I bought them off the parts board.
There was a guy there that changed his mind of putting a 350 in his truck, so I scored.
here is what I got from him.

1 HEI distributor ith coil and cap new 50.00
1 air cleaner 3'' air filter new 35.00
2 350 V8 emblems new 35.00
and a couple of other things I can't remember. they are put up untill I need them.

I got my classic parts book down and ordered all the stuff I need to rebuild my vent windows and a lot of things that I will need for my doors also. Might as well put them in this order.

I wish I was. The 24th is in a day or two. If he does not change the date for the fine tuning on the body work. I will let you know either way.

Today, my steering shaft came in. It was a little greasy but what the hay. It was not too bad that a little cleaning and sand blasting could not take care of.
I sand blasted and painted the steering shaft and what a difference. With a new grade 8 bolt also. What do you guys think?




all I need now is a rag joint and the steering will be done.

It came out realy nice George.
Classic Industries sells the OER steering coupler at a very reasonable price $31.99 part# 7828871 although I would check ebay because often times they have a competitive price with less expensive shipping.

Shaft looks great.
Can't wait to see it rolling down the road.

[Mustard72]

Does look nice. Must've run out of orange?

Looking forward to some more reassembly pics in the near future. We're camping this weekend, so no progress on Mustard again, so you'll have to make up for my total lack of progress...

well, the 24th is a bust. He can't come up untill his wife get back off Vacation. Which will be Sat. So we set it back another week. No big deal. Gives me time to do a few things instead of doing body work.

[gdavis]

Today, I found a couple of rag joints for the steering. and a almost new set of delux marker lights front and rear.

[cubber]

Beautiful, George! Also. could you PM me your address??

[gdavis]

The last three days we have had nothing but rain. We got almost 10 inches. I am glad that we slid the date back from the 24th to the 31st. My white tarp is also leaking so I will have to pull it off and install a piece of clear platic 4 mill and restall the white tarp over the clear platis. Get it ready for the 31st. Always something isn't it?

George, you should get a box from Tennessee soon. The man at the post office said Monday. It needs a little work, but I hope you can use it....Try to stay dry!

Today Is Sunday so I took it easy and went to my grand daughter birthday. She is three. Had to go I would not have missed it.

[gdavis]

Today I could not work on the truck. A friend fell in his bathroom and now he is in a wheel chair for the rest of his life. So I went and built him two ramps to get inside his home and in the garage. When life gives you a bad turn, don't get mad at the world. Be thankful that you still have friends. They don't grow on trees and they take a long time to ripe. But tomorrow will be another day.

[cubber]

Good advice.

[gdavis]

Today I ordered some parts from a fellow board member. Power steering pump with hoses and brackets. Also ordered a almost new rag joint for 18.00 including shipping from a fellow board member. What a deal. Tomorrow I am going to auto zone and pick up a filler gage to adj. the valves. I have put it off long enough. I want to install the HEI distributor and wires also. If I can buy a set of shorty spark plugs and take the reg spark plugs out. This way I can have more clearence with the headers and install some heat sleaves. Some red ones that matches the red wires on the distributor. Now I need to save up for a new carb. I seen on ebay (thanks Brian). Then I will be ready for the battery and starter. Then look out I can start and put some life back in the old girl.

I put NGK plugs with my headers. Part # UR5. They fit good.
