Looks great . One question though I highlighted the area I’m guessing it’s a pass through? If so I guess my truck must have been similar as I have the snap clips all around the rear window .

Yup. It is a pass-through. When my wife was young she could climb through it. There were beds in there, on either side. There was a black vinyl piece that snapped on for privacy. The back had curtains. They would camp sometimes with just the truck; they had a trailer as well.

Rotated the tires and greased the front . I may run the poor boy look for a while

Sold the wheels off of mine today. It’s officially called “Shoeless Joe” until I get a new set…

Ain't got no tires...Makes me think of an old Roger Miller song. (King of the Road).

Now there’s a tune I haven’t heard in many years!

Got the seat frame and metal door panels back from the sand blasters yesterday. Got em primed and painted. Today I’m trying to decide if I want to use my new lower foam or keep the old (it’s not too bad). I have the vinyl with cardboard backing door panels basking in the sun getting ready to glue back on the the metal panels

**Palf70Step** · 07-30-2022, 02:28 PM

Finished up the water pump change on the 70. Put in a high-flow pump. painted it the other day, installed yesterday and finished up all the misc stuff today. She works good and no more weeping. No we can drive again!! Was a bit of a pain as it was first time changing one on a factory A/C V8. Very strange hook up on these old ones. I do like the newer serpentine setup for ease of access. Hopefully good for another 20+ years.

Nice job

67C10Step · 08-01-2022, 02:17 PM

Finally got all the dash stuff in. Your eyes do not deceive you. That is a functional Kenwood AM/FM/Cassette player. Also installed a Kenwood replacement speaker in the dash. Will figure out some rear speakers later. With no tank behind the seat any longer I have options. It occurred to me after getting the cigarette lighter wired up that my 20 and 22 year old kids have never seen a functional lighter like this. Need to clean the paint up a bit and finish up the antenna install.

LNP · 08-01-2022, 03:05 PM

Looking good

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 08-01-2022, 03:21 PM

Nice, a cassette player is not a bad idea, I still have some old 'rock n roll' tapes here.

72c20customcamper · 08-01-2022, 07:31 PM

Finished up the frame rails . Found the partial vin nice working on something that’s never seen salt . Now I need to paint the motor and I can start hanging the sheet metal .

LNP · 08-02-2022, 09:31 AM

Definitely not a Illinois vehicel then. lol Looking good.

South Carolina farm truck .

I didn’t know the transmission was orange too .

jgrote · 08-02-2022, 06:58 PM

Washed it, and peeled off some of the stickers on the back window. I'm not a fan of wearing my politics on my truck. Worse yet, wearing someone else's politics on the back of my truck. Yesterday, I ordered a new steering wheel, adapter, and quick release. I plan on making it as hard to steal as possible.

LNP · 08-03-2022, 09:40 AM

Looks like you've busy.

67C10Step · 08-07-2022, 06:20 PM

Fantastic truck, JT!

I didn’t do much. Guy came by to pick up some letters for the hood of his 68 and brought me a trade. Actual front license plate from the period for my truck. It’s about 1.5x thicker than new plates these days. Couldn’t help but put it on.

KQQL IT · 08-08-2022, 12:07 AM

Decided our master cylinder is leaking, not the wheel cylinders.
And worked on teaching my son how to navigate the crazies.

**zicc1835** · 08-08-2022, 09:21 AM

after much grinder wheeling gave in..... sent it off to blast yesterday

72c20customcamper · 08-15-2022, 02:04 PM

Got to the engine today . Need to pull the pulleys and paint also need a new temp sender gage works but sender is DOA . Also the upper and lower alternator brackets are cracked so I need to weld them up. Man I love the Eastwood SCT tool definitely have gotten my moneys worth out of it.

72c20customcamper · 08-15-2022, 02:05 PM

Valve cover after paint .

LNP · 08-15-2022, 02:47 PM
