I got tailgate trim clips brand new now lol

Im going junkyarding in some new yards soon hopefully....

I attached my tailight trim with 3 clips but there is 4 holes I could've put a 4th but didnt seee the need.

I need driver side tailgate trim piece, and passenger side tailight bezel. (Straight, I can polish em up) I think ima try oven cleaner to get the adnoized off next time and see whats up, the 1st attempt was splotchy where the coating was still on there i assume?)

nate if your talking about resto dan then i agree he does a good job.

Saw the infamous 67 1 ton today i drove by it was parked i had grandpaw with me so it was too hot to stop. I freakin love that truck!!! Clean it up i know where a factory color radio delete is maybe clean the paint on the flatbed and drive it that thing is just awesome!!!! not too much patina but just enough AHHH

Going out to mess with my float level. Looking to buy nice adj. timing light also...

[67chevy1series]

haha cant beats a 67! there beast! lol just kidding.

[oldblue1968chevy]

Checked fuel pressure today (i have edelbrock 600/stock pump). Im getting 8-10 psi fuel pressure at 1000 rpms-750rpms WAY to much

Going to get a regulator and bring it down to about 5.5 (what edelbrock recommends)

THEN NO MORE NASTY BROWN STAINS ON MY INTAKE MANIFOLD HOPEFULLY BETTER IDLE QUALITIES AND STARTING QUALITIES!

[67chevy1series]

cool beans i take it that the trim operation got put on hold since she was acting up, huh?

[oldblue1968chevy]

Yeah, rick-when you get to the point of running driving you'll prob. need a regulator too actualy i know you will lol

yeah im just buying trim with spare $ and time if i see some i'll grab it, till then...just rocking the what no trim here but trim there look!

[XxCHEVYMANxX]

Nice truck Oldblue. all we need is more time. Oh and $
Keep up the good work.

Finally got around to putting my 'restored' taillight lamp on

(cleaned contacts repainted new bulb)

How do i get the brown plastic lense cleanish again other than soap/water)

[oldblue1968chevy]

Pictures. gotta get a diff bulb this ones too big to fit the cover on too lol

also gonna go back with the metal anco (i think) wipers my NEW plastic ones broke on the tabs (i had bright idea to prop them up at gas station to clean glass and forgot to put them back down)

But the all metal ones look better i have 1 but it looks bent?

Are the wipers adonized too like side trim (oven cleaner to take adnoizing off then polish)

[oldblue1968chevy]

Is my wiper look bent on the left side?

[oldblue1968chevy]

also got a line on 2 more 5 lug steel wheels with the nubs for hubcaps

I always just hit mine with some chrome polish, and a lil elbow grease! But yeah that one looks bent/bowed on the LH side of pic. I bought a new set a month ago. New ones aren't as chrome looking as my old ones, but blend better with wiper arms. I need to take the arms off, and hit with some polish and the dremel tool!

[oldblue1968chevy]

Ima hit em with oven cleaner on the bent one, mothers alum polsih on the buffing wheeel does wonders for trim

[67chevy1series]

wow your trim will be shniy'r then mine!!

[oldblue1968chevy]

Think I just scored a radio delete the factory color of my truck off the board. Couldnt pass it up for the price has rust etc (just like my dash does) and a very small hole drilled in it but hopefully i can get it mounted and complete more of my poverty stricken truck build (cig lighter delete, radio delete, heck a heater delete when i find one)

gotta get my spotlight installed with clips/correct template from junkyard and get trim on, fuel pressure regulator, get my timing right,carb right oil leaks gone, solid cab, smaller backup bulb, some heater controls,metal wiper blades,fix my wiper switch that quit, rubber mats sound deadening material, weld some holes, pull some dents, more baby blue rustoleum, better tailgate/headboard/doors/hood/.

Thats about all, maybe a cam swap but we'll see about that after i get it running 110%

[67chevy1series]

nothin like when it runs 110%!!!!

Nothing against J cars, but yours is much prettier, they all look alike. Back when I was 16 I'd have strutted with a truck like that, smiled and thought 'whatever' to anyone dissing it. Hell, I would now ...

Enjoy it, man!

thats funny, Happy Birthday, I remember back then i had army recruiters calling/mailing me all the time but not for me. The best i can tell you is if you want to do something do it as soon as possible it took watching my uncle dying of cancer in his 50's for me to realize that. That why i've been running all over the country just driving etc. to see america and Route 66 I used to put off stuff not anymore.
