Took power from keyed source and hooked up the hei distributor (Red) and also connected the electric choke on the Edelbrock carb. (Yellow fuse wire transitioned to a red wire) Hooked up ground (black) per Edelbrock instructions.

Yikes! Dollie’s fuse panel terminals need a scrubbing...rusty!

**fishnixon** · 06-13-2021, 11:10 PM

The instrument panel is pretty plain and I needed an oil gauge, so in it goes. I have an option of leaving the bezel in chrome or to add a faux wood grain sticker ala 1970’s...I’m not quite settled which way to go...thoughts?

**fishnixon** · 06-13-2021, 11:12 PM

Dolly didn’t have the correct connector on the fuel tank...so I scavenged from a parts truck just what she needed.

**fishnixon** · 06-13-2021, 11:14 PM

I found the correct shift knob for the 1968 transmission.

**fishnixon** · 09-14-2021, 09:56 PM

Dolly got some new shoes tonight…it’s about time!

**Getter-Done** · 09-14-2021, 10:26 PM

Gearshift Knob looks Great.

Mine is the (Reverse on the left). That is a 67 Thing.

I could not help but noticed one thing.

The Mechanic that trained me do Brake (DRUM) jobs.
40 years ago

He always would take soft jaw Pliers and lightly bend the spring hooks.

I put an Arrow on the hooks of what I am speaking of.

Glad to see your post My Friend

That’s some good advice! I’ll do it.

Not being a mechanic myself, I appreciate everything I learn, especially from others. Thank you!

Nice shoes! I was wondering what Dolly was up too.

She’ll be ready for winter!

**Getter-Done** · 09-15-2021, 10:16 PM

If you will allow me to?

I am not the one too say (I know it All)

Please check your Inner and outer race bearing fit .
Before you assemble and install the hub.

If the bearings are lose on that shaft????

Thanks for the input…I did not do measurements of the inner and outer but your point is well taken. The hub feels good on the spindle with no wobble. I am pressed for time on the last bit of work so as to get the truck out of the garage before winter. I have a list of things that I want to do once it’s on the road. Again, thanks…sincerely.

**fishnixon** · 09-17-2021, 07:54 PM

Hub extensions painted.

Dolly has made it out of the garage!

I kinda feel bad for the ‘72 hiding in the back…

**fishnixon** · 10-16-2021, 11:05 PM

Moving around the yard…I still have a pretty long list of things to do, but it sure feels good to be able to move under its own power

Bias ply tires?
