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.

LostMy65 · 02-02-2016, 09:09 PM

Oh Yes! Man does it shift nice!
Perfect stall on the Torque Converter.
Totally Stoked!
I have a video I'll try to upload later.

66-PMD-GMC · 02-02-2016, 10:02 PM

**Palf70Step** · 02-02-2016, 10:23 PM

What stall are you running?

I don't know. I got a great deal for the Th350 with the converter off CL.
It's a Summit with a B&M Shift Kit.

LostMy65 · 02-03-2016, 12:02 AM

I have the floor hump out, so there's lots of clanging and clunking.

Tie all that stuff down, install the tunnel cover and hood and get out there and do a big smokey burnout for us..

LostMy65 · 02-03-2016, 09:01 PM

Picture from yesterday.

**Palf70Step** · 02-03-2016, 09:09 PM

LostMy65 · 02-03-2016, 09:09 PM

Got the low Hump bolted in.
Then put floor pad down, then the rubber floormat.

.
.
I'll see if I can get the hood on tomorrow.

**Palf70Step** · 02-03-2016, 09:57 PM

Looking good man!

LostMy65 · 02-03-2016, 10:17 PM

Thank you.
I'm just busting to get it all back together.
I'll have a lot of misc details that I'll need to go back and button down,
but that's okay, I'll take care of those things when the weather gets nice.

66-PMD-GMC · 02-04-2016, 12:46 AM

You're doing a great job.. stick with it..
Show us some tire smoke..

LostMy65 · 02-06-2016, 11:59 PM

Drove it around some.
(Sorry to disappoint you, Chris, but I won't be doing any purposeful burnouts anytime soon.)

.
So, driving it around today I notice a vibration that fades in and out. It's not a consistent
vibration at a given speed. It's the worst at about 38 mph. But it's not a consistent vibration at 38 mph, but rather; it resonates in and out while driving at 38 mph.
.
I'm currently reading up on the issue.
