lots of good ideas. And some pictures too. Thanks DADZ59.
Also I liked the idea of the under the bed storage tub. We had one laying under a bed not in use so I grabed that and some Brake cleaner and brushes and it is starting to clean up. I just need some sunny days so I can open the garage and not get rained on! Got to vent those fumes.
Aston you said "" well since im here i might as well do this too". "
Boy I can relate. My truck is been out of commission for 15 months or so. It all Started with a simple exchange my steering column for the correct shorted one to match the new proper steering wheel since it needed rebuilding anyways. Then oops got to add the correct turn signal switch. Oh wait got to rewire as this 50 year old wiring is brittle so a new wiring harness, wait not going to do that without striping and painting under the dash, wait if I am running a new wire harness then I need to strip the firewall too, wait got to paint all this stuff might as well do the whole interior, almost done oh wait need to re-upolster the seat, and side panels, and fix those visors, and that Cab dome light, and the radio, and the deluxe heater controls, clean up that dash and repaint the whole interior, oh and the main cab mounts need to be replaced, and the main light switch and all the gromets and the wiring back to the tail lights, of and the distributer got tweaked so a new rebuild on that, and some pulleys and brackets, hey wait this engine needs painting! Oh and the front gasket blew out under the V in the front of the intake manifold. Going to have to get a bigger PCV hole to releave pressure and clean that breather cap, and a new gasket set. Wait I just did that 2 years ago. Dang doing work over again.
Oh thats were I am now and believe me I got to stop. Not pulling this motor out or another year will go by!
;-)
But its all fun. But I need some weekends back once in a while so it has been slow going. When this gets running again it will be on to the fenders, bed and other "minor" body repair and then a final exterior paint job.
