Nice door gaps. Looks like a nice fit.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
It's amazing how differently some things fit. My '82 Regal was parked in the street and someone backed into the left rear door, caved it in, and took off. It was easier to buy another door at Pick-Your-Part on a holiday for $12.50 than buy body work. It required a massive amount of adjustment to be made to fit. I'm not a body man. The difference surprised me quite a bit.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Is it down there by the wire retainer hook?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Yeah. About an inch out from the hook at 11 o'clock.
Think I have a warranty claim?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Probably not, but you might interest the FBI in working on their data recovery repertoire. They've probably not done a rubbing on a backup light bracket, yet.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I acquired a functional truck AM/FM radio recently. The AM/FM band selector switch has a little string attached to it that rotates a drum that has both the AM and FM frequencies displayed on it. I broke the string changing bands. I ordered some replacement string on eBay designed for this application and installed it today. The drum is operational again. I had to fabricate a new little clip to crimp the ends of the string together because the original one fatigued and broke when I bent it open. It's missing the AM and FM labels, so I've got some on order. Here's a video of the drum in action.
https://youtu.be/V9JgVtNmHLM When I first received the radio, the lens appeared to be missing the Delco script, but I discovered the lens was installed upside down so it was hidden. Last edited by pjmoreland; 09-06-2022 at 02:46 AM. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
The, I don't know the correct name for it, plate under the dash that the brake/clutch pedals rest stop, the plate that has the rubber stops on it when released, has disappeared on my 1969 truck. Does anyone have one to sell, or can tell me where to purchase one, and the correct name for it?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Its the pedal stop plate. Heres a photo that LocDoc posted in another topic on this forum. And a link to a place I think makes them. If they dont maybe someone on here will have a used one they could sell you or you might try junk yards.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I installed the caster mod and the bump steering mods this weekend on my 67. Had to trim some off the back side of the A arm and on the bump steer mod I cut my adjusters and added about 3-3/4" to make them reach the heim joint. Now I have to give it the new alinement and I will be done again
Thanks everyone for all the info on these mods. Last edited by cab4word67; 09-06-2022 at 12:03 PM. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I did my alinement today and found I have 9.5 deg caster on the left side and 11 deg on the right side. Camber is .25 on both sides. I cant go less on the caster on the right so I mite increase the driver side. Anyone out there see a problem with them being 1.5 deg different?
Well I could I guess, we will see tomorrow. Last edited by cab4word67; 09-07-2022 at 01:16 AM. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Since it’s raining I decided to soak some parts in Rust 911 very impressed with the two day soak . I intentionally left half out to see the results .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Should be easier to take apart . The vent widow would hardly move prior to soaking

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Seems like a whole lot of caster to me. If everything is even it probably does drive nice. If the arms had 5 degrees made in them then I wouldnt have moved them at all. Just my two cents.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
That makes sense. Personally I would definitely try to get both side within half a degree of each other.
