Looks great!

**oldman3** · 11-19-2012, 12:28 AM

Nice....Jim

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-19-2012, 08:38 AM

Looking good..

FLcustom10 · 11-24-2012, 05:02 PM

Thanks guys!

Door handle installed on Drivers side:

I broke the bolt trying to put the passenger side door handle on so I'll have to drill that out and find a new bolt. Don't try the 'just one more turn' method on these!

beautiful

FLcustom10 · 11-24-2012, 05:14 PM

Installed the charcoal canister. I think most people just ditch it, but I decided to keep it for old times sake. I found the filter at NAPA. Wix part number 42998, NAPA part number 2998. Left hand hose goes to carb, middle to PCV valve, right to fuel tank.

Windshield washer tank:

FLcustom10 · 11-24-2012, 05:30 PM

New Fuel Tank grommet from Wes at Classic Heartbeat.

I put it in a pot of boiling water and wiped the area down with dawn dishwashing soap and slid it on. I pushed it down too far and tried using wooden popcycle sticks to get it back over the lip. They break too easy. I wound up using a screw driver wrapped in electric tape. I had a few panicky moments thinking I wasn't going to get it, but it finally popped into place after about 15 minutes. I wound up using a little bit of white lithium grease on the grommet on the inside of the cab to get that last little bit over the lip.

New horn button in blue instead of yellow:

FLcustom10 · 11-24-2012, 05:40 PM

Running wires for lights:

Side Marker, low beam, high beam, parking, and turn signal

FLcustom10 · 11-24-2012, 05:51 PM

New Grille coming soon. It looks like it's going to be an adventure getting these pieces to fit together. I've learned not to expect them to fit.

Really nice Jim. Did you find a good place for speakers or speakers that work well and sound good? I was also wondering if you found the bag for the Jack tools and where? It is good to see you are not cutting holes in the doors for speakers.

FLcustom10 · 11-24-2012, 09:33 PM

Thanks guys. I haven't gotten to the rear speakers yet. I haven't found a bag for the jack tools yet either. I did order a Houndstooth seat cover
at the Moultrie swap meet last week so hopefully the seat will be going in soon.

FLcustom10 · 11-25-2012, 08:43 PM

Parts are down from the attic and ready for some fun!

FLcustom10 · 11-25-2012, 08:45 PM

Headlights going in:

She lives!

**oldman3** · 11-26-2012, 01:04 AM

Allright....Jim

FLcustom10 · 12-02-2012, 10:31 PM

Mounted the Painless Wiring Maxi-fuse to the charcoal canister. I'm wondering if I could have hidden it inside the old voltage regulator housing, but at this point the wires are already on this side of the truck.

FLcustom10 · 12-02-2012, 10:34 PM

Painting more parts:

FLcustom10 · 12-02-2012, 10:39 PM

Pre-fitting the grille brace and riveting the grille.

JamesRKing72 · 12-03-2012, 01:56 AM

Wow. Lots of good looking hard work you have done. Great color too. :-)

**steelhorse** · 12-03-2012, 05:04 PM
