Did some reading up on the start up clutch for the AC unit and it can draw up to 25 amps on start up and use only 5 to 10 durning running. That is probably why they have the 30 amp CB in the kit as if it blows it will reset after a short time and then you can use the air conditioner. If there are not some real pressing issues with the electric clutch. If you blow a fuse you have to replace it and it will blow a lot quicker that the CB. Most of the CB I've encountered are of the slow-blow type to allow compressor and fans and etc to start up with out blowing a fuse when they first start up.. Just my 2 cents worth.. hope it helps and not insults.

Makes sense to me. Thanks for the input.

I haven't done much of anything to either project to be honest. Trying to muster up the motivation to go out tonight and do something. If nothing else I can clean the work bench off.

Sorry guys nothing new to report. I was delaying my post until I had something to write about.

I was thinking today about this...................then changed my mind. It's just hard staying focused at times.

Alan, What kind of wood did you use for your bed floor? Kit? or make it yourself? Thanks

I know what you mean here...I moved out my son's frame since we are waiting on parts to just sweep out the garage and put away a few things. I am trying to find the motivation to work on mine since I have some parts for it...

Yours looks great! You are so close to getting done...you can do it!

Hope that motivates you...

[daverod]

You've come a long way Alan. That's a lot of work. Truck looks great.

[chad64chevy]

i agree, your so close to being done! i just wish i was that close but i'm not! you have done so much that i wouldn't even begin to add up what you have tied up in it! know you've thought of selling it but you will never get what you have in it! just think when you get done with it you'll be driving it, enjoying it and thats the utimate goal, i think!! the before and after pictures look like a totally different truck, you encourage me to keep working on mine, so i cant let you give up, lol!! good luck and keep at it!!

[jgh64pkup]

Wow Alan that is getting close, and looks perfect

I have to share this major accomplishment in my life.

I accomplished my goal.….........I finished reading the Bible. Man, it feels great. *Now I have to start studying it.

Congrats Alan..

[McMurphy]

Wow to think all these years that the Bible was unfinished....

Just kidding.
That is a great accomplishment.
Reminds me of a ghost story I read when I was young.
A kid braves a haunted house to find the ghost haunting the place needs someone to hold up a lantern for him all night.
The kid agrees to do this if it would put the spirit to rest.
The ghost had made an oath in life that he would not rest until he had read the Bible cover to cover, and what he did not accomplish in life, he was doomed to complete in death.
He needed the kid to hold the lantern for him while he finished his read.

I never forgot that story, and now 35 years later you just reminded me of it.

Time goes fast, and I decided to keep my regrets and things left unfinished to a minimum.
Regrets are the ghosts that haunt us when we are old.

Now I gotta get down to the garage and get some work done on my project !!!
Happy weekend !

I'm not much of a reader either. I don't even get any subscriptions any more.

I don't know if I want to know where you are going with this Dennis.

Got back in the shop tonight to get a mental inventory of where I left off. So many unfinished projects. I think it is time for me to strip off the front sheet metal and get the engine wired and fired.

On a side note, I've been racking my brain on a neat way to wire the lights in the hood. Tell me if you think this will work. I want to mount a door jamb wire eliminator on the core support some how. Just wondering if the lights will flicker going down the road. I think if the hood is locked down good and doesn't move much it will work. That would eliminate the wires coming up the back side of the hood. I will use a 3 pin connector.

What ??? I get all Hotrod, trucks, and motorcycle Rags. Also called Magazines.

I think that's a good idea. But what happens when it's raining. Will water short them out? I'm thinking of shaving all the holes in the hood just for that smooth look, and not because of the wiring.

I saw pics if this truck that you posted somewhere else. I noticed the drip rail but didn't notice the hood. The hood doesn't look bad and neither does the drip rail.

I'm not knocking that truck at all. It's a kewl truck. It was the only 60-66 truck at SEMA.

That's funny this forum wouldn't let me say "b X X X X X n".

Sorry Dennis, I had to edit it. You bypassed the filters on a mods thread. It would be hypocritcal if i allowed it. Hope you understand.

Pics of the throttle rod and I got the ZDDP in the mail today. Thought it would a little bigger bottle.

Still got to get the TV cable and brackets figured out. Return springs will be installed once the brackets are done.
