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 Quote:

Re: pdx-sanity66
Fingers crossed.
It would be a shame not to take advantage of the good weather.

Re: pdx-sanity66
Well, the new relays have not solved the problem. There is nothing else it could be but the controller. I have a new one on order. I have checked and double checked all of the wiring and connectors and it is all good. I've got to have this fixed bye the weekend. I've got some get togethers this weekend that I don't want to miss.

Re: pdx-sanity66
can you just hook up a switch to the relays to get you by for now?

Re: pdx-sanity66
Well, I missed the C10 club meet up last Saturday but I finally got the cooling fan issue resolved. I put in a new controller and relays and checked and replaced any connectors that were needed. I changed the controller power circuit. I found there was a problem with the trigger power to the controller. I still didn't work. I had dual 30 amp fuses between the battery and the relays that have been in the setup since I first put the system together. I measured the voltage at the exit of the fuse block to the relays and there was 12v so I thought voltage to the relays was good. I was WRONG. Even though I measured 12v it must have been weak. I removed the fuses and wired the relays directly to the battery and that did it. It all works now. So today I'll get to cleaning up and make everything pretty again. This has been an incredible difficult job trying to get to where I could get under the dash. There's not alot of room to get under there. I removed the steering wheel and proceeded to contort myself to reach things. It certainly doesn't work well being 6'1", 210 lbs, and too big of hands to try to get in where I needed to.
I am SO glad it's done. This 72-year-old body is really feeling it right now.

Re: pdx-sanity66
I feel for you, it's good that you solved the problem and can now enjoy the truck.

Re: pdx-sanity66
Thanks man, I almost gave up a couple of times but I'm too stubborn to quit. Driving again is great. Now I have to get an AC ordered. The hot weather is coming fast.

Re: pdx-sanity66
I installed a new temp gauge in Sanity yesterday and that is the last thing that was killed during all the mess I had. I am now ready to order an AC system. I hope that I can get one before June when we leave for the great northwest for a few weeks. If not, I'll order it for Aug. Other than that, I need to clean up Sanity for the weekend. There are a couple of events this weekend I would like to attend.

Re: pdx-sanity66
Wow! What a read! I love your truck, and work, and I think I've seen Sanity at a car show...
Can you post a link about the local C10 club? I don't know if they'll let in clunk V20's though....

Re: pdx-sanity66
Just get on Facebook and search C10 Club Tucson should get you there. They pretty much let all old chevy trucks participate. We have a monthly meeting at Reid Park. Thanks for looking at my thread and yes I have done a couple of shows.

Re: pdx-sanity66
Bummer on not getting the a/c kit in hand, but hopefully you'll be able to enjoy the cooler weather!

Re: pdx-sanity66
We just got back home on Monday. We had a great trip to Portland, Or to visit our family and friends. We had a great time at the Waterfront Blues festival for 4 days around the 4th of July and then we went to our 4th annual Beer Festival at my son Nick's house and had about 30 of our friends and family over and everyone brought some crazy beers over for all to taste. It was a great success again.
We left Portland and headed to Utah to see our first grandniece, who is 3mo. old. What a cutie. After that it clear sailing for 3 days till we got home. It's good to be back. I hooked up the battery on Sanity, pumped the gas a couple of times and it fired right up. Like I said, It's good to be back.
