Re: 1968

Today i finshed the rear brake rubber brake hose. But, I think it is still a little to short. Brian you said that there was a tab the fits in the bolts for the diff. cover. I think that would be a wise choice to get one. or make one myself. I don't like the way it looks. I
also installed the front turn signal housings.

Re: 1968

After the rain, I drilled a 5/16 hole in the rear brake hose brackets on the rear end. Now it looks like a pro did it. I really like the way it came out. Thanks brian.
My head light adjusting screws came in so I installed them.

No I wish I were. But my Brother-In-Law had a emergency and had to fly to New York. So it has been set back untill the 24th of Aug. Family come first. I told him to take care of his daughter first. This old truck is not in a hurry. I purchased a steering column for the truck today. A used stock column no tilt. This way I can use a 68 steering wheel. Which I really like.

In the meantime George you can concentrate on getting it running and driving so that by the time you get it painted you can go cruising.

Re: 1968

I am not so sure about the power steering pump. The pully is bent and the bolt, the treads are really bunged up. I don't know If I could cut the bolts off and weld another in it's place or not.
ordered the steering column today. I hope it turns out ok.

Who ever sold you that power steering pump is really dishonest, unfortunately it happens, sorry to hear that George, I hope you didn't pay very much for it, you can probably use it as a core for a remanufactured one.

Re: 1968

Yea, it really isn't that much of a loss. This is the first part that I bought a part off the parts board that didn't work for me. I am not really upset over it. Like you said I can still use it as a core charge. So I might even come out ahead anyway. I ordered 120 pcs. set of shrink tubing. Couldn't find or misplaced my soldering gun. I ordered another one from harbor frieght. I am going to order my wiring harness from speedway. They have a special going on and I will take advantage of it. So guys I will start on my wiring maybe in a couple weeks. This is something that I have been trying to get out of. I know I can do it, but just thinking about it it hurts my back. Had a good day today. I did not do nothing again.


Hey setx67 it really is not that big of a deal.(steering pump) I will use it as a core charge

New pumps are pretty cheap. I decided to just get a new one. You will figure it out, though. I got faith in you.

Re: 1968

Again nothing to do. The auto column is on it's way to me. I got a email saying it will be here this week. I need to start doing something. But, it is so hot outside that when I try, I run for cover. I an hoping to start with the wiring maybe next week. By the Brian thanks for you help with the power steering pump and extra's. They will come in handy I am sure.

Re: 1968

It will maybe cool off soon. My parents left today to stay 3 months in Florida, down near Sarasota. I may try to see them there in late October. Maybe I can stop by and see old Patches, and bring you some parts if you have any coming from up this way.

Thanks a lot. I hope to have a lot of progress this month. Body work, shoot some color or more color, wiring, and the rest of the brake lines. Need two brake lines for the rear end and one for the rail.
