66 correct heater hoses and clamps today.

[HOTFUN]

Getting close to lot drive option to get the outside painted soon. All the pictures I took of the "new" 1964 to 1966 pickups at the Lambrecht Chevrolet auction are really making my assembly fun and so unbelievably factory correct in detail items. Was able to find correct reproduction heater hoses and then nos hose clamps/ fender mount/ fittings from a nos GM heater kit I had once bought out of a GM dealer. Notice the 3/4 hose end at the water pump end using a single tower clamp at that end only. Both the new 1965 283 V8 pickup trucks at the Pierce excursion had used this exact arrangement. How neat is that? Even been able to position and clock all the hose clamps just as those new trucks had been off the assembly line. It's been really fun duplicating screws and wire attachments and routings from scouring all those photos of untouched factory assembly line trucks that never got prepped at the dealership.
