Went to another junkyard and found an oem air cleaner and 8 lug wheels (white 16x 6.5) and hubcaps from a 72 suburban. After I left, I got my truck and put the wheels on to see if they would fit. They did like a glove. However the hubcaps...not even close on the rear. It didnt even cross my mind that the axles might be different. I found only 1 hubcap from 69 that fit my 3/4 ton. I found tons of 1/2 ton and later hubcaps. One down three to go...

Thanks Ole. It just seems to take some time & money to get these to where you can enjoy driving them. Next plan of attack will be installing the new dash, which means I've got to remove the radio, gauge cluster & glovebox liner. That will be a fun time.

Picked up a new wheel for my short bed. popped in the old horn button and I'm one happy camper
