Anyone in the UK (in the first instance) got a glovebox door, in good condition they don't need? Also I need the rear window channel for the drivers side door.

Glovebox door needs to be for a 62. I think the channel will be OK up to a 67.

66-PMD-GMC · 12-12-2016, 06:55 PM

The rear channel is 60-63...
Same with the door... that's what fits..
Hope that helps..

That's a bummer. Was hoping that was a common part. Not much chance getting a 60-63 door over here. Not to worry. I'm not in a hurry so I'll see if I can track one down.

66-PMD-GMC · 12-12-2016, 07:33 PM

Sent you a private message

MacQuigley · 12-21-2016, 05:53 PM

Was it Perry Como who said "its beginning to look a lot like Christmas"?

Well it is

1st half of a FedEx shipment arrived today:

And those 6 boxes contained

Couldn't resist a trial fit!

Think I prefer the blue filter element. I'll keep the white as the spare.

2nd half of the FedEx shipment cleared customes today so I wil lhave it tomorrow and another shipment will also arrive tomorrow.

As Noddy Holder would say "Its Christmas"

PS Pete, thanks for the heads up on those Dolphin gauges. They look the dug's danglies!

mjh1965 · 12-21-2016, 06:00 PM

That engine looks awesome. Did you get the gauges and ez wireing loom from the guy in Florida that I told Pete about where I got mine from

Hi Martin, Had to check as I couldn't remember when he was but yes the guy is in Florida. I didn t realise you had them as well. I thought Pete said Steve had just got a set but he may have meant Steve got them for you. Much nicer than anything I was looking at in the UK and better priced and better looking (IMO) that anything else Id seen. Bill

MacQuigley · 12-22-2016, 12:50 PM

Guess what I'll be unwrapping tonight?

Grizz1963 · 12-22-2016, 02:22 PM

A lot of boxes by the looks of it.

MacQuigley · 12-22-2016, 03:12 PM

Lots of boxes mate, LOTS!

uk54 · 12-22-2016, 04:01 PM

Hi, looks like Santa Clause came early

MacQuigley · 12-22-2016, 04:13 PM

Oh yes��

Going to take a day or more to get through it all.

**66ChevyMax** · 12-24-2016, 03:14 AM

Sweet!

ibrown50 · 12-25-2016, 06:03 AM

Bill, with that many boxes at Christmas you must definatley be on the "Nice" list, I got nothing for my truck from Santa..... Does that mean I'm on the "Naughty" list

I'm not so sure Ian. If my wife finds out just how much this all cost I'm going to be on the very naughty list. Hell I'll be on the divorce list!

The instruments look nice Martin and the wiring loom will save some hassle. The one I bought has far more circuits than I'm going to need but I figure it would be better to have too many than too few and it only cost an extra $15

Bill, if I can offer you a little advice for these situations,

When your wife asks how much you've spent, remember always tell the truth......................Even if you have to make it up

MacQuigley · 12-27-2016, 08:52 PM

I learned that a long time ago Ian. I once made the mistake of telling my wife what my nice new shiny (well matt black) AR15 cost! That was a mistake. So much so I applied for a firearm dealers license and to this day every gun I buy is "for stock"!

If I die and she sells my guns for what Ive told her they cost she will be out a fortune!

Not a scenario many in the UK will recognise these days, but I bet there are a few of our friends across the pond that understand completely! And if it its not guns its the same with cars.

Though never trust your then 8 year old son to keep a secret from your wife that the parcels that were delivered when you were out in fact radio gear for you military Land Rover and not whatever it was you had told his mother was arriving. I got it in the ear for that one as well, though I remind him of that every opportunity I get, not to get back you understand (Aye right!) but to remind him of the lesson. It could come in handy in future life!

MacQuigley · 12-31-2016, 04:51 PM

I wanted to finish the year with some colour on the cab and I managed that that today with the first coat of Old English White on the interior.

I hope to finish the last of the exterior body work (a little filling) and get the who cab painted before I go back to work on the 9th (though she who must be obeyed has me out kitchen shopping again next week 0 small price to pay for the truck I want!).

A Very happy New Year to everyone and may 2017 bring us all everything we want - truck wise at least!

I'll pour a large one of Scotland's finest at midnight tonight and toast everything truck!

All the very best Bill

shp4man · 12-31-2016, 10:14 PM

Cheers, buddy!

MacQuigley · 01-12-2017, 05:38 PM

I'm beginning to hate painting! I want to get back to mechanical jobs. Seems like ive been working on this cab for ever. But it is finally starting to come together.

This is where I am now

I should have been further on this week and had the dash in and the final coats of clear on but a bit of spray through 9through the masking paper, blue on white), some quick repairs which went wrong and 4 nights of fixing that mean I'm not that far on but I am getting there.

The dashboard mods and repainting are also complete. Just to weld it in and clear it (that has the potential for disaster but lets hope my plan works)

If all goes well this weekend I'm hoping to get the cab out and onto the frame next weekend. Then I can start the next chapter!

Chevy Apache · 01-14-2017, 07:11 PM

Well what can I say that's a lot of progress and some mighty fine work.

mjh1965 · 01-15-2017, 07:42 AM

Please slow down Bill , you are making the rest of us look bad . But seriously you are doing a great job

MacQuigley · 01-15-2017, 07:39 PM

Hee Hee! Sorry Martin. I'm just desperate to get it finished and on the road so I can drive it for the first time! Plus, Ive a new kitchen being delivered in a few weeks and I need somewhere to store it while I sort other things out in the kitchen so I need the cab out and onto the frame. Got to do something to keep "she who must be obeyed" happy because if she ever finds out what I'm spending on the truck............

Anyway this weekend has slowed me down, or rather put me back. I had planned to get he last of the clear on but I needed to refit the dash first. For those who wonder why I painted both before the only answer I have is it seemed like a good idea. I wasn't!

First problem was that for whatever reason it wouldn't fit. It was too wide. No idea how or why that should be, but in fitting it I did some damage. Nothing that I couldn't repair easily enough but still that ultimately cost me a day.

I really through I could spot weld it in quickly with minimal paint damage and then only to the area where the windshield rubber would cover. Again I was wrong. So I now need to resprayer a portion just in front of the windshield.

Oh well you live and learn. Anyway the dash is in and most of the damage is well on its way to being repaired.
