Nice job on the fuel line. Those valve covers are pretty slick, have to check them out for another project of mine.

rjs53 · 03-22-2018, 12:11 PM

Very nice work👍

stevenfromtexas · 03-22-2018, 09:29 PM

put my new weather strip on the drivers side. looks like door adjustment is on my list for tomorrow.

cornerstone · 03-22-2018, 10:13 PM

Pulled the cab back off in order to get some body work done easier, and to pull the TCM in order to send it off to be programmed.

....sooooo the weather strip "adjusted" themselves. I put them on and when I got home the next morning the doors lined up great!!!. Well.....great enough for rookie/first build/non show standards/daily driver/i dare anybody to say anything standards!! haha

stevenfromtexas · 03-26-2018, 10:09 PM

My sweet little wife helped me put my hood back on after I painted it again this morning.

need to do a little adjusting but hopefully it's on for the last time.

installed a new drivers/upper door hinge too.

Cbo68 · 03-22-2018, 10:27 PM

66clow · 03-23-2018, 01:24 PM

About to finally have an emergency brake

tutone · 03-23-2018, 07:21 PM

I put in one of those cheap Chinese cardboard glove boxes that about half way fit. What a pain in the rear. Anyway after trimming and fighting it, I have a functional glove box. I need to update my build thread with some photos of the new parts.

stevenfromtexas · 03-23-2018, 10:31 PM

Very nice! I spent only 10 mins on the '70 today, new highbeam switch. That's it.

wpavlis · 03-24-2018, 03:28 PM

Spent some quality time with a scraper and The saginaw I pulled out last weekend. Must have scraped off 3 pounds of a gross mixture of oil, grease and dirt. Tonight or tomorrow I will start disassembling it on my work bench.

StruttinSoul · 03-25-2018, 05:53 PM

Put buddy buckets and 3 point seatbelts in the truck today, amazing how different the truck looks now

rjs53 · 03-25-2018, 06:51 PM

I installed my new gas tank, pulled the seat and floor mat out and started cutting rust out of the floor and rockers. I definitely made more work than I did.

macdaddy70 · 03-25-2018, 07:14 PM

I got mine back from the body shop. New rockers, cab corners, floor patches. Then I drove it like I stole it.
He has had it for almost a month.

The seat covers are from Ricks Custom Upholstery

On a separate note, today I installed a jackrabbit original tunneau cover - love the way it looks!

nothing,I did nothing.hmmm I hate the snow

66clow · 03-27-2018, 11:12 PM

Installed new springs for the rear brakes. Also installed the e-brake cables. Are theses routed correctly and my cable is too long. If I cut it what should I block the end off with?

In looking at your pics the cable should be running through the outer hole on the cross member, the one with the plastic gromit in it , then up to the curled wire hanger in the frame and then to the back down the other side the same ending at the other bracket that connects the two rear cables. That routing may shorten the cable enough. Hope this helps.
