Dean'smeanmachine · 10-03-2014, 08:42 PM

looking good dude

gdavis · 10-03-2014, 09:13 PM

I didn't do much today. Just installed the new gas pedal pad and bezel.

gdavis · 10-05-2014, 08:01 PM

I had to pull the steering wheel back off the truck. The bottom tabs were broke off, so the horn cup has to be replaced, Just my luck.

colgad · 10-05-2014, 08:43 PM

George, it the wheel upside down in the picture?

It's only upside down when you are looking at it. I took the wheel back off. The locking tabs on the horn cup was broken, so I am sending it back to the original owner. I will continue my search again tonight.

gdavis · 10-06-2014, 09:32 PM

Broke down and bought a new brown wood grain leather steering wheel tonight. Be here Friday. I just got tired of trying to find the horn cup for the blazer steering wheel. I will order an adaptor hub also when I get my refund which is in the mail for the used blazer steering wheel. I will post pictures when it arrives.

colgad · 10-06-2014, 09:58 PM

George you have the worst luck with used parts.
Can't wait to see your new wheel

yea isn't that the truth,

bumper, wiring harness Oh I didn't tell you about that. I worked on it for about 4 hours and then grabbed it and put it in a box to be never used again. I found a wiring harness from rebel that I will be ordering soon. now the steering wheel. I cut my losses on the wheel and got a new one coming Wednesday. Me and used parts just don't mix.

gdavis · 10-07-2014, 11:36 PM

I ordered a new steering wheel Sunday night delivery will be Wednesday some time.
I also a adaptor for the steering wheel Monday morning and will be delivered Friday.
will post pictures of them then.

gdavis · 10-09-2014, 07:59 PM

My new steering wheel and adaptor hub came in today. it came from forever sharp. The steering wheel will be a improvement to my interior. as you can see I haven't finished the install. just have to figure the horn out. Do I take the old horn wire and use that?

gdavis · 10-10-2014, 08:52 PM

installed the new steering wheel on the old girl but, I might have to pull it back off when I wire the truck. I did not connect the horn. also a couple of pictures of the boys, they like to help when it don't mean getting dirty.

cubber · 10-11-2014, 09:57 AM

I like that wheel, George! Strong looking young men, too!

Got in touch with forever sharp and they are trying to help with a boe tie for the steering wheel.

Mustard72 · 10-13-2014, 11:46 PM

In a few years those boys will be asking for the keys and be really eager to run to the store for gallons of milk, eggs, or whatever your wife wants them to get just to drive the truck around town. Can't hardly blame them.

gdavis · 10-15-2014, 01:44 AM

Today it was a rainy day. So I didn't do anything on the truck. I did get a chrome dual return spring and attachment for the carburetor. Real nice set up. I got the wiring harness coming it should be here in a few days. Then the fun starts.

gdavis · 10-15-2014, 07:45 PM

Today. I ordered a few more parts.
all the hangers for the exhaust pipes and brackets
two chrome oil filler caps.

gdavis · 10-17-2014, 01:56 AM
