Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
I went out yesterday and checked that fuel line. It was an obsticle delusion in the pic. It wasn't as close as it looked. I got the zip ties out and tied it and some wires back anyway.
Thanks for the heads up!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Well the '65 has 4 forward gears now. The th350 lockup we had in it kept randomly "locking up"', which got pretty annoying. So, since Lisa's brother is a transmission specialist, he built her a 700r4...well actually two...the first one has some weird thing already done to it and it failed. The second one works excellent! She also order a Lokar shifter which will be getting installed very soon. She's not really comfortable with the original column shifter that's in it.
I'll post pics when I install the new shifter... JC62

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Looks good. How long is the shifter? It looks like a perfect size.

It's a 16" floor mount.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
THIS WEEKEND:
(no pics, camera batteries failed) I replaced the column shift column with a 'four speed' column... And with the use of Captainfab's adapter plate and excellent instructions, it now has power steering. After I installed those things, I took it to Lisa's brother's shop to get the turn signals re-wired...he ended up fixing up all the underdash wiring. Looks factory again... Hopefully I'll get pics of all this stuff soon...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Thanks!
Finished wiring the signals yesterday. I had to clean up and re-shape the contacts in the turn signal switch.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Yes it does. It's also setup with a neutral safety switch so you can set it up to start only in park or neutral... that's not hooked up though. I may try to set that thing up to work the reverse lights.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Great looking installation, Hoser. Mine's the Gennie and I love it, despite not getting my floormat, or installing my shifter boot and lock-out switch yet.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Looking good -I went back and started again from page1 - You and Lisa have come a long way with the truck!!
What are you using for a heater fan switch? I see gauges cut in on the panel on the left side of the radio where the fan switch originally went......

As for the heater switch, it has been relocated to the where the lighter goes. The P.O. installed those aftermarket gauges on that panel and relocated the switch. Looks good... we are leaving it that way.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Finally did some more work to the '65 this weekend. First I replaced the heater core that blew up on us a couple months ago. Then did the fan speed regulator... so the heater is in good working order... Then I got under the truck and did some exhaust work. I had a set of pipes that I took from a parts truck... I got the truck up on jack stands and pieced it back together. I used some tips that I used to have on the '62. Looks real nice! Quiet in the cab, nice muffler music out back... she is very pleased...
