Some odds and ends
I installed my new charging/light harness and everything is okay. I dodged a big bullet on that one. Got some parts back from the sand blaster and painted the steel wheels (will be used on my 70 shortbed 4X4), the Blazer inside tire carrier, the in-bed spare tire bracket for the pickup, etc.
I installed the Blazer tire carrier and a 235 75 15 spare on a stock steel wheel which was blasted and painted. I then installed the original vinyl tire cover that I bought from Harry a year or two ago. It is in superb shape considering its age (the wrinkles will come out- I have had it folded up in a cloth storage bag for awhile).The tire is the same make/model of the 31 10.50 15's on the truck, just about an inch and a half smaller in diameter. Couldn't go larger or my original cover wouldn't fit over it. Don't know if I'll ever use it, but it looks the way it is supposed to look. Here are a couple of the wheels for the shortbed: I bought my vintage aluminum scotch cooler at Carlisle this spring. It was covered with paint. Cleaned up pretty good.
