I am hoping so Jarred. Been so hot here. I have been working on the interior -
Tech bit on scrubbing bubbles . I had my heater core redid, which was a mistake as you can get a newer one cheaper, oh well, the guy made it too long and had to squoze it a bit so it would fit. Got that bit in and then started doing the ducts. Man, its a real snake factory behind the dash with factory air. I forgot to order the defroster hoses, so that's a hold up, and decided to go ahead and get a radio. Ordered the am/fm stereo from Carter, but its back-ordered so tomorrow I am going to see if anything is available local that will go in. I want to do the dash and be done with it. I haven't mounted the new seats, and won't until I feel like the dash is did. Without the seats or glove box in there, or gauges
(see tech tip on adding a tach its much easier to work on.
BTW, if you want to put gauges in and out of the 66/72 truck, drop the steering column a bit, it makes it much much easier.
While waiting for the interior bits I'll probably go back and get the drive shaft in, the radiator support remounted, and the new 700r4 cooling lines completed. I got that bowtie overdrives universal cooling line kit which looks to be very nice.
I was also holding off on body work till mechanical was did, but I might go ahead and do the tractor white paint after scuffing up and lay that on. The lion's share of banging bits about (stuffing in engine and tranny) has already been did. Truck will be blacked out grill (the grill was in poor shape) and black rear step bumper (turned out to be a nice one) and a white body and white interior. Truck was that medium olive color and I found it high on the yuck scale.
Then to gussy it up I'll probably add all grey interior bits to go with the grey ferd excursion seats I bought for it. Kick panels, lower door panels, door panels, and even grey sun visors.
