Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Little secret I found out about the shifters is that if you want plain black knobs, round, oval or mushroom type, look on Ebay in the tractor section. I paid $7 plus $1.50 shipping for those two knobs. Hot rod and car resto places wanted a lot more. I got two different sizes so I can tell them apart without looking. I believe mine were the shifter and transfer case knobs for a older Massey Fergensen tractor, it has different sizes for the same reason.

That makes sence. I bet they are better than the repop ones. I bought a pair of the small repop knobs for my jeep. The sun did them in in no time.I used to have a pair of alumnum dice that I made with the year numbers up{42} but they evaporated. Now I have a pair of Reno plastic ones. |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Did some clean up and tuning on my floor panels. I punched and drilled the passenger side to plug weld to the frame work i built.then it got too hot to touch the metal so that was the end of that.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I installed 72 batts of r19 and 3 rolls of r13 in my garage. Then followed up with 20 sheets of sheet rock yesterday. I still need to install 20 more sheets and do the taping. Then perhaps I can brave the Idaho winter working on my truck.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I'm starting on the vintage air install. Just found out I need a double groove waterpump pulley. I did manage to install a new 2bbl carburetor yesterday along with a few other odds n ends. Too bad I go back to work tomorrow.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Finally got my doors back on. When I replaced the bottoms of my doors last year I failed to drill the holes for the door seal. I also just ground the welds but never filled and smoothed them so I decided all of that would be easier to do with the doors laying horizontal. I had the interior and exterior paint matched so I could touch up where it needed it, and I painted all of the interior of the doors and up to the crease line on the outer doors and front fenders where I had put patch panels. It's not a perfect match but I'm not ready to get into an all-over paint job so it will stay like it is for now.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I bought a speedometer face. Significant in that this was the first part purchase for the new project.

Russell: Looks like you got a good tight fit on your door seal. Nice and straight too.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Replaced the leaking float on the fuel sender, cut a new sending unit gasket out of 1/18" thick neoprene, fabricated and installed a baffle in the tank. Removed the 7747 ecm and engine wiring harness. Located the 7427 ecm I had stashed and a matching engine wiring harness form 94 Jimmy. Removed unneeded wiring from harness.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Thanks, ChuckDriver and Chevette. Those plastic pins in the weather stripping seem to hold it in place really well. On the bottom corners and a couple of other places I used a hot glue gun and glued it down. I've always used that stringy weather strip adhesive before but I think the hot glue works better and is not as messy.
Some trash blew up and got in the dark blue paint on the door panel so I'll have to re-do that, but I am going to replace the latch in the drivers door so I will wait and re-paint while I have it off replacing the latch. |
