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

72c20customcamper · 08-20-2022, 02:36 PM

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

72c20customcamper · 08-20-2022, 05:28 PM

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.

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 08-21-2022, 09:24 AM

LoL Mark, that would be a good/bad way to check the oil pressure

Marty68 · 08-22-2022, 04:36 PM

this MONTH the 283 that came with my truck lost compression on one cylinder each bank. so i recruited my daughters boy friend to help swap in a fresh "corevette" 350 78 vette 30k miles 10 miles on rebuild domed pistons roller timing chain rockers and hyd roller rockers. builder stated 400 hp. maybe 375. my forst engine swap sonce the 80s. new exhaust being installed today.

72c20customcamper · 08-23-2022, 07:28 PM

Got the gate , tail lite brackets and glove box door epoxy primed . Going to spray the high build tomorrow have a 72 hour open window .

72c20customcamper · 08-23-2022, 07:31 PM

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 .

**thedudeabides86** · 08-24-2022, 11:08 AM

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.

OregonNed · 08-24-2022, 11:49 AM

Ignition switch changed out and overall cleaned up for this Saturday's next car show.

72c20customcamper · 08-24-2022, 07:11 PM

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 .

72c20customcamper · 08-25-2022, 07:10 PM

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 .

72c20customcamper · 08-25-2022, 07:14 PM

And I finally got a grommet that fits

67C10Step · 08-26-2022, 04:20 PM

LNP · 08-26-2022, 05:36 PM

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 original switch on the wiper/washer runs the new pump. With the hoses no longer running through the firewall there was a perfect pass through for the wiring harness I built plus the fuel level from the rear mounted tank.

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.

I will check the switch out to see how you wired it. Thanks. I like the idea of the electric pump. And the tank looks like it fits well there too. Thanks again

Set up my “Spray booth” today

**68bowtie** · 08-27-2022, 08:38 PM

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.
