Re: 1968
Today, It was such a nice warm day, I decided to was the old girl. Boy was she dirty. Setting under the canopy one would think it would at least stay a little cleaner.

Re: 1968
I ordered a washer bottle from a fellow board member, Thanks Jess
Tomorrow I will pull the bench seat. It will make the wiring a lot easier to do. Can't wait till I start the wiring. A long time coming. This is my third year working on the old girl.

Re: 1968
I got plans in starting my wiring next week. Got a guy from the Tampa area going to help. He is really a stand up guy. Glad to see that there is still some good people out there. I have meet a lot of guys here on this board and I only had problems with a couple. Al. and LA. area. I have sold and bought all over the US.

Re: 1968
Today, the big brown truck came with my wiring harness. The mail man delivered the washer bottle also. So, some parts did come in.

Re: 1968
Today I started wiring the truck. Just getting everything in order to start running wires to the front and back. The kit came with a lot of extra circuits that I want be using right now. So I rolled the up and I will tie the up under the dash out of the way for now.
such as power antenna power door locks power windows electric fan and a few others that I can't remember right off hand. I had to weld up the 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 square hole in the fire wall also. My fuse block mounts to the fire wall not thru the wall like originally. So as you can see I hade to apply some bondo to make the hole disappear. Also here is the mounted washer bottle that came in the mail.

Re: 1968
Today, I worked on the firewall patch under the circuit panel box. It came out ok, not the best work I have done but ok. Mounted the fuse panel and ran a few wires to the rear of the truck. I have to put some wire protectors on the wires to the rear. I connected the tail lights and back up lights and used shirk tubing over the butt connectors as you can see in the pictures. I still have to connect the clearance lights on the rear before I put the wire protectors on them.

Re: 1968
Today, I finished with the rear of the truck except for the tag light. Waiting for the bumper before I can do that light. I attached the wire to the truck rail today and made some grounding block and a 12V block. To make the connections easier for the small stuff. As you can see in the pictures.

Re: 1968
today I pulled the gas tank back off the truck and replaced the sending unit with a two line sending unit. Made some rubber lines to fit the new sending unit. and done a little more on the wiring a slow process it is.

Re: 1968
Today I done some more on the wiring. It is coming alone real nice. I am starting on the safety switch/back up switch. Tracing the wire down isn't no fun.
