On the dead batt. lock thing. could'nt you just get a jump. If your batt. is dead your going to have to anyway.

That would be too easy.

Adds a little bling to it. except for the blood from the wires pokeing my fingers.

I just swapped the steering gear on my '80 this weekend.
on it, the low pressure fitting was smaller than the high pressure side.

Thanks for the info on the locations.

Great looking hoses and extreme close-up shots of the door handle work (which I desperately need to do too). One note on the pictures though - Los Alamos called and they want their scanning electron microscope back.

Your welcome

Mac,
I think it might have brought back some bad (or good) military memories for Alan when he was a little crazy..

The Philipines corrupted me.

Hummm, If your weekly budget can handle it, it is possible.

At least your could be done that fast.

Alan's Classic · 06-29-2009, 10:56 PM

Ya'll ask for them now here they are.

Wrapped with tape a little tighter than last night and also used a zip tie to keep everything together.

Use a little oil to assymble.

One complete hose

Went ahead and put one end on the return line. The one I did last night I used on the pressure side.

I still need the 5/8" adapter for return port.

daverod · 06-29-2009, 11:17 PM

Ah,

ya that was good.

ruffrida2005 · 06-29-2009, 11:19 PM

looks good Alan, I'll have to keep that in mind when I hook mine up. But I'm running a m--t--g rack! I didn't want to spell a bad word!

Strodder · 06-30-2009, 10:23 AM

Try Duck Tap next time. I had the same problem. I tried masking tape, and electrical tape. The Duck Tape is stronger, and holds it together better. Any other ideas out there?

BTW looks good Allan.

Alan,
We used duct tape also, but we also added 2 hose clamps and left a small gap between them and then used our cutting wheel. Another option is a cable cutter simular to the one below. But by the look of things you got it.. looking good

1964C10 · 06-30-2009, 10:58 AM

Nice hoses Alan, awesome work!! would you be able to share the size and/or part numbers so we could make the same hoses? I have seen them in catalogs but I think they want upwards of $150.

How about using that aluminum tape that they use for a/c ducts? It's strong and also nice and stiff. Just a thought.

Thanks for the tips Dennis. I like the hose clamp trick that David mentioned below.

David, I like the hose clamp idea. If you use the cable cutter it pinches the line. It would probably work good on a rubber inner. I'm useing teflon inner on the power steering lines.

Once I get all of the parts together I will post the PN's. I've got all but one adapter. Keep in mind, I'm going from a metric pump to a standard steering gear. Aluminum tape would hold good, but knowing me I'd slice my fingers to pieces handling it.

Braided is the only way to go. Lookin awesome.

Thanks for the kind words.

Rebuilt a vent window tonight. Over all it is fairly easy. I had some issues of what goes on first. When I rebuild my other side I will get the order of the way it goes and post a thread on it. I took pics tonight, but I did things out of order so it would only confuse you and make life hard on those that follow what I did tonight. Here it is somewhat completed. The second pic shows where the vent window latch is supposed to be. I thought the pivot pin was available, but tonight I couldn't find anyone that sells a repair kit. I'll do some calling around.

Also in the second pic I don't like the big gap between the inside part of the door and the vent window. Also I will have to drill some holes in the door where the bottom of the window track goes. I put the vent window in just to see what other issues I have. It will have to come back out in time. At least it's somewhat safe in the door.

1964C10 · 07-02-2009, 12:24 AM

Wow is that a silver metallic flake that you are using on the upper portion of the cab? That looks really good with the orange. Have you posted a picture of the truck from a distance and I missed it

Would you recommend rebuilding the vent window or going with the delete kit and making it a single window? or is that really just a personal choice?

ruffrida2005 · 07-02-2009, 01:00 AM

I'm going to recomend that you go with a vent window rebuild. No one sells a single window for our trucks, because of the fact that it's not secure when the window isn't all the way up. Everyone that has had it done, had the glass cut and peiced a kit together! That's my understanding from autoloc. Truckin did a spread on it and also stated the same fact.

Looks good Alan cant wait for your window thread!

1964C10 · 07-02-2009, 09:09 AM

Thanks ruffrida! Good enough to convince me

NO limit makes a one piece window kit for the 64-66.

that link didn't work. I would love to have a one peice window kit. but have been told that it's not secure when the window isn't all the way up

jgh64pkup · 07-02-2009, 01:20 PM

i like the vent windows especially with no a/c

Thanks, Alan. That's one I've got to face soon - as the guy that ripped my rig off roached both sides in doing so. Great pictures. (This is how it's done, Joe).

Mac.

hAetWagon · 07-02-2009, 02:36 PM

I'm going to go with a single window conversion myself. I'll be utilizing a power regulator of some sort scavenged from somethin or other...
