Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

Thanks Kim and Gary!

Have to make a clamp for the tach, it doesn't have one right now...

Still waiting for electrical parts, but I have done something today.
Almost the complete wiring is in, except for the light switch and the dash has to be done.
The original lightswitch is broke, or at least I don't get taillights out of it?
I managed to get the switch in little parts, to see if it can be repaired, but to tell the truth, there are no parts in it that really can be broke



I cleaned the thing and put it back together, but at no effort.
This evening I get a "modern" switch, a new one for a Chevy Van, nice side issue is that now the front parking lights stay on with the headlights, I wanted that. Tommorow I shaal build it in and then it shoeld all be working, I hope

New wires, all with plugs.



My notes.... When all is working, I gonna make a nice diagram of what I did and keep a copy in the truck.



Busy getting wires in





Almost ready, does it look good to you?



All wires are marked behind the fusebox, so I know which is what.

The rest of the parts is also coming together: Tiltsteering column of a '77 Chevy Van with columnshift, GM steering pump with hoses and brackets, speedocable, steel (2 x 3")for the Jag IRS to make a new subframe, steel plates to box parts of the framerails. And I ordered new brakes for the front and rear Jag axles.
Haven't been sitting still
