You bet. Holler at me if you see a CL item or something you need from up Seattle way and I'll see what I can do. I'm in Portland every coupla months or so.

Enjoying this also. Keeping track of all you are doing for when I decide to go from my 3-speed to a T350.

LostMy65 · 01-16-2016, 08:09 PM

Lately it's been just too cold to tinker.
But today it was a whopping 50 degrees.
Which is not bad working weather.
Got some stuff done.
Got the Transmission cooler hooked up.
Found some good info here.

.
Also got the 12-Bolt all bolted up along the brake lines and driveline.
Pretty happy with today's progress.
Hopefully this week I can start it up and see if the tranny shifts through the gears.

Nice progress. . Very nice indeed

My 65 cab is on a 62 frame.
The front cab mounts are located differently.
I didn't want to move my existing ones in the event I ever go back to a newer frame.
I tried finding replacement mounting washers, but they were rather costly.
I found these for $10 shipped.
Strut caps.

I'm excited to say I got it all going and shifting through the gears. Got it nice and warm and revved it up some to verify no leaks. So cool - all is good.
So,
Next week I'll mount the cab back down and start hooking everything back up.

66Z71 · 01-24-2016, 12:32 AM

Nice. Can't wait to see it running around soon.

LostMy65 · 01-24-2016, 05:45 PM

Had some time today after all.
Got the cab mounted down.

66-PMD-GMC · 01-24-2016, 10:48 PM

Nice progress

**Palf70Step** · 01-24-2016, 10:59 PM

Gettin back to that cruisin' state!

LostMy65 · 01-25-2016, 09:42 AM

As you can see, hoses are rubber and not buttoned down or routed logically.
I'm just getting everything together so I can get it mobile again. Then I'll go back and put things together nicer.

LostMy65 · 01-25-2016, 09:45 PM

Got the column mounted up.
Also cut the shaft for shortening for the power steering gear box.

LostMy65 · 01-25-2016, 10:53 PM

Okay, I need a little help.
I slipped on the blinker switch housing -lining it up with the tabs this blinker switch housing on.
.
But what keeps it from rotating?

LostMy65 · 01-26-2016, 11:26 AM

What I'm asking is how does that housing keep from turning back off? Is there something I'm missing that's supposed to keep it from coming back off?

66-PMD-GMC · 01-26-2016, 09:30 PM

When you screw the turn signal switch on it gets locked in place.

LostMy65 · 01-26-2016, 09:38 PM

Thank you.

LostMy65 · 01-27-2016, 08:33 PM

Got the shifter linkage hooked up to the column and shifted it through the gears to make sure P-R-N-D-L2-L1 lined up with the shifter lens.
All is good.

LostMy65 · 01-30-2016, 09:27 PM

Got most everything hooked back up.
Get my seats back in the cab, bleed the brakes and then
hopefully by Tuesday or Wednesday, I'll take it for a short test drive on the back roads.

LostMy65 · 02-02-2016, 06:13 PM

So close.
Gotta stop and eat a sandwich, then I figured I'd better hook up the emergency brake cables first. That's all I need to do to take it for a quick spin.
On a side note ; I hooked up a vacuum gauge. I'm glad to see I'm actually getting 15 at idle. Last time I checked, I seem to remember only about 10 or 11.

66-PMD-GMC · 02-02-2016, 07:26 PM

Sooooo....
Are you out driving around?

I guess since he don't have to shift now he'll never return from the drive.
