Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Started removing the purple window tint. Razor blade scraped the tint film off. Lacquer thinner and a towel took care of the glue residue. I was pleased to discover the windows have factory tint and all the glass looks to be OEM.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Installed the 327 in the truck this evening. Everything on the bottom installed and hooked up. Hoping to bring it to life tomorrow evening.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Bent and installed brake lines from the new master. First time doing it, but I think it turned out pretty good.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Engine started right up! So glad I decided to upgrade to power steering. No leaks. Engine runs smooth.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Started varnishing my bed wood. After a year of working on the truck I am getting close to hitting the road again. I wish I had started a build thread.

I love all the period correct accoutrements! That is what I am always on the look out to use with my truck.

Yeah, it's a project. The truck as is runs, stops (slowly), most things seem to work, frame is solid, engine has been replaced at some point, most body work is solid. It apparently had some sort of professional undercoat applied earlier in it's life. It is flaking off now, but the metal underneath looks 45 years younger. Has a little rust in the usual places, some unique electrical wiring, oozes fluids here and there, but overall a decent start. Initial plan is to get it safe and drive it, and plan the next steps. |

The upper side molding on my truck does have the black strip, although with 50 years of age on it. I wonder: since Mar-K makes these moldings new with the black strip, would they be willing to make a set without the strip? |
