Hi Bob, it’s been a while.
Work on the truck is going slow, very, very slow. My work at work is very, very busy. This leaves me less time to work on it, but more time to gather new parts.
The frame is painted, engine has been resealed...gaskets only due to a low mileage truck, engine, trans, clutch, pressure plate, throughout bearing, belt pulley assembly, drive shafts, break and fuel lines are also in.
Right now, the cab and bed have been placed on the frame for alignment purposes. The bed is a repo from Dave Mahr, head board and tailgate are repos from Mar-K. The wood kit and bolt kit from Mar-K are also ready for installation once the bed is painted.
Rear fenders are from C.C. Sammy until I can hopefully locate originals to install. (I’m working on a lead now.)
New wire harness from Vintage Wiring of Maine is ready for installation when the cab has been painted.
Dash gauges, door handles, cowl light reflector backings, etc., have been repaired and the trim has been re-chromed. I have a local source for anything that anyone might need to be re-chromed.
New tires, tubes and flaps C/O Vintage are ready to go on once the truck is finished.
The seat, sun visors and are rest have been reupholstered locally.
A few more items are needed such as a headliner kit, driver’s side taillight bracket; passenger’s side came from Steve Flower.
I plan on setting aside Friday’s to work on it during the winter.
I also plan on attending some local rally’s this year, but I’ll probably be going without the PW.
Please let me know if you have the driver's side cast taillight bracket, i'm interested in it.
Hope to see you soon.
