Re: 61K10 build

I just took out the orig. firewall pad in my cab and it was a thin cardboard material on one side and 1/4" insulation on the other. That rubber looks good & looks like it might be sturdier than the original stuff. Was it insulated on the inside portion?
Everything looks good! Keep at it.

What's that green wire going thru your vent for?

Re: 61K10 build

Yeah the originals were not rubber....I have wondered if they were a decent upgrade. Mine are original and made from the same material as the gas tank cover with and insulation glued to the back side of them.

Re: 61K10 build

the new pad has the jute on the back. green wire is a ground for the fuse box and is just floating around. not tied down.

Re: 61K10 build

going to hang the air freshner on my gun rack lol.

the rubber firewall pad doesn't fit to well up top a little big. has a ripple or bubble. I guess you can't see it though.

don't ever try to install the wiper motor by yourself lol.

Re: 61K10 build

All the firewall covers I have seen are cardboard with jute on the back. Where did you get the one made of rubber?

Re: 61K10 build

Jason---got it from brothers--$59.95

Randy---chicken or turkey feed lol.

thanks C@rut001

my heater doesn't blow out any air--spins like h#ll though and makes alot of air noise. wrong cage i believe, spins clockwise but cage is made for counter-clockwise. motor is sealed so can't reverse the wires. I modded the heater and just ck'ed if it spun. every time i try to save a nickle it bite's me you know where.

Re: 61K10 build

thanks 1963c10 for the offer. my motor is off a late model gm. don't remember the year. it spins on hi much faster than the stock one did. I had to cut the center out of the stock motor plate (because it has the mounting bracket) to the firewall. ordered another cage--we will see.

Re: 61K10 build

1963c-10--figured out my heater lol. the org eco heater spins counter clockwise--well my new setup was spinning clockwise thus not throwing out any air. will post up my new setup when working.

Re: 61K10 build

Kimble,

Your giving me lots a great info and ideas! Glad your leading the way in restore. Keep those pics coming. I like the wide swath path of your undercoating inside / out. Was the tintable undercoating not thought of till after?

Re: 61K10 build

Re: 61K10 build

Well I like it either way, and good to know that it'll cover right over the paint. Unless you scuffed it up before applying to the back of the cab? Melted wire huh. Well could of been worse, i guess. Did you go thru a whole gallon to do fenders and cab both?

Re: 61K10 build

I used a scotch bright (3M) pad before i shot the liner on the cab. the stuff sticks big time. I have one Qt left. the fenders i used an under coating kind more than a bed liner type. I thank i posted wrong saying sem as i used duplacolor spray can bed liner. seemed to stick well also. now the sem bedliner is2 part. you add a hardner to it.

got my heater fixed. used a blower motor and cage out of a 96 camaro. runs counter clockwise and does it blow! had to space it up a little as the cage is taller. do you have the eco in cab or under hood heater?

Re: 61K10 build

Re: 61K10 build

61K10 - your dash cluster is my favorite type (needles instead of tell-tell lights). Is it original or 3rd party (if so, from whom)?
