Re: 1968

Today I went and found a drivers side vent window frame. So tomorrow I will tear it apart and sand blast the frame. Don't know when I will paint the frame yet. I hate to get all the paint ready for just that little bit of work. I will install the new red sway bar bushings tomorrow I know. Had to move the air compresser to the back of the shop and run a longer electric wire to the compresser. Also a longer wire for the welder also to the back of the shop. felling a lot better now since the tooth is gone.

Re: 1968

Today I was going to work on my truck. But I got a call and had to return to work for a week. So I guess my truck will have to wait. Got to build 4 counter tops and a bridge for a pond.

Re: 1968

My drive shaft carrier bearing came in today.


I am working on another project for a couple. Building 4 counter tops this week. So not to much will get done on the truck. At least I will be able to order a wiring harness. I finshed installing the 2 inch insulation boards in the ceiling and walls in the shop. It will be nice and cool for the rest of the summer and warn this winter.

Re: 1968

Today I had to wait for the materials for the counter tops to get here so I installed the red poly front sway bar bushings. It was good to work on the old girl. It seems like a long time since I have done anything to her.
here is the picture before I installed the bushings.
Here is the sway bar bushings installed in the truck. It shows a lot of dust and sand everywhere.

Re: 1968

This working everyday is for the birds or for the young. I will be glad when this project is over with. (counter tops that is) I enjoy working on my truck. I ordered a rebuilt dash cluster today. It takes three weeks to rebuild and ship it. I first have to ship my old dash cluster and he builds it with all new parts and gages and sets the speetometer to zero. I will post pictures when it comes in. Just another step into finshing this project.

I'm a long way from wiring my truck, but it will come in very handy when I'm ready. Get to feeling better.

Re: 1968

Today, I worked on the vent window frame. After I took it apart and cleaned it, I found the rust was a little worse than I thoght. So I cut the rusty part out and replaced it with good metal from another window frame. It turned out real nice. I also installed the mirrow suport bracket. The one that fits inside the door. But somehow I misplaced the other bracket for other door. So I will have to find a relacement.

Sounds like you're getting ready to be very busy for a while with all that stuff coming in. You may not have any time to spend more money any time soon!

picked up two more side jobs this week. Everyone want something done when the weather chanes or they are getting ready for the hoildays. Anyway I sent off for the cluster and the intake today. If I can't work on the truck at least I am able to buy some parts with the extra income from the jobs I am doing.
