Don, That looks great! You have done an excellent job. I bet you can't wait to get it out on the road. It's always good to see another Art Deco on the road.

The only thing more amazing than my ability to cram 60 minutes of work into a 9 hour day is my talent for making it look effortless!

Rolling in two weeks? You must be thrilled. That truck is one fine ride!


Always get a 2nd opinion, especially if I am the source of the 1st opinion.

Thanks guys for the encouraging comments. As always there are some last minute overlooked items that need addressing here is my current short list:

0-60 psi oil pressure gauge - Want to replace face with 0-30 psi and install in cluster. Ordered from Classic parts and received 0-30 today, not the 0-60 one ordered.

Front splash guard - ordered last week from salvage yard in Oklahoma, still waiting

Drivers side center baffle Still searching

Defrost adapters waiting for delivery

Radio STILL WAITING

Clips for installing hood to cowl seal Arrived today

4 position terminal blocks Received today. Not original as only 3 position were required. Need these for turn signal wiring.

Piggyback wiring for turn signals and fog lights Ouch! Forgot to request to have these fabricated in main harness. Should arrive early next week.

Upholstery fabric Don't know why I've put this off

Rear window gasket Expected tomorrow

Bumper brace grommets Expected tomorrow

Double acting fuel pump Expected this week

Master Cylinder Floor Cover Expected tomorrow

Starter Boot Expected tomorrow

Window Channel Expected tomorrow

Windshield Crank Fiber Washer Expected tomorrow

Windshield bumpers Expected tomorrow

Rear Window Moulding screw set Expected tomorrow

Door Handle Anti-Droop Springs Expected tomorrow

Wow! Maybe I'll revise the rolling to two weeks from today
