Cruise is done. I got a factory 68 set up.

I have an idea for the electric window switches, sending you a PM.

I thought about the switches and decided I am going to be happy with the switches the way they are. At some point my obsession to turn this truck into a caddilac has to stop if I ever want to drive it lol. I think I better start getting ready for motor and body work from here in.....

I hear ya, a lot of stuff can be bolted on after the truck is running and driving anyway.

I hated the way the original glove box lights on a/c trucks never illuminate the whole box so I had tried one from a Buick a while back but found that it just blinded you when you opened it. I found this lens in E-bay a while ago and thought that would be nicer even though it bumps out a bit. now it will shine to the back of the box and its nice as it is made white to the front so its not bright in your eyes when you open it. the light just sandwiches the cardboard so no modification to the cardboard is needed.

here are some renderings I had a member here do for me. This looks nice. here are the ones with a black roof...

I bought one of those wiper delay modules too. I would be very interested if you can duplicate that switch setup for me. I haven't put mine in yet because I didn't know what I was going to to about putting in a second switch

I want to complete this switch first. I have one more switch just like it. If it turns out to my satisfaction I could make you one. I'll contact you when I have mine complete.

Cool, thanks

[chewychevy67]

I got the switch finished up. Here is how it worked out. I have a few things I need to do by the wiper knob but you get the idea. you can turn the lever behind the wiper knob and that will turn on the wiper delay. the more you turn it the more delay you get. ill post a video tonight sometime.

Heres the video of the wipers. https://youtu.be/XfVXsbGdSzU

Very nice, well thought out and executed.
The infinitely variable delay is very cool.

Nice work!

I think it looks stunning in all black, I never did like white on black and if you are going to paint the top a different color than the main body I don't think the top looks right without the two tone on the side as well.
That's just my personal preference though, I'm sure others will disagree.

I think your truck is going to be killer no matter what color it is. Its going to be one of the best.

[chewychevy67]

Thank you for the kind words. I am going to have a hard choice on the colors. I like them both. Was hoping these renders could help me with a solid decision but has not. I wish I could see the red interior through the glass. That would help.

[chewychevy67]

Here is one with the black roof and a light background. Also this one has the drip rail moulding. I am pretty sure I am going all black. The white does look good but with the red interior I am scared there will be too many colors close to each other.

While I had the seat and the vent window frame in I put the thermometer on the mirror arm with the mirror just to see if when I sit down I can see it clearly and I can. I was worried the division bar would be in the way. Here are some pictures. I will put a black decal on the end of the lens so it does not shine into the mirror head. the housing would be black, not chrome, to match the mirror arm. obviously the tape will be removed if I decide to use this and it will be mounted with a screw.

[chewychevy67]

mounted to the arm.

[chewychevy67]

and finished.

Here is the 66 impala telescopic wheel installed. This moved the rim of the wheel back to 9 3/4" from the gauges and I can move it out to 13". that is a nice range.

Very slick.....

[chewychevy67]

Thanks to photoshop here's the interior with the tele wheel. I like the 2 tone wheel but will probably keep it all 1 color.

[chewychevy67]

Got all the wiring in the driver door done. The thermometer light and the power windows.

[chewychevy67]

Thinking about adding a original style tool box in the bed side. Would be real nice to store extra stuff. Her is pic' of another members work. Just not sure how to make the 67 68 moulding work with this set up.
