It's a '73 Jag XJ6. I bought it years ago. I also purchased the mounting kit for the '55-'59 series trucks from a company call Concours West. They had everything needed. I can't find them anymore. I think they went out of business.

This is the look I'm after:

mknittle · 04-10-2012, 11:27 AM

Lots of good work going on here!

OrrieG · 04-11-2012, 08:43 PM

Nothing but we are cleared for a push now that the greenhouse is dried in and usable. Going to finish the steering wheel change, then start final body work on bumpers, door interior, grille and misc interior items for paint (matching the cab interior color). Then fuel door and fill pipe. Gas it and start the engine.

oldcouple · 04-14-2012, 07:28 PM

Detail painted the inner door frame, and inside step, used the spray bedlinner stuff on the steps looks nice, now if I can just keep it clean. Wrinkle painted the upper part of the dash, lots of masking. Lower dash and ceiling and rear of cab to go.

yossarian19 · 04-16-2012, 10:27 AM

Actually it was Saturday but I got the truck out from under the cab-over camper, all the loose underhood parts secured in place with bailing wire, piled all the loose nuts, bolts, driveshafts etc into the cab, loaded the cylinder head (HEAVY!) into the bed & got it ready to tow back to Berkeley.
The truck lives in Grass Valley at the moment, but I'm finally just one trip with a trailer away from bringing it back to the shop in Berkeley. ~3 hours drive each way.
Oh, and I continued obsessing over which brake kits, which engine, which carpet & which gas tank I'm going to want.

focusedontheprize · 04-16-2012, 11:23 AM

Ordered my hardware for the suspension, battery box, and polyliner for my leaf springs. This weekend is going to be a wash, but the following weekend I will pick up the rear end out of the yard and hopefully have the front end suspension put back together.

51 okie · 04-20-2012, 07:02 PM

Recently added the chrome wheel center caps. Today I threw an old bed in the back and took it to Salvation Army. Fun to drive that beast.

rollenhard · 04-20-2012, 08:48 PM

Hey 51 okie cool looking truck

LDO · 04-20-2012, 09:24 PM

Russell Ashley · 04-21-2012, 07:19 AM

Removed my rear fenders in preparation to working on my bed. I didn't like clutch head bolts before, now I really really don't like them, LOL.

Bob, looks great. Nice improvement IMO.

**youngrodder** · 04-21-2012, 08:48 AM

I started installing my carpet and worked on my speaker pods that go into the kick panels. I also finished wiring up my interior lights through the door jam switches.

Speedbumpauto · 04-21-2012, 10:02 AM
