Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Thanks guys. My son has another TF in his shop to paint. It has an after market front suspension but sits too high in the rear. The owner saw my truck and wants his to sit like mine so my son is installing a TCI lowering kit like mine has for him.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Electric window crank switches, with dual window operation with button and one touch up and down control... now to rewire with the proper length wires to locate it all under the dash and wire wrap it all neatly...

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Nice. Power stuff is nice. I like folks who have never seen a crank-up window jiggle the handle on my non-power ones thinking thats how they work.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I think its my just installed power actuated sub running boards. You open the door and the lights come on as the boards crank down. Assumption is everything is power. The boards work great and make two 13" steps up into the cab. I added grab rails on each side so as not to tempted to grab wheel getting in. Ruined last column.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
did a little mock up tonight. drilled the new hole and ran the throttle cable. its going to work fine. I do need to get a new end to attach it to the throttle pedal. I'm online searching for one now. would be nice to just walk into a parts store and ask for one but that never works for me. progress is progress.
edit- after looking at replacement ends all night it seems a new throttle cable os a better option than a replacement end. so that's what I'm gonna do. Last edited by evilokc; 09-04-2017 at 01:19 AM. |

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Slowly, but surely been drilling holes and mounting/mocking up firewall for engine stuff before blowing apart again for paint - hopefully, this fall. Got column, booster/master, trans stick, throttle cable done. Still gotta drill and mount for fuse block/wiring, emergency brake, and AC.
Cheers, Jim |

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
tonight was a total bust. I installed the throttle cable. I really didn't think it would take long and this is all it needs to take a ride. I'm not happy with the routing. the cable has a curve that I think is a little extreme. I'm also concerned that I'm not going to have full throttle operation. tomorrow I will start over. I may have to make a small bracket that will allow me to move the cable location without moving the pedal. I'm really not sure at this point I'm bummed.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I went through this problem when I tried to use the type of pedal you have and that is why I suggested that you use the type with the cable attached at the bottom. If the engine is mounted in the original location the distance between the firewall and carb is too short to allow the cable bend required for smooth operation.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I haven't had a lot of time to get out and mess with the throttle cable. however I did notice that I neglected to install the cable adjuster! man its hard working on these when your dumb. I will get back in there and put the adjuster on and see if its close enough I can adjust the slack out of ir or if I need to trim the cable. either way it WILL work.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Well this is as pathetic as it gets, I am making a new patch panel to replace the one I made 25 years ago that rusted out and the truck was never even on the road! Geeez, I can't believe how rusty this got, it's sickening how stupid I was to not protect it as I should have. But you know, I was closing my shop of 13 years, I had a lot on my plate at the time and this didn't get the priority.
But anyway, it's underway. Brian

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Made a patch panel for the bottom of the cowl tonight. Last night I fit the rain gutter, holy crap I may be back on my 5 minute a day plan! I hope I can keep it up.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I've been busy playing with spray foam just to see how it might look... It's still a ways from being finished but coming along!!!
 mr48chev, if this isn't what I like, I can always have the original seat recovered and make a different center console for it , then put this stuff in my 55 GMC!!!!
