Not forgotten, we have been cleaning up the sport mirrors, ordering door felts, vent wing rubber, and rebuilt kit. I talked to my buddy and they are massaging the cowl so the gaps are pretty... It will slow down a bit as we need to save up for the ron francis wiring kit, tach dash, etc, etc.
you have made much progress... keep at it....

NWD02 · 01-05-2010, 04:29 PM

Since you're doing so good on the progress, how about I trailer mine to you and let you finish it? Sounds good to me... haha

What is the biggest difference in the Ron Francis kit and the Amercian Autowire kit?

from the research i have done. AAC does not have a direct replacement for the 67-68 currently as the ebrake location is in the way. they do offer for 69-72 though. I have a Ron Francis in my '56 and would just like to stay the same with my son's as i have never had issue and the support when i installed the harness was phenomenal, and i hear it still is.

I don't know if this is a rumor, but i have heard that a ex Ron Francis engineer started AAC, but i never researched it. both kits looks awesome, i just want to be able to tell the vendor what i have, and it shows up ready to plug and play , no cutting and reconnecting the connectors etc.

bring the keys Nick! Think i will need to test drive it a bit to make sure it's safe before i give it back... I could even drive it back to you!

0331grunt · 01-05-2010, 06:32 PM

Thanks for the info..

NWD02 · 01-05-2010, 07:43 PM

I used the Ron Francis Kit on mine. It looks clean and the cusotmer service is great. I went with them because it was explained to me they build the kit for each vehicle. They keep record of the serial number of the kit incase you have problems.

**67cheby** · 01-05-2010, 07:49 PM

i know nothing about these kits, can you get one that is factory style just ready to plug ?? what are the price ranges

hotrod 80 · 01-10-2010, 12:05 AM

We need current pics . Man it is coming along nice .

You can get direct replacement but I'm far from stock, thus
the need for a custom harness. Check americanautowire.com, you could also pm mike (mbgmike) a board vendor.

I was frustrated, so didnt think of taking pics. drill out 7 rivits (cussing at each one), install rubber around vent window with rivits ( cussing each time trying to mushroom the rivits) they look good, i'll shoot some pics tonight. I tried a hair dryer etc to try and get it flexible enough, man was it a b-word trying to get it set in the grooves.....

gcburdic · 01-11-2010, 01:37 PM

Heath...too funny...those darn vent windows....

....There's a write up in the FAQ thread too....http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=153937

When cussing, should I use the correct explitives to get a good result???

That Always helps!!!

i need to get some silicone spray and move the gasket a lil in some areas .

mcbassin · 01-12-2010, 10:56 PM

The vent windows look great...so how much time do we need set aside to rebuild one these? I can see how it would be a major pain to get the rubber to seat in the track.

So wheres the pics of the new K10 I saw you mention?
