I spent a little more time on the gauges this afternoon. I just need to wire up the LEDs and it's all complete

Took a test drive to try out the 5-speed transmission I installed in place of the column shift 3-speed. What a difference at highway speeds with the overdrive, it just cruises along without the engine screaming. Now, I just need to find an older looking shifter and boot to retrofit. And then on to the floor and rocker sheet metal.

Looks nice old cruiser, I think I might build one with glass, to expensive to buy one.

Not that expensive cost $269 from craftec.com but it did cost me another $248 for shipping to Australia still worked out cheaper than I could get from here.

Your bed cover looks great. I ran a Gaylord hard cover for about 10 years and it was a nice product, but very heavy and inconvenient by comparison.

Installed this a couple of weeks ago, but just now got pics.

Yesterday I found a small fine thread metric nut inside the engine block.

Yeah, I don't know either.

There hasn't been a metric nut in my garage in years.

It happens every year 'bout this time....... Leprichans..... St. Patrick's day is Thursday, they are storing their nuts. (they are from Europe... i.e. metric nuts)

See below: they look like "Vernski", except with a different hat / shoes. Oh, they are really small too (no offense).

You are quite welcome!

Yes it is Heineken. I thought that was strange, you would think it would be Guiness? Then I read this on Wikipedia:

Heineken is the titular sponsor of the Heineken Green Energy music concerts in Dublin, Ireland, as well as sponsoring Ireland's biggest music festival, Oxegen

My mother's maiden name was McClusky so I got some Irish or Scotish heritage goin on there too. Bagpipes make the hair raise on my neck... some connection happenin'.

Took the roof panel off of the donor truck. I will get this cleaned up and ready for installation on the red 66 that I gave to my BIL.

[61_FL_Apache]

Did the Tranny mount, pan gasket and filter.

Yesterday I got the engine bay painted, now its time to get it put back together, hopefully in time for the Lonestar Roundup.

[greg65]

Worked a little on the firewall tonight. The rest will have to wait until the cab come back off of the frame. I also decided to see how the tailgates fits. Still trying to make my mind to go with the chains or go for the cleaner look with no chains. I would hate to modify a original tailgate but we will see.

Today I pulled the truck out of the garage for the first time sense I bought it last week. I pulled the front bumper and grill assembly off. I also removed the bolts for the metal bed that the previous owner had put of the wood bed. I need to ground out a few welds and then I will pull the metal out. I cleaned up some of the wiring under the hood. It looked like a rats nest. I think I will clean up the wiring under the dash next. I am only cleaning it up to make it easier to remove and reinstall later after painting. I pulled the windshield wipers, antennae, parking lights, and headlights as well.

I feel like it was a pretty productive day today. Looking forward to getting it done in about two years. Atleast that is what I am shooting for.

So glad I found this site.
