Thanks Johnny ! not much done this weekend. I love this site ! havent been a member for very long, but everyone here seems like one giant family. willing to help out with problems or encouraging words to keep us motivated. On another note, I was thinking of putting the chevelle pics I have in the "alternate tinkerings" thread.

Thanks again ! you and me both brother ! this time of year here the temps are all over, highs range from 45 - 75. I just need to be at the ready.lol

Finally ordered LEDs for gauges and dome light. I'll be putting in a couple more parts orders today ! also picked up a clock out of a mid 80s chevy truck from the boneyard yesterday.... $7.50 and it works too.

[XxCHEVYMANxX]

ordered my other parts, from Classic Parts of America, and a few from LMC. have to save up a little more cabbage then I can put in an order to CPP !

[jlsanborn]

Nice! So the clock is going in the cluster? What else did you order?

Thanks Johnny ! the clock will go in the cluster where the vac gauge would go. as far as the orders, here goes...
LH door latch mech, chrome door lock knobs, vent window repair kit,(already have all my rubber seals) ignition bezel, lower door carpet, sun visors, dash knob bezels, turn signal lever, ash tray/glove box bumpers, glove box insert, lower steering column bearing. I think I have an Ice Machine sold ! as soon as that deal is sealed, I can get my 5 lug axles, brake drums, master cyl. prop valve, power steering pump/brackets/hoses. after all that I'll only need a windshield, stereo, and maybe some wheels down the road.

[jlsanborn]

Exciting! You'll have to share your vent window adventure. I pulled mine from the doors and stashed them away. The rubber kit I got from GMC Pauls comes with new rubber bits, but I haven't looked any further into it or ordered the repair kit. Not sure If I need it???

John you might save some coin if you get the rear axles, drums, backing plates and brakes from a 71 or 72 that is what I did on my 70. The only thing I bought new was the shoes, spring kit and new axel bearings just so there wasn't any failure later down the road

[jlsanborn]

Not positive, but I think John's housing will be shorter. I thought it was '70 that they changed? I swapped a whole rearend from a '71.

Thanks for lookin out Frankie ! but Johnny is right, I have the shorter rear end. I wanted to be able to run a deeper rim on the back. the CPP kit comes with new 5X5 axles, drums and studs. compatible with 71-72 brake hardware.

Yeah, I love gettin new parts ! I still have new stuff in boxes just waiting. theres a good write up on replacing the vent window seals, I'll be looking that up again when its time. my seal kit didnt come with the rivets or tool, but yours might have. I'm sure I will post more pics than necessary of the whole ordeal.lol

Thanks Man! Looking at your sig, you've got a few irons in the fire ! I read thru the Havoc build up to the part where they said you cant drive it. what a load of BS ! Hope you can get that turned around.
