I made it through the first ten pages and you've been moving at a blistering pace. I'll try and read the rest tomorrow morning. Keep up the great work if you're not finished already

Started in installing my new front rubber brake lines. I had to re-work my brake lines. I thought 3/16 would be ok. I used 3/16 on the front and rear. But I think I will use 1/4 inch to the rear like they should have been. Just a minor set back. My bag. I am waiting on parts anyway.

[Mustard72]

Pretty common mistake, I bet.

Keep up the good work!

George next time ask me if you aren't sure about something, chances are I know the answer and if I don't I can find out.

thanks a lot brian. But I got it all figured out now.

Just caught up on your build. You're a inspiration for some of us younger guys. If I make it to your age I hope I can still get out and enjoy myself like you have been. Keep up the good work

Today, I had to go and pick up my son from camp. he was going to stay a week, but he had a small bruse on his big toe. he has to have about 1/2 of his toe nail removied. so we got him all picked up and got a dr. appointment for Wed. So I did not get anything done on my truck. But tomorrow I will.

[cubber]

Awwww, hope he feels better!

pictures of master cly and port valve. I have a question where does the front brakes line go and the rear lines go.

[lolife99]

I would mount the prop valve lower than the M/C so it will gravity feed to it.

sounds right didn't think about that . thanks

I installed the gas line today. The one on the tank look good. But I am not to happy with the front lined.

[gdavis]

As you can see I installed the gas lines today. I put some clear rubber hose over the lines in the rear to keep it from shafting. I did the same to the front but it is against the rail and it can't be seen in the picture. Tomorrow I will mount the lines against the rail from front to rear. It was getting a little hot today so I put it off untill tomorrow. I am hopeing to install my transmission line also. This way I can mount the front clip back on the truck. Trying to get it all together for my brother-in-law's work day. Which is the 19th and 20th of this month. He is going to fine tune the body work for me.

[gdavis]

Well, classic parts did it to me again. Rear brake hose on back order. Did I say I hate that word.(back order). My dome light came in today. Got it off the parts board. I need to pay closer attention to the parts on the parts board. Dome light 28.00 shipped. Classic parts 14.95. What a deal right. But on the other hand I did get the front brake lines installed today. I got my tie rods end boots today. So I started to install them , but guess what? The 72 tie rods ends don't fit the 68 linkage. So I had to replace the linkage and drag bar. everything is larger on the 72 verses the 68. I removed the 72 off the old frame and sand blasted and primed and painted them. Tomorrow I will install the new clean parts.

I just got a email from classic parts saying some of my items I ordered were not in stock and back ordered. I feel your pain on that one

I made a salvage run the other day and had them on the trailor. I looked at them the second time and took them off the trailor. Good thing I did. Huh
