Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Nice looking plug wire setup, What brand are they and where to buy them? Where did you get the wire loom kit from? That is what I want to do to my engine.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Ok, so if there was a breathalyser on my keyboard i might be in trouble with the feds but as there is not I can post with impunity!
So why the celebration? 2 reasons.. got my first 'big' deal locked in at my new job but, more importantly, my registration documents arrived today so Woody is now 100% legal! Better slow down now the Man knows who i am.... P.

Plug wires are straight boot pertronix wires from summit. wire looms are R&M also from summit. clip on wire markers from summit. The wire loom holder bracket that mounts to the rear of the head was made by me and the actual wire holder came from ebay super cheap. i'm pretty happy with how everything is coming together but it looks like my motor won't crank for some time as i'm working on the wife's 57 for the time being.

FINALLY got. My bed together and mounted! A long to short conversion alone with rust repair has probably taken me 30+ hours of work!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Typically, I could not leave well alone.
So late afternoon I went and dragged out the truck and used the last of my rust converter on the chassis. I left out the prop shaft and diff, will do them when I get back and get more Vactan.  This will be the last work I do till I get back from Texas, Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I cleaned up the truck today for the show tomorrow. (More like a classic car picnic) and finally installed my hub caps. really made the truck more elegant, I think. Should look real nice after I get the bed done.
