project: Shiro
Good!!! It seemed a shame to get rid of her when you have almost all the pieces/parts to make her whole. I saw where you said you may swap her to a '68 frontend...if you do, I may be able to help with a few pieces, just let me know. It'd be a great excuse to go to the beach for the weekend

Re: Project: Shiro
Played around in the garage a little today. Installed an actual 6 cylinder tachometer, it's nice to know what RPM the old stove-bolt is turning.

Re: Project: Shiro
Well, I finally got the truck up on the blocks and ready for disassembly.
Figured I'd start at the front so I pulled the grill.

Re: Project: Shiro
After pulling the grill I found some evidence to help answer the question about this strange hole in the firewall.
Holes in the core support for the freon lines. Passenger side mounting hole for the condensor. Driver side mounting hole for the condensor. I figure the truck had an aftermarket A/C unit at some point. Not really a big deal but I have been curious about it since the truck was delivered. Mystery solved!!

Re: Project: Shiro
Got quite a bit done today...
Hood and hinges removed. Looks pretty good without all that pesky wiring! ![]() Front and rear wiring removed, most of which was up hacked up. Oh, and the bed is ready to be removed. ![]()
