Had to replace a leaking power steering pump.

Coupeguy2001 · 07-06-2013, 08:34 PM

workin on getting the radiator spaced back for A/C. I bought the biggest condenser I could find for the front, and it's thicker than I thought. Gotta clearance problem with the steering box if I move the radiator too far back as well.

New Bed Rails....

dubie · 07-07-2013, 12:07 PM

I installed a new bake switch, altered my throttle linkage to work better, installed the hood hinges and springs,and removed and replaced the u joints on my drive shaft before hanging it and giving it 2 healthy coats of satin black paint.

I would hope so. Especially since they were intentionally made to look like yours using dimensions you gave me. You had better like them!

Thanks again!

I think you will be happy with the small block. Easier to get parts and work on.

ordered new bed wood for the AD today and went to the bone yard and scored a complete serpentine set-up ac compressor, power steering pump and all bolts for $50.

Cleaned Rat Poo out the Cab, popped off my hub caps while it sits in storage because I'm waiting on title before I start the build!

Love the look of this, although I'll admit to looking at for pictures of that part of the front range. I grew up in Littleton and lived in CR for a few years before being exiled to San Diego a decade ago. Miss it greatly. Keep the pictures coming!

Just dropped it in to see what she looks like.

Now who can tell me the best way to seal this, its red oak and will see a lot of miles when done.

The usual oak bed wood finish is a polyurethane on all SIX sides. Buy the most UV resistant marine type you can find, then still keep it out of the sun. I planned to go to a marine supply place. BUT I've also read online that for decks THE best stuff is called Pentofin. Not positive on that spelling. It's an oil finish of some type. I may consider that in leiu of a hard gloss finish.

PS: Your boards are not each one continuous piece of wood? They've multi piece? Who did you buy that through?
