Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got all the parking brake hardware reinstalled and adjusted. Started installing my brake lines. Got the ones that run along the differential, rear flex line, and the long one from the flex line to the front installed. Now gotta tackle getting everything ran along the front crossmember and up to the master cylinder.
Wife is going out of town with her sister this Friday and Saturday so I predict some serious shop time in my future.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Raining and cold . But my new cab bushings came for the stepside so now I can start fitment of the nose. Went with regular rubber.

Only for shows mostly because everyone keeps telling me they are dangerous even though they all came with them back in the day. I know they are dangerous to mount, but I think once they are on they are ok. But also to keep them in good shape and since I have a nice set of wheels with brand new tires on them and I like to drive the truck whenever I can, I will use those for regular duty. It's a lot easier to get them mounted than the originals. I am getting old so the originals with the new tires should outlast me. The only real issue I had is that I ordered the tubes from a local shop that assured me that the valve stems are bendable and should fit fine when in fact they are too short. I had to put extensions in them with a piece of fuel line to protect them from the side of the rim. Minor issue really.

I took my truck for ride and stopped for coffee as it will be going into storage next week for the Winter Months.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Put the new cab mounts in haven't torqued them yet but the cab as of now is 1/4 inch higher off the frame. May come down a bit when I put the torque wrench on it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Started installing a Counterpart tach kit. It definitely doesn't fit like OEM, but it's good enough for my truck. I'll be working on the wiring tonight. Sprayed my old faded gauge needles with fluorescent red-orange Rustoleum inverted marking paint. It is flat when it dries, and it matches the original color quite well.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
That looks like it is made to spray down for locating lines

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got my tach wired up. Ran the brown wire through an empty slot in the firewall bulkhead connector and wrapped it inside the engine harness.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
1> Start a preliminary layout of the cab wiring harness. Try to sort out which wiring I will use and which I won't. Might try and repurpose some of the extra ones. Also, I added wiring for control of the passenger pw and pl.
2> Get my nerve up to put the cab on the chassis. (I've been stalling saying I needed to have the exhaust in first. Then it was to have the wiring harness laid out. Both are not complete)

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
New Hella h4 E codes
Replaced the ancient Cibie lights. Sand blast rust and fell completely apart when I took them apart. And scotch brite and comet washed the roof. I think the off white is officially dead.

Dig the headlights, I have Hella sealed unit headlights!
Shocks, I have a dedicated thread, will tell the story there. ![]() ![]() Discovered a problem...... Also got the heater fan and back-up lights working. I'm too stupid to figure out electrical, had a trusted mechanic do it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Finished installing my hidden Kenwood amplifier bluetooth system. After installation, I sensed that it needed a little more bass, so I installed a powered subwoofer that fit neatly right under my bench seat.
Very happy with the results. |

Was considering some LED bulbs. But the new not rusty lenses are a huge improvement. And the e code light pattern is neat too

That's kind of remarkable. Classic for sure.
