The Snortin' bull

[namloc]

Cut out an initial patch piece,20 Gg. Trimmed.Bent a slight compound curve into the patch.Set in after some minor prep.Started to tack in. Dinner is ready gotta come back to this later.

[namloc]

Got some part's for parking brake install.From the Control Cables company.

[namloc]

A new accessory.A back window hat rack.

[namloc]

Static buzz still from MSD .I installed this BOSS noise filter for the radio and no more buzz or static. It work's.

[namloc]

Back earlier in the build I had found a parting out truck and got a rh sun visor.As the Bull originally was lh only.Well the left had one fell apart while driving the other day.So I had to refurb it.Now it matches the right.Sans the original vinyl.

[namloc]

Headliner kept sagging between the mounting points.LMC kit is nice though I had to add extra mounting point's.

Do you have any pics of your parking brake install? Was curious if you used the factory rear cables? I went to their website and the prices for their stuff isn't bad.

I have not installed the frt. cable and handle yet.I did install original cables in rear,The first rear cables that I ordered from LMC are incorrectly listed,NAPA still offers the correct for pre 63. I will show the install when it comes about.

[namloc]

Kept having some water come into the cab after the Seattle rain or washing.None from the windshield it seemed to be thru the cowl and down to the vents.Even in the center from the wiper motor area.I seam sealed anything of question.

[namloc]

The sealed beam headlamp's in the dark in Seattle rain weather are not good.So out they will go.I got a h4 conversion set to install.An updated harness with relay's also.

[namloc]

I had read this on the forum and you do have to open up the hole behind each lamp on the headlamp retaining plate's.

[namloc]

New front lighting harness installed.Scrubbed down everything and painted buckets and retaining plate's,Relays in for high beam and low beam.

[namloc]

All work's just waiting for the dark to align headlamps. Just posin' with the halo ring's.

Been driving a lot almost 10k miles in the Bull now.The Seattle rain is non stop thought I would take advantage of it.Wet sanded the white today.Some 2000 and light soapy water.A year of non cleared base coat lookin good and old .

Check straps or door stops. Using the jeep one's to do the mod at Crown jeep parts. Look close at the boxes the factory number is on them. These fit the later trucks pretty easily. Though take a little work to fit to the 60-63.lOOK close the originals are split bracket to rubber stop. Original pins fit also.

[namloc]

The jeep door straps do take some work. Nothing major. the original holes in the door shell need to opened slightly. I used a RH angle drill with a step bit in thru the inside of the door shell.. The pivot bracket on the pillar is best I think to be split ( cut ) in half and than slightly thin down the jeep strap to fit better .
