long and hopefully good thread

here are few pics of the work being done: gas pedal mod, brake lines, and wiring harness. the harness still has work once i get it into the cab. check engine light OBI port and keyed power. the whole body wiring harness is less intimidating because of the work i did on the engine harness.

so heaters! wow loads of stuff here on this site and a bunch of great info too. however, I will say if you're looking for a replacement part like say a resistor, or a switch not one time did I see it listed. Damn guys help me out, but through a bunch of reading and finding stuff I managed to find the parts and I will list them!!! funny huh. all this info and learning and I cant find one part number for a switch or a resistor or a manual valve to shut off the water to the econo air I have. well here is a pic of the econo box fan motor minus the resistor.
I tested the fan I jumped the single prong on the motor to the hot on a battery charger, then took the ground on the charger to the body of the fan assembly. the fan growled a little but it ran hard and blew bee carcasses every where. that worked great. the battery charger supplies 12vdc + or - I don't have a battery or a power supply and Its what I've used for testing when I NEED 12 vdc. NOTE: should not us this method on delicate electronics. fusing should be used but its an old fan if it blows up just replace it. did same on my wiper motor.
The whole unit comes apart very easy with a 1/4 socket and that's what I did. pulled it apart and got rid of the surface rust, painted and reassembled. this looks almost brand new to me anyway. here's the parts:
resistor
ACDelco 22807122 GM Original Equipment Heating and Air Conditioning Blower Motor Resistor. This is supposed to be the factory replacement. it looks nothing like you might find else where. but it supposed to be the correct part. I got mine at amazon $34
switch
HBSW60_1960. this i got at Classic trucks USA. seriously only place I could find it and know it was the correct one. looks exactly like my original.
water valve shut off
HAC-139_1960 got it also at Classic trucks USA. this alters the stock set up but there is NO reason to have that heater core HOT in the summer time so I need the hot water shut off.
just found that www.classicparts.com has the switch the resistor and the new switch covers. So I think Im going there. here are their numbers: 68-376 and 68-326 these are the important numbers anyway

Sanderson, they are very tight to motor and gasketless...

so my engine came out of a 04 chevy truck. i got the whole harness and the gas pedal . the drive by wire system will work again. had to make spacers and remake spacers so the pedal felt like it is in the correct position glad i re did this several times to get the correct fit.

Been a little busy finally got my bare metal primed on the cab. Also got my battery box repaired

Bought a gas tank a while ago and mounted it with out actually thinking about the bed and mounting of the bed over the tank. I had to remove the mounts and reattach the tank. this is what i came up with. I'm happy with it. But the tank is too big we will see when I start driving it around and see if it ever hit on departure of a parking lot or steep entrance. Its above the rear axle pumpkin but not by much. some mod to the bed bracket but not much, I may revisit this when the bed is ready to be permanently mounted.

So much time has gone by and so much work has been completed on my project. I could go through and post so many sub projects but I’m just gonna close this thread with where my project is.
