Re: 1968 Chevrolet SWB Stepside Restomod
Vic and I have been planning something very special for the interior of the truck.
I will give you all a little hint, it has something to do with the climate control area of the dash, as for the reveal it will be a few weeks so you will have to wait and see.

Re: 1968 Chevrolet SWB Stepside Restomod
Hey, Soon I will be needing some kind of seam sealer. I need to seal the cab roof to the sides. What do I need to get and where is it avabily at? You know by telling us your climate control project is like temping a child with candy. But just like children we will have to wait and see.

Re: 1968 Chevrolet SWB Stepside Restomod
Hey all;
I went to the salvage yard and got the gas pedal and TAC wiring I needed today, new that stuff would have costed me nearly $200 and I picked it up for $43 I thought that was a pretty good deal.

Re: 1968 Chevrolet SWB Stepside Restomod
Will the USB power adapter fit in the existing cigarette lighter hole? Or does it plug into it?

Re: 1968 Chevrolet SWB Stepside Restomod
hey all;
I got lucky and the entire sub harness was still there for the fan setup, so I dont have to buy any electrical stuff. I forgot to get the battery tray though, oops. The radiator is alot wider than I imagined it would be, mounting it will be fun considering it isn't as tall either, so the stock radiator mounting bracket kit I bought awhile back isn't going to work, yay... |

Re: 1968 Chevrolet SWB Stepside Restomod
Hey all;
I ordered my fuel line fittings and clips today. I decided to use 3/8" to -6 AN Tube Nuts and run 3/8" steel lines for both my supply and return lines. This will allow me to use a simple 37 degree flare on a steel line, and save a ton of money over a braded hose setup with the added bonus that it will be more robust over time. It took me quite a bit of research and time to figure this out and hopefully this will save someone some time in the future. Here are the fittings I used with links. GM 3/8" female spring lock to male -6 AN. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rus-640850 GM 5/16 female spring lock to male -6 AN. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rus-640860 Tube Nut 3/8" to female -6 AN. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-220633-2 Tube Sleeve 3/8" to -6 AN. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-220634-2 |

Re: 1968 Chevrolet SWB Stepside Restomod
Hey all;
Thanks to the talents of Victor and the small contribution of my imagination here is the Climate Control Bezel. The Bezel has yet to be polished but I couldn't wait to show it to you guys so after it's polished I will install it into the dash and take another picture.

Re: 1968 Chevrolet SWB Stepside Restomod
That looks good! I'm jealous over the gas tank... On my list just haven't got there yet. How did it fit? Any problems?
