Re: 1968
Today, I repainted the glove box door. It was a different shade of orange.
I repainted the ash tray orange. re-installed the glove box door. installed the door jams switches left and right. Cut the hole in the carpet for the dimmer switch and installed the grommet. painted and mounted the wire cover on the steering column

Re: 1968
Just remember, when you see that wheelbarrow in the mirror, it will be closer than it appears...
What are the door switches for, courtesy lights? I thought it looked good orange, but you're right, that black does look better, I think.

Re: 1968
You are a man on a mission!
Did you buy the chrome mirrors new or have them replated?

Re: 1968
Today, I only replaced the glove box arm. My old one did not have a good rubber stop and the new did. so I wired wheel the new one and painted it black and mounted it on the truck. I did get my new order ready for ordering. I have to wait until 1st week of the month.
A friend of a friend is coming over to install the wind shield this week. Then I will have all my glass back on the truck.

Re: 1968
I didn't do anything on the truck today. Yard work and I went and purchased a 1996 Sub for parts. New tires and a flat belt system. A ton of extra parts went with it. 350 engine a transmission don't know what kind yet. Anyway it will give me a lot of cool stuff for my 68. It is only a parts truck no paper work.

Re: 1968
I pulled the old truck out from under the cover for the first time. I said pulled still haven't cracked the engine. Me and the boys gave it a good bath. dust was all over the truck. Now it shines again.

Re: 1968
Guys let me tell you about Dahos he is a member and I asked him for a glove box latch and a HEI distributor lead wire. Well he sent it to me and didn't even charge me, it was a good item. So if you have any thoughts of dealing with him. Let me put you mind at ease, he is a stand up guy.
I painted the latch and installed it on the glove box and it works great. I also mounted the round rubber on the column to the dash. and the bottom bracket for the rubber. I also painted the metal part of the sun visors, in place. Now everything looks great.

Re: 1968
kowboy63, and matt everything is as good as it can get. 65 and still working on these trucks. A minor setback with my back. Got to take it a little easier. But look on the bright side all the hard work is done. If a person thinks he or she has it bad, then take a trip to a VA hospital. There is bad in all colors.
