Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Installing NOS door handles with the gaskets got from Seth and restored vent windows from Rodger. I don't remember who I got the handles from, sorry!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Went to a meetup in a nearby town and met 72sb in person. That is one really nice little pickup he has! Wandered around looking at vehicles. About 70 years worth were represented. Everything from Model T Fords to '80s Corvettes. What I have yet to do today is go and trouble shoot the truck. It started running lumpy on the way home from the meetup.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Dropped mine off at the shop for an alignment at 8:30, picked it up at 11:00. Drove it literally about three blocks and dropped it at the glass shop for a windshield. Hope to get a call tomorrow or Wednesday to come pick it up again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Checked the truck out, yesterday. As I suspected, it's loading up a little. Gonna get a carb kit. Looking for a plating kit, while I'm at it. Gonna make it look close to new, I hope.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Rebuilt the carb. $280 for a plating kit, that ain't happening. I have a couple of adjustments to make, but they're going to wait until tomorrow. I can't take the heat under the hood when it's already in the '90s. At least the flooding condition is fixed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Fixed the wiring on my kickdown switch. I rebuilt the carburetor earlier in the week and then the kickdown didn't work. There was quite the mousterpiece of a wiring job from a previous "mechanic". Looking good, now. I'll reinstall everything in the morning. I don't work well in the heat anymore.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Laid out my new aaw wiring harness to kind of get an idea of what's involved. Then I cut up my old harness and used the old plugs to hook up my windshield wiper motor to the battery to make sure it works, then I put the arms on. Now I'm working on getting the windshield washer pump working. Then I can put the cowl back on for the last time (hopefully). I don't want to have to go under that dash to change out the wiper motor or the washer pump later

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Well, the alignment shop went great but the glass shop not so much. When my old windshield came out I got some rust repair to do before a new windshield can go in. Got the truck hauled home and started cutting the bad out on the lower driver's side over the weekend and cleaning up the pinch weld all the way around. Going to take advantage of the cooler weather and work on it in the evenings this week.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Hopefully fixed the real slow leak in my ac . Last year I retrofitted it to r134 worked great but when I used it the other day it wasn’t as cold as it should have been . Did the uv and it lit up around the hose end Had to replace a clamp on the low side hose . Pulled a vacuum and it held so I juiced it up and it’s crispy cold

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Still touching up some little things. Filled the antenna hole, swapped rear tires with fronts. Long story, fronts were 75s backs 70s. A friend saw that and called me out on it. Logged my 150th mile since the build. I'm happy with it so far.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Pulled the seat out. I have foam and the covers to redo the upholstery. I'd better start taking pictures. There are some wires in the corners that I'll need to remember later where they go, and the old memory ain't what it used to be.
