Re: Daughters 68 step...
Hooked the steering up and installed the alternator bracket. Got to swap the long water pump for a short one tomorrow.
I ordered the GM Disc Brake Conversion Proportional Valve Kit Disc/Drum Proportional Valve along with a Lokar Column Shift Linkage GM TH350 TH400 4L60E TH200 700R4 ACA-1800. Suppose to be here Tuesday so I hope by next Friday it's up and running. Tomorrow plan is install throttle cable and brackets for the kick down for the 700-R4.

Re: Daughters 68 step...
Good day on the 68. Got the 67 amp alternator on and took all the old external regulator wiring out and ran everything to the alternator. Need to find a alternator arm to work with it though. Got the steering all hooked up. Throttle cable done and 700R4 kick down cable is in. Not adjusted yet but it's in.
Still need a squirrel cage for the heater motor. Temporarily hooked up the battery and it has lights.

Re: Daughters 68 step...
Well I checked the NSS today and it works. We cranked the truck yesterday with the key switch. Ran good. Only problem I have now is the oil gauge isn't working so I have to get another gauge installed. Put a temporary gauge on it and it shows 60lbs.
Got the shifter linkage hooked up but didn't get it completely adjusted like I wanted. Will finish that and putting the finishing touches on the brakes to start filling them and bleeding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoGVe4n76ZU

Re: Daughters 68 step...
Well today I brought the 68 home on the Ramp truck. I worked on the front end and just about got it all back on. I did take it for a short ride up to the end of the street but with no exhaust I didn't want to go to far. Going to call about the exhaust tomorrow. I bought a cheap seat cover for it also.

Re: Daughters 68 step...
Great deal.
I just realized it is a white nose truck. I like it.  .
