Re: 1968
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.

Re: 1968
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.

Re: 1968
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. |

Re: 1968
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.

Re: 1968
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.

Re: 1968
Didn't do anything on the old patches today. Had to work somewhere else (painting) Maybe tomorrow when I return from the Post Office shipping some parts to WI. Rick's sill and other parts.

Re: 1968
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.

Re: 1968
Here are the brackets I had a company to build me. Three weeks never again will I wait that long on something so simple.
Don't mind the dust it is working in progress. This is why I need a shop.

Re: 1968
I also got a brand new gas tank tonight. A guy called me and he has a new tank with new mounting hardware and new sending unit with the fill hole in top faceing up. I Told him to send it to me. I had to get off my pocket book a little for it. But this way I am sure of the fit and everything is new. Now I can really start on my build again
I saved so much lately that I didn't mind speending a little more now. As tight as I am. Only kidding. But if you can save a dollar here and a dollar there it all adds up in the long run. I really need to start rebuilding my vent windows soon.

Re: 1968
George you are going to want to paint the inside of those parking brake light housings white or light silver because if you don't it will darken the look of the lense.

Re: 1968
well, don't know if I am getting that gas tank or not. The guy keeps going back and forth with another guy. Not into a bidding war. I repainted my enging compartment to tighten it up a little. Now there is no over spray of orange I like the way it turned out. Don't look at the run I am planning of taking care of that when the paint cures.

Re: 1968
George the big bracket screws to the Rod Support that you seem to be missing, the Rod Support cradles the gas pedal lever and is the pivot point.
It is part #5 under accelerator controls on page 126. http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cb/full.aspx?Page=126 Last edited by Xeen; 05-31-2013 at 08:32 PM. |
