Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Semi restored the heater box . Need to get some HVAC foam tape for around the upper hose inlet . So far everything on the truck seems to have been made around oct 1967 so pretty much original to the truck

I’m liking this flex seal liquid rubber . Works great on wire clamps dip’d twice in 6 hours left overnight to dry this is dry

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got the dash apart going to paint the inside cab this week . Had to put the cluster back in to move it . Almost started it with the oil line dangling.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Little bummed out . Gathered up the tail lites and one of the backup lites is damaged . I know it wasn’t when I bought it so it must have got bumped around in the storage box .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
After a few years of running this truck on my own sweat, cussin', and frustration, I got it serviced. Sealed up all the gaskets, replaced the intake, carb, and exhaust manifolds and it hauls a$# now!! Still needs a lot more work, bust she's prettier now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got the inside of the cab ready for paint . There were runs on the dash and back panel. The runs were actually in the primer .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got some more done on the cab. Not going to be able to paint till at least Sunday . Going to pick up mom tomorrow and Saturday is my granddaughters 1st birthday party. Tailgate and dash pieces are all sanded and ready for paint . The roof was really weird lots of what looked like drips in the primer and very thin paint . Need to hook up the oil pressure gage so I can move it into the garage for paint. I have the cluster apart to repaint the bezel and needles .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I take it the original wiper/washer switch doesnt work the pump or does it? I got a 69 so its more a mechanical pump.

Looks Good ! Every time Mrs Grumpy comes home and sees another box from Fed Ex / UPS or Summit she says "Did I get another birthday present ?"

The old click clack pump had a sort of timer but this one will run only when you hold the button in. But it squirts way better.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I trimmed in my carpet today and installed the dash pad and belts. The ACC carpet was a damn good fit in general, just a bit more wrinkle than I’d like over the trans hump. But I can live with it. I expected way worse.
