Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Installed Retrobright LED headlights, in Classic White. Far better visibility, and they look pretty close'ish to OEM. Classic Industries ran a 20% discount last weekend, so that really helped on this somewhat pricey purchase.

Replaced some scrungy rear wheel cylinders, but still failed to bleed the back system.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Over the weekend I painted my new brake calipers to be ready prior to my brake conversion. Used high heat primer, followed by VHT high temp black and clear coat.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Popped the rear lines off the combo valve and blew air through them to verify there were not obstructions.
RR finally bled out fine with low vacuum. LR still seems to have something constricting or perhaps leaking air Will confirm both in the cold light of day |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
After chasing and correcting a couple of wiring/fuse box gremlins, I dropped the steering column (hopefully for the last time
 ) and replaced the 50 year old tachometer.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
why'd you need to drop the column? I got my cluster out "fairly" easily without - just a little finesse and wiggling. were you in attendance at Enumclaw the other week?

Fresh paint mainly. Oil gauge line, speedometer cable, dash harness clip and big clumsy hands for easier access.  I missed the Enumclaw show. |

Finally got around to stripping and painting these pulleys I got from Classic Bowties over a year ago in preparation for installing a Gen 5 Vintage Air system in a few weeks.
