Re: Donz '72 LWB Shop Truck...
Thanx Rusty...
 Today I drove the '72 out to my friend's new hot rod shop location and in exchange for a little assistance hanging some ceiling joists, I snagged some S10 Wiper parts for another friend who happens to work with me… On to the pics…  IMG_4744 by Donald Olivo, on FlickrThe guy on the scaffold is Tim, it's his shop and he's the one I got the '72 from…The guy in the red shirt is Klown, he's another artist that works in the studio with me and my son…  IMG_4743 by Donald Olivo, on FlickrNew shop pics…  IMG_4745 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr IMG_4746 by Donald Olivo, on FlickrMe on a ladder working a framing gun…  IMG_4754 by Donald Olivo, on FlickrAfter hanging the ceiling joists, we went over to the existing shop to get a wiper motor and steering column for Klown...  Hanging outside is Clint's '64, He's known as ArkyHauler out here, and has Tim doing some work on the '64… Clint broke his arm, but hopefully with Tim's help, the '64 will make the trek to Clem's in October...   IMG_4758 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr…and lastly, after getting Klown's wipers working, I got a call that a box had arrived at the studio… Rian and Martin should be quite chuffed as their Firewall Pads have arrived…   IMG_4759 by Donald Olivo, on FlickrMore sanding throughout the week, thankfully drier air is filtering in and with highs in the upper 80's and low 90's it should be a bit more comfortable outside...

Re: Donz '72 LWB Shop Truck...
Off to the Pick-N-Pull in the morning to score the pulleys and brackets I need to relocate the Alternator to the Pass side…

Re: Donz '72 LWB Shop Truck...
Good luck finding the right pulley Don at pick n pull. If you want this alternator it's your's, it only has 1000 miles or so on it. I swapped it out for a one wire 12SI when I swapped wiring harnesses. Brackets included for shipping cost only. $15.00 bucks if you want it.

Re: Donz '72 LWB Shop Truck...

Re: Donz '72 LWB Shop Truck...
Upon arriving home from the junkyard, I saw the post from sduckwoth13 and immediately shot him a PM… later in the day as I was chasing a bolt and belts, Scott called and we had a nice chat… Thanx again Scott!!!
The trip to the Pick-N-Pull netted me the Water pump and pulley, Alternator brackets, and Balancer pulley… I replaced the short water pump with the long one, installed the P/S, and re-worked the fuel line from the pump to the carb, as it was, it interfered with the alternator in it's new home on the pass side of the engine… I then made a run to the parts store for belts… Unfortunately, the alternator belt ended up being too long, and the one I exchanged it for tonight ended up being too short...  I will get the right one tomorrow… Here's the P/S pump installed and adjusted with the new belt…  IMG_4933 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr IMG_4935 by Donald Olivo, on FlickrHere's the alternator waiting on a proper size belt and the wiring harness to be elongated…You can't tell from these pics, but all the pulleys lined up beautifully...  IMG_4934 by Donald Olivo, on FlickrHere's the wiring harness, it was long enough for the D/S location, but for the Pass side… not so much...  IMG_4936 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr…so tomorrow, I plan on getting the right alt belt, elongating the wiring, and mounting the Power Steering Box... then it will be time to re-install the fan shroud and radiator and test drive...
