Anybody wanna play? I have been powdercoating every bracket I can get unbolted and was wondering if everybody can ID them now that they are shiny.
First up...Holds the rubber bumper for brake pedal

krue · 06-13-2004, 10:34 PM

Next up, 2 shots of same one
Holds rubber under dash for steering column

krue · 06-13-2004, 10:37 PM

Next one is....proportioning valve mounting bracket.

mocwon · 06-13-2004, 10:37 PM

Can't identify the bracket but did you get one of the powder coat at home kits, if so which one and is the learning curve pretty quick?

*Randy70C-10* · 06-13-2004, 10:39 PM

The first two go under the steering column, they look very nice.

krue · 06-13-2004, 10:40 PM

Again.
Yeah I have the eastwood kit. It's more work to prep every thing and I still don't have all the bugs worked out, but I am having fun so far. It's a cheap way to kill some time, if nothing else.
Auto tranny shift linkage

1968GMC · 06-13-2004, 10:41 PM

pic # 2 is the column plate that holds the rubber thingny. Im not shure bout other 2.

1968GMC · 06-13-2004, 10:42 PM

auto trans bracket that goes between frame and tranny.

krue · 06-13-2004, 10:43 PM

some more..Top's the radiator hold downs. Bottom's the brackets that mount the booster to the firewall.

*Randy70C-10* · 06-13-2004, 10:44 PM

THe last two are to the automatic tranny linkage. How long do you have to cook the parts??
EDIT....I can't keep up.

1968GMC · 06-13-2004, 10:44 PM

rad thingny holders, the botum one i dont know.

krue · 06-13-2004, 10:45 PM

You guys are doing pretty good. Thanks for the compliments Randy, they could look better but I am mostly justing getting some practice. They look 100% better than they did.

1968GMC · 06-13-2004, 10:46 PM

more trivia plz.

krue · 06-13-2004, 10:56 PM

You guys are pretty good. No ones gotten the 3rd one or the last ones. Hint...they are within 6 inches of each other when mounted.

Randy I bead blast them (wish it was my blaster would speed everything up) then I wash them with acetone to get any oil off. Dip in muratic acid (to get rid of rust between the time I blast them and can coat them). Rinse and dry with air. Preheat for 10 minutes, cool off for 3-5 minutes, spray then bake for ~10 minutes at 400F. All in my back yard! It's amazing they turn out as good as they do!

1968GMC · 06-13-2004, 11:03 PM

is the third one the bracket that holds the prop valve?

krue · 06-13-2004, 11:06 PM

Another one...steering column clamp

krue · 06-13-2004, 11:07 PM

You are correct sir!

krue · 06-13-2004, 11:11 PM

That's all for now. Maybe more when I get another day off.

1968GMC · 06-13-2004, 11:12 PM

last one is steering column braket. hey do I get a prise? Ive got most of them correct.

krue · 06-13-2004, 11:15 PM

The only other one was pieces of the bracket that mounts the booster to the firewall.
Yeah, I'll give you sojme rep points when I get some more!

1968GMC · 06-13-2004, 11:16 PM

b 4 you go can you tell me what the first one an the one after the rad holders are?

*Gee_Emm* · 06-13-2004, 11:18 PM

Last is for the steering column, before that is the brake booster brackets. Come on, give us a challange here :p

krue · 06-13-2004, 11:22 PM

There ain't that many brackets on my truck, so how I could challenge ya'll is beyond me. I went back and added the id's since ya'll got them so quick. Now I'll have to try to find something to stump ya'll!

*Gee_Emm* · 06-13-2004, 11:25 PM

Maybe try taking pics with your camera out of focus, then it will be a challenge! :p

krue · 06-13-2004, 11:29 PM

Maybe I should play with them in Photoshop, then post them!
