Re: pdx-sanity66

With the bed done, the next thing on the list is to finish the insides of the doors. I put some insulation in the back of the door panels but I forgot to take a picture before I put them on. first was to tape everything off to eliminate overspray. This Aluma-blast paint has enough metallic in it that likes to go everywhere given the chance. I think I might do a touch up on the lower panels. I painted the door panels an epoxy satin black with all new ss Allen head bolts to attach them. I installed my NOS door handles and a pair of very nice window cranks. So, that's one more project finished. Next I need to get some carpet installed, get some music going, and the AC. please excuse the poor photos.

Re: pdx-sanity66

I have been putting some miles on Sanity and really enjoying it. I've been in a couple of shows and hanging with C10 club here in Tucson that have a monthly meet up Ried Park. I've still got some things to do but they aren't keeping me from driving. I've got the mileage to where I'm ready to change out the break in oil. I'm also going to put some new plugs in and check the timing.

Re: pdx-sanity66

What are the colors top and bottom?
The pictures seem to give off a green tint on the top.

Nice looking

The top is the stock ivory white used on all 2 tone trucks of our years. the bottom is Seamist Jade metallic from 62-63 trucks.

For some reason my #2 cooling fan did not come on at the set temp so today I'm running some diagnosis on the controller. It is a Dakota Digital controller with some great test modes so I hope to get it figured out fairly easy. The outside temps are getting warmer around here so I'm going to need it.

Re: pdx-sanity66

Sometimes thinking that something is going to be easy is just wrong.
I spent several hours today trying to figure out what is wrong with #2 cooling fan including totally reprogramming the controller. Now both fans have stopped working. End of the day so tomorrow I dig deeper.

Re: pdx-sanity66

So, I am still working on my cooling system. I contacted Dakota Digital for some help. Their customer service is great. I went through some tests that Brian suggested and I finally determined that the relays are not working so I'm ordering 2 new 70amp relays. I hope this works because there are some shows and cruises I have already missed and more coming up. Car and truck show season is in full swing this time of year.
