Looking very nice, George! It's looking really good now, with the parts all coming together. You're an inspiration to do a little bit each day, eventually it all gets done.

Thanks. I am waiting on weather to paint the cab. It has been raining a lot down here in Fl.

gdavis · 01-13-2014, 07:17 PM

Today I recieved some more parts. Two brake lines that run from the master cly to the port valve. I tried to use advance auto brake lines. But they did not bend like the oem. so now I will replace the ones I bent.
(2) door seals. How I need a seal for the rear glass. (large) If any of you guys have one that you didn't use plz contact me.

gdavis · 01-14-2014, 10:30 AM

gdavis · 01-16-2014, 11:28 AM

Thanks a lot there guys. I wll be installing a rebuilt steering column soon.

gdavis · 01-18-2014, 11:03 AM

it's going to get down to 28 in the morning to cold to work on the old gal. So Nothing to post today.
I did pull my steering column off the truck. I got it ready for shipment to a guy that said he could make it work right.
also ordered a rear window seal. Now I have all my glass seals, so when I get her painted I can install the glass. any tips on this?????????/

gdavis · 01-18-2014, 09:03 PM

Does anyone know a easy way to put the glass seals and glass in the truck??????

dfwright · 01-19-2014, 10:14 AM

George,
Windshields seem to be the one area lots of people have issues with, and there are lots of threads with good information. Here are a few that I've bookmarked for my own reference:

Windshield seal won't suck up

Window rubber

Installing Windshield

Windshield gasket blues: Precision supplies Steele and possibly Soff Seal

(another) Window Seals Question (Need Help)

For those brave windshield installers....

rear window install

windshield rubbers ?

installing windshield trim

That should keep you up reading for a while!

Today, I tried to find a hood for a 67/68 but no luck. ( Local crais list.) I hope to find one and repair it before I paint the color on the truck.

gdavis · 01-23-2014, 12:51 PM

Today it was 26 and I think I will move to Florida. This is northern weather.

Careful what you wish for, i have a friend that lives in Florida and works at NASA, not sure which one, and she posted a pic this morning of frost covered windshields and it being about 26 degrees.

Yea, I live accross the state from Cape Kennedy and it was 26 here in Florida. That is why I said I should move to Florida. Can't stand that kind of weather.

Too bad you are so far. I have a 67/8 hood that looks decent ( it is in primer though!)
