thats been a good one! i just replace a battery myself not that old though.

[oldblue1968chevy]

What kind did you go with? Id like to make this one last till march (i'll leave for basic training, maybe they'll let me have a day off to look for truck cabs in S Tx LOL).

I'll park it then, i"ll probably start an entire thread on that..

[oldblue1968chevy]

here ricky

[oldblue1968chevy]

thanks dad! (only will be using this battery for a few months then it'll go in the toyota).

Ps, I need the clip that holds the trim on the door, the clip at the very back of the trim, mines floppy and afriad it'll get broken, dont wanna put a drywall screw in it LOL

On the list now is to figure out wehre those wires on the (+) can go (to make it cleaner) and get a battery box patch pannel!

[oldblue1968chevy]

3 Wires to battery

Fusebox (i think)
headlight relays
alternator wire

Where are these supposed to go lol

[67chevy1series]

trim looks awesome! only one more peice and your driver side is done! do you have all the passenger trim on already? the wires i would just cut them shorter so they run with the battery until they get to the radiator support better.

[oldblue1968chevy]

You lost me on the battery, where is the CORRECT place to put em, or do you know?

Thanks

I pretty much have no passenger trim, I really need the end clip for the trim on the driver door....

[Hubscrub]

i only have one wire going to the battery, (I'm not a fan of hooking straight to it) the one that runs across the core support (factory big red wire). It runs to a junction of 3 or 4 big reds on the driver side. heres some wiring dia.

From the factory they had a "junction block" It would be on your fender right next to the battery. Also should be a fusable link in there someplace.

[litew8]

usmcchevy is right. There should be a small junction block on your passenger fender by the battery,
you can see the rust outline where it use to be. Nab one at the JY the next time you visit.

Cleaned my tires yesterday while it was warm out with hot bathwater and comet (comet makes the whitewall shine!).

Better pic of my trim cant wait to get the last piece on (gota order some clips via carqeust).

Trying to get my washer pump to work, no luck yet lol

how is your driver cab corner when it rains??? is there water that finds its way in there mysteriously?

[oldblue1968chevy]

Really need to get around to lowering the rear a few inches (2" would be ideal)= 2" drop front and rear, keep the rake, but a slight drop as well

[XxCHEVYMANxX]

Truck is lookin good! the trim looks nice. I agree the rear needs to be lower. how much water gets in around your tank fill with the grommet missing?

[oldblue1968chevy]

Thanks!

I dont really have the extra money for a 2" drop block kit, but I have enough thread on the U bolts for a 1" drop block, but debating if 1" will really make that much difference for the trouble it will take.

Something like 2-3 inches would be perfect, but I dont wanna sacrifice towing/hauling abilities.

If money allowed id do a dropped spindle and 4" spring. For time being I'll keep saving for a drop blocks/u bolts (Around 70). And be on the lookout for some metal to make a block(s) out of.

Ha, I welded the gas hole up, then went back to in cab tank, i think its kinda cool. I wished I could find a halfway decent cab to work on in spare time (mines too far gone I think, windshield, floors/supports, and cowl is all rotten).

[XxCHEVYMANxX]

I know what you mean about extra money, sometimes seems like theres no such thing. and no need to spend much time on a cab thats not worth saving, but it's lookin good anyway. keep it up! I like the name change too.

[oldblue1968chevy]

Ok,I think my old parts truck had one.

ricky-the driver cab corner has rust/bondo chicken wire newspaper but still has a hole i can reach my arm thru

Giong to Fl for 2 weeks tomorow, Im going to hit some spring shops up hopefullly and get some U bolts for drop blocks cheap? cross your fingers
