1968

[gdavis]

Hey, there here is a set of vent windows that I picked up on the parts board.
They are really nice. The picture does not do them justice Just have to change the rubber seal aounnd the glass. I need to get a pair of 67/68 window locks knobs kits they are really loose.

I picked these up for 100.00 ship

[gdavis]

I also picked up the grill for a 67/68 this week.85.00 ship
A set of headers that fit the 350 60.00 ship
A short nose water pump pulley 22.00 ship
A cigeratte lighter 10.00 ship
A emblems for the finder 10.00 ship
A set of back up lights 10.00 ship
A set of brackets for a 67/68 tail light 10.00 ship
A set of tail lights for a 67/68 step side bed 19.00 ship


most of these parts I want need for a while but, the price was right.
I am knocking my list down a bit this month. I am about to run out of money. But,I keep seeing the deal on the parts board.

Those are some nice looking vent windows.

It looks like you got some good deals on parts, and you will need those parts sooner than you think considering you are close to finishing the build.

[Bomp]

Movin' right along.

Your going to have ruts in the road from the delivery guy delivering all those parts.

Soon,,,,,,,driving very soon.

Thanks guys I am doing my best trying to keep up with you guys. if building this truck is a 100 mile race I figured I have ran 40 miles. A long way to go.
Now is the hard part getting those parts to my door.

Today I was trying to install my head light buckets. I misplaced the adjusting screws somewhere. I looked high and low for them. I tried to save all the special bolts and screws. But only found one and the platic nut was broken. So I came to a conclusion that I must have put them in file 13. So I guess I will have to order some. Does anyone have a 4 screws and nuts out there. Thought I would asked.

[Mustard72]

Sorry, George. Nothing here. I'll probably run into the same thing as you by the time I get around to putting the headlights in.

I was looking just for the glass frame and I was going to rebuild mine. But now all I have to do is replace the rubbers and done. Sometimes it pays to check to parts board

[gdavis]

Nothing here to post. I am working at a friends house painting their master bathroom. They are well in their years and can't do it themselves. I thought I would re-attach the transmission lines to the radiator, but went outside and it was at least 90 under the canophy. So I went back inside and did nothing. What a day.
Tomorrow morning I am going to sand blast the rear brake light houseings that I purchased the other day. Already done the brackets.

I wish that was so. About me driving soon. But I will be working on the old girl for the rest of this year. It is just too hot under the canophy to do anything right now.

I just thought I would ask to see if anyone had some of these screws laying around. But it looks like I will have to order them. I can find the screws but the platic nuts are the problem. Most of them are dry and brittle.

Today I had to cut the weed in my yard. Don't have a lawn just weeds. Sat. is my adophed sons birthday so we are having a small get together for the boys. So Had to clean up the place. Don't want anyone to get hurt on my stuff. I think it is ,but the little woman was concerned. Too many things that I had to move and put away.

But I did paint the under side of the truck. I needed to paint the bolts and nuts when I re-installed the trailoring arms and tracking arm. Now they are clean And painted.

[gdavis]

Picked up a set of transmission linkage for my th350. Painted them up and now waiting to buy a colum to put them on. Got my new cigerette lighter for the truck and some emblems. and a set of back up ligts. Don't know If I will use them or buy a new set. I will have to wait and see if they clean up.

[gdavis]

The back up lights cleaned up super nice. No rust or pits or anything. Not bad for 10.00. I installed the transmission cooling lines today also. The water pump pulley came in and painted it black and installed it on the motor. Along with the shroud and the 6 blade fan. Everything is looking great as far as the shroud and pulley goes. Now I need to find a adjusted for the alt. The power steering pump will be next on my list.

I sand blasted the back up lights and the rear turn signals and some vent window parts. Painted them gloss black. The rear turn signals came out real clean. I an going to use a set of back up lights from a fleet side truck. I like the way they can fit flat against the side of the bed with a flat bracket. After I install them, I will see if I keep them. I ordered them from the parts board the other day.

pictures of the back up lights I am planning on using. and the rear turn signals also.

Here is my 35.00 orginal equipment wind shield motor that I had rebuilt.

[Number98]

She is really starting to come together George! Looking good!

[gdavis]

It's so nice I'm scared to put it on

Today i sand blasted my front turn signals. They came out sweet. I found a 72 gas pedal, bracket, cable all for my truck. I didn't like the 68 style. This way no holes will have to be cut in my new carpet when it comes. I also found a set of headers off the parts board. Another good find. Sand blasted them and painted them with 2000 degrees ceramtic paint. i really like the way they turned out. All this for 100.00 not bad.

My brackets for the brake booster came in today. I am glad I wasn't under the truck waiting for those. It took them three weeks to make them. I could have done it in about 2 hours. But I guess I am not there only customer.
