 Nice idea on the bolt, didn't know that. I started to take that bolt out, but heard weird noices(crunching and crackling), so I tightened it back up. We should start a tip of the month threadHow's things with the Jimmy?

Re: PO has me PO'd
After all the 'small parts' comments in the other thread, it got me to wondering how you've been doing with this project. Anything new to report? I can't tell you how much the pictures have helped me figure my truck out. Thanks for being so detailed!

Re: PO has me PO'd
Here's some pics. of what I'm into...
Alum. fuel line. Found out that -6 and -8 AN sizes are uni-flare, meaning a 45° flare tool will work. After seeing what happened to AJ's engine, I left a piece of rubber fuel line after the fuel filter that can be clamped off to run the engine out of fuel and work on the carb. Still waiting on the last of the fittings after the fuel filter, it is a 150° bend so the rubber hose doesn't hit the cross member After alot of help, including diagrams, from the electrical guys( thanks VetteVet) I decided to send the harnesses back to M&H for the mods. Still under warranty, should be back in a couple weeks. Got the mechanical side of the water pump plumbed, so that is a plus Interior is still pending, samples arrived, exactly as original. But they included a green color, and that threw a monkey wrench in the works Clocked my alternator, another problem, since the armature came outta the brushes. Realized there is a hole thru the brush holder and rear half of housing to insert a rod to retain the brushes and allow you to reassemble the armature. DO NOT separate the field windings and rear half of the alternator, bad things will happen! You only have to pivot the front half to get the wire locations correct

Re: PO has me PO'd
hijack...
7-9 Aug www.carsatcarlisle.com Special-K (Tim Hicks) has three spots near the truck shop (california) and usually has a cot in his area. IF I bring the RV then you are more than welcome to crash. I will probably only be there on Friday and Sat (fri night) since I live 45 minutes away and sunday is kinda dead.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Couldn't stand it any longer! Had to mount up my new fenders...couple shims here and there, also have to file lower fender mount hole, but not a bad fit for OEM to Repop. Nice work Tri-Pro!!! Gotta wait on mounting the grille and core support, need access to engine compartment
