Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
This might help, most aftermarket switchs used the same wiring scheme as the stock switches. Bottom one is instructions for a Yankee brand after market, top factory info.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Got some pics of my truck bed from my son. I told him that I would like it to be about the same color as before and with about the same gloss, so he had the paint mixed with 25% gloss. Here's some pics in the booth. He can do show quality paint jobs but that's not what I want. It had some primer spots where the paint had worn through on some of the horizontal surfaces before and he said he could air brush them back on if I want him to. I'm undecided about that.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Looks good the way it is, primer and patina are slowly going south.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
after a couple of weeks of working on my daily driver ( heater core went south on me) I am back to the death rattle. I ordered the 3.5 inch carb studs I need to make the new throttle bracket fit.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I cleaned up the garage and built a dolly for storing body parts so they don't get bumped or scratched while I'm working on things. Stashing the parts this way also takes up a lot less room...

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Sanded the base and clear off the cab and doors.
![]() The body was taken down to bare metal about 10 years ago so I'm only taking it down into the primer. The doors are coming off again so I can prep the jambs, the goal is to get it into high build primer on Labor day weekend. I also finished up molding the VW hood latch into the filler panel. ![]() |

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I'm going to switch to swivel casters all the way around so I'll get some measurements and a pic when everything's off of the dolly

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
How does that from bumper support (?) attach to the frame? I'm at that stage in my S10 swap...

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Pumping gas the redneck way. I am finally taking the half a tank of gas out of the car before I go welding and grinding too close to it (ok maybe I was already welding and grinding too close). Also get to test my new Holley Red pump. Works great!
