My wiring for the rear lights is done and everything works as it should.
The bumper is also mounted.

Looking great.

I have a 67-72 bumper for mine.

Step is the other way around.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road

I've only gotten over that too, so my chances of getting a smaller license plate are better, otherwise I have to take a large standard license plate, our registration has no humor, I could change it later if the truck is registered

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Are you going to use the filler plates that go between the box and the bumper? or are you aware of them?

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road

We just wanted to go through the truck and discuss what else I need to do.
Now the truck has been officially accepted.
I still have to slap the VIN that we require on the front right of the frame and after the vacation from the test engineer,
I will get my papers and can then legally register the truck.
Thats fantastic.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road

Morning Harald,

Any further updates?

I know Easter weekend could be four days of government shutdown.

Of course we all wait for good news on your truck.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road

Thank you that is nice.
I got an appointment for next week, Thursday and can then register the truck, I'll report back.
I had hopefully repaired the fuel gauge and the horn, which made contact while steering and switched on, the famous little things.
