Got my seat back from upholstery today. It was done by the sister of a good friend of mine. To say that I'm delighted would be a gross understatement! This seat smelled and looked disgusting when she picked it up. I felt kinda bad that her house might smell like it. Ick. It's all leather and smells like a new leather coat. Can't wait to get it in the truck. It really came out great!
I discovered that the heater core is leaking. Ugh. Drained the radiator and pulled it out last night. Took it all apart early this morning. I'm doubting that I can have it fixed and the fan motor replaced or rewired for 12 volts by the weekend. The dilemma is that the radiator drain is on the front of the radiator and can't be reached with the grill in place. I bolted the grill in late last night. If I bypass the heater, then put it back in later I'll have to go the nuclear option and just pull the bottom hose off. No biggie I guess. The heater core is an old Mopar Deluxe unit. I'm guessing it's from the 40s.? It's pretty cool and apparently has been in the truck for a really long time. I'm planning on rebuilding and using it.
Sins of Steel is in 6 days and I still have pages of stuff to get done. We'll see how it goes....I'll keep ya'll posted
