Well there was no other recourse lol kept loosing track of where I was putting some of my smaller project pieces and parts lol so went in and cleaned all of the drawers out sorted the trays and labeled the danged drawers. Finally can keep track what tray is where now lol.

Also got around to getting the bed off the 60's frame out back and placed it on a dolly. Disassembly is going well just have to finish cutting the rear bed welds to get the bedsides completely loose then it will be ready for sand/water blasting and ready to primer and paint. Some minor body work will be needed on the passenger side thanks to homeless people throwing stuff in the bed and banging up the sides :/

Well also got the e brake buttons in got lucky and found an autoloc kit on amazon and ordered not badly priced either complete with aluminum bezel 2 switches and 2 plug harnesses. Also linear actuator is in and sitting in a drawer ready to go. I need to look at how to mount it to the trans cross member but that''s just a lil issue to deal with in over all scheme of things

Sean

[sdwolff98]

getting it closer to fully aligned. passenger side is dialed in and marked for drilling passenger side just needs a tad bit of out fender pressure to line right up. gonna be nice when finished

Well been busy working on little projects and gathering more stuff lol. I found that hot wheels at some point released 60-66 key chains lol so I got me one recently and put my truck keys on it lol. Also got the alternator in and mounted to the truck waiting on the AC compressor as well at the moment. Plus got the american billet hood hinges in and currently in the process of getting them mounted and checked out.

Sean

[sdwolff98]

here is the alternator lol. Also picked up a tool for my buddy who is looking at building me a in bed gas tank cover made of matching oak with chromed bed strips to match the bed. It cuts the channel on the edges of the bed boards like the factory did. Also picked up a new larger compressor I am currently getting wired into the shop and ready to go for some projects that need more CFM then my lil shop compressor can handle. And lastly saw this bad ass engine cover a guy made with an old rotted out hood

Sean

[sdwolff98]

well now that I got a compressor up n running with bigger lungs lol started sanding and restaining the bed wood to get it ready for the clear coat eventually. Got 3-4 more boards to finish then get clear coat in to start coating em down.

Sean

[sdwolff98]

Also working on getting the engine ready to fire up and dealing with lots of little issues lol mounting the maf 4inch tube to big 3.5 inch tube to small grrr!!!!!! starter is mounted and ready to go, belt mounted up with accessories in place, new sensors all around. Just need radiator and hoses in place and a battery with a flip switch to start it up. that wake sure everything is gonna work properly lol. Still have to get the core support holes drilled and mounted again. Also hooking up the trans thermostat to the cooler as well.
Sean
The second picture is how the MAF issues has got me feeling today

[sdwolff98]

Well getting further along on the bed wood its all sanded down and restained and looks much better now will be starting on the marine clear coat varnish tomorrow afternoon. More posts to come on that. Also got the wiring in for the battery starting and charging circuits and quite pleased with how it is coming along.

Sean

[sdwolff98]

Here are pictures of the charging, starter, and fuse box power cables. found some neat tri way battery feeds through knu conceptz website.

Lookin' good Sean

Where did you find that mega fuse holder? I like that one better than the typical ones I have seen with the phony rubber cover.

[sdwolff98]

Hey Captain,
Here is a link to them: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/576-02981003ZXT
10 bucks for them at mouser not a bad price. The chevy police editions also had a 3 bank model of them as well.

Sean

[Captainfab]

Thanks Sean

[sdwolff98]

Well after futzing around and going back on forth between bench and truck got the lower heater and defroster valve in place on the truck. took a bit of contrapting to keep the hoses clear of all the belting stuff lol.

Sean

[sdwolff98]

Also over last few weeks been working on the power cable setups and how to manage the multiple power feeds running through the engine compartment. At this time its 90% done. Still debating on using the clamps you see in the pictures versus a setup I found that uses plastic insulation inserts still looking at both options right now.

Sean

[sdwolff98]

and lastly started getting the battery tray squared away lol have been building it over the past week and its coming out pretty nice. Still have some smoothing and shaping to do the the major weight support leg but quite happy with its turn out.

Sean

Aluminum core support is making some progress, battery tray 90% finished.. motoring right along. waiting on some parts to come in guy found that with minor mods a 93 electric window regulator from a chevy van will work in our trucks with a few minor mods will see what it requires and post it up on another thread
