Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Checked to make sure the top radiator hose I ordered was correct(it was), so with that being good I cleaned up and repainted the thermostat housing and cleaned the surface on the intake manifold. Hope/Plan to have that altogether tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Last year made a faux pas backing out of my yard and bent the upper side molding. Found a guy that straightened it back to almost normal. Broke one clip and had a hell of time sourcing the right one but found it at Mar K, black clip in molding. The " What did I do to my Truck Today " part is I finally got the molding back on the truck today.. .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I really like these LED headlights.
Hooked the middle bar to be DRL. Pictures don't show up correctly. Top section looks like black chrome, then the white bar, then the bottom section.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Yes sir, no relay required...plug and play for the most part.
I just ran an accessory switched wire to all four for the DRL’s. (Key on, DRL’s on.)

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I guess LEDs require a lot less amperage than filament-based lamps.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Thanks! I'm using a relay and waiting for a bulb to go bad before making any changes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
9 years from start to finish on this restoration. It really is a restoration, though, I dropped it 4/2.5, of course suspension and brakes are replacements, as well as the badges.
I did keep the Delco HEI, which I pulled off a truck in the 90s. Mini starter, 10SI. Heads are off a 1967 HP 396, and I favored vintage Wittek band clamps instead of tower clamps for water hoses. Matches what they installed onto the bypass, I'm anal that way. Some ARP bolts, other than that nearly all orig. fasteners restored or just cleaned. It's been nearly done for 1-2 years. Last was the front bumper, which I installed yesterday. Quite an experience, and what's happened over nine years, oh my, so many losses and lessons. Anyway, glad to have done this once. I've owned it a long time, and the truck deserved it, but never again ![]() ![]()
