Re: Wife's 48
Ok, here is where it is. I have started doing little things like the 3rd brake light and the dome light while waiting on gaskets and stuff. So I thought I'd post some pics of what has been done.
Brake lines to the hydroboost, column shift and steering shaft all hooked up. IMG_0935 by Robert Moorman, on Flickr Routing of the power steering lines. IMG_0936 by Robert Moorman, on Flickr And the hook up to the power steering pump and gear box. IMG_0937 by Robert Moorman, on Flickr Then the part I'm actually looking forward to, after I get some more parts assembled. IMG_0938 by Robert Moorman, on Flickr Yeah, I know, I'm not right! I am going to try to modernize this a little. I have a push button start, and some other goodies to try and install. That brings me to a question, has anyone used the Dakota Digital auto door lock controller or the headlight controller? I am looking at those, but have not pulled the trigger yet.

Re: Wife's 48
Well, I got to spend a couple of hours yesterday afternoon on the truck. I spent the morning through about 2 helping a buddy go get some tools and haul them to his house. Then after that I got to spend a few hours putting on the rider's side front fenders and even started planning a few little things for the electrical.
IMG_0952 by Robert Moorman, on Flickr Then, this afternoon that same friend came over and helped me put the bed on. IMG_0951 by Robert Moorman, on Flickr While we didn't get much else done, I can work on a lot by myself.

Re: Wife's 48
Thanks Jim.
I keep complaining it's going too slow, but I know it takes time. So I'll just keep plugging away at it.

Re: Wife's 48
Thanks Jan.
I'm now waiting on a shipment from LMC with some gaskets that I need to assemble the front end. When I get those I should be able to make some progress.

Re: Wife's 48
I got 4 hours in on the truck yesterday afternoon. Here is the result.
IMG_0943 by Robert Moorman, on Flickr IMG_0942 by Robert Moorman, on Flickr That is the rider's door with it's guts assembled. I thought it would be fairly easy, HA. I posted a question on the electric door lock. I had the Altman assembled, then had to disassemble and reassemble, 2 times to get everything working, and I still don't have the lock function working right on the electric lock. Unlock works, but not the lock. When I hit the power it extends and bounces back, like it doesn't have enough travel room. These were supposed to be made for this application! Oh well, it will lock with the key, so it will work, if I can get the driver's door to work. I'll post that update when it gets done.

Looks really good. Nice to see a painted truck again. Patina is not my thing.

Re: Wife's 48
Those gaps are way nicer than original on trucks of this age, and that paint is gorgeous!

Re: Wife's 48
All, thank you very much for the nice comments.
I spent a lot of time working on the gaps before paint, and I think I got pretty lucky when they went back as well as they did after paint. Thanks for the nice comments on the paint. When I took the dust cover back to the painter to get it touched up, he just shook his head and said, "be more careful!"
