Re: The Pusher!

Watch those little toes! Thanks for posting the instructions. I bought one straight off a member's truck on the parts board. I need to check but I should have everything. When I restore my '72 I want cab lights. I have another car with them. I don't know if I'll swap the top or go with restoring that cab. If I do that I don't want the original cab left with the spotlight hole. That's why it's stashed away

Talking Re: The Pusher!

Member BigBird05 sent me some factory correct fitting for the Delco Pleasure lift gauge. I got it installed last night and the line ran to the tank. I have to get a reducer fitting for the tank and a toggle switch for it. The switch in the radio hole turns it on now but I'll mount the new on on the face plate of the gauge.

Took it for a drive and had a hitch hiker along for the ride also.

Talking Re: The Pusher!

Wanted to update. The tilt wheel is in and has been for awhile now. Took the old Corvette wheel off and put a 2 spoke wooden Impala wheel on it. The Harbor Frieght winch we bought and installed works great. It's a BadLands 12,000lbs and it has both the 25' cord remote & a wireless remote. I like the wireless so I can walk around the vehicle as I load it.
This was week are so ago when I brought the 68 home. I will be updating this again soon I hope with some new parts. New GM aluminum intake & 4 barrell Quadrajet soon I hope.

The new steering wheel in the ramp truck. I really like the 2 spokes and the home made horn cap makes it even better!

Thanks guy's. I haven't found a floor mat yet for it, not sure if I want one though. I've been thinking about buying some diamond plate pattern rubber matting and doing it with.
I want to add the intake & 4 barrel first though. Going with the one on the right. Somebody knocked the center bolt hole flanges out of it to install on a later model motor. I've been told they will be fine just add some washers. It was free so it's worth a try.

Another small addition to the pusher! A friend from our local truck club offered this box to me for free. Yesterday my neighbor & I cut it and welded it into the side of the bed of the pusher. I plan on painting it this afternoon. Got the keys with it also so now I can lock up stuff. It sit's low but it's the same height off the ground as the frame is so it shold be fine at least I hope so.

Thanks, I finally got the light hooked up and the box painted. I have also added some stacks to it. I have a new set of lens ordered to put all new lens on the marker lights. I have a extra one to mount inside with a switch to use for looking for stuff at night.
