I got it since the switch has the metallic cover over the actual metal tab. I have one in my 78 but it was missing the cover. I don't know if its the same type switch for the 78 as the indicator looks different but since it doesn't really rain or snow in So Cal, I would've donated it to moms.

Let me know if the switch you got doesn't work out.

Haha, no worries man...I spent like $20 on it and its new. I have ran through a couple pull a part ones and they kept breaking. THe one works but will turn on on its own and i have to touch the wires...There are 2 diff types of switches so its hit and miss...Wanted to make sure my mom had a good one and i didnt want to go out to pull a part and hope. lol

Appreciate it though

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

White Stepside sold before I could see it. Going up to Clarksville after work to look at an highlander edition fleetside

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

yup was rusted out way too much for the asking price. The search continues

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Well went to see another today. Looked good from what i saw....BUT!! I arrive and the grass is a foot tall, a van is in the yard, a lac is in the yard, the front door is partially open and then i knock. A half naked kid answers the door and i ask for the guy. Kid says yes, turns around like he is going to get him and then comes back and goes out the door as a guy start backing his truck and trailer in. The guy is looking and can see this but then says hey you just gonna watch a kid get behind a truck like a retard? WTF man!! These people...I thought the kid notified the guy of me being there but after waiting a lil longer and no one coming out i went and looked it over. Looked pretty solid then i heard the other guy inside calling me a retard and such and said **** this ****...This is ghetto and im going to get into something if that dude comes out here.

But the white stepside is back for sale in the boro. Apparently the guy who bought it went to the bank and never returned so now im suppose to go look at it tomorrow. God knows if i want it how i will get it home but we will see

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Well I bought the 68 Long Stepper. Was running a bit rough and rich. Backfired a lot while driving and such but once i ran the old gas out of her she stopped backfiring. He said he hadnt had her on the road in about a year. So i need t change some fluids and such. Was idling real high, dieseled just barely after i drover her for about an hour at hwy speeds. She also stalled after about 45 minutes at a stop. So I turned the idle down then though to adjust the mixtures. Did a quick research on the 1406 eldlebrock and adjusted the carb. It seemed like the screws were all the way opened. Turned them all the way right 1 at a time and adjusted them out eventually to 2.5 turns each. Seems to be running a bit better but we will see. She needs new rockers..Looks like someone did a crap job replacing the drivers side previously and there is some rusting just above the windishield which kinda scares me but all in all she is solid. Supports and floors are good. 350 Crate with about 35k miles on it and turbo 400 which currenly reads 20 mph over...Guess i need a new speedo gear.

So i guess i need a new thread lol

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Nice Jeff! I like it!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Completed an oil change and cleaned her up butl she is officially gone. Mom came and picked her up today.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Sad to see it go but I really like your 68 bro!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

yeah, but my mom called me and said she loves it! So all the hard work on her was worth it

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Just had to explain to my mom how to lean the carb out. Didnt pass emissions....Read 6.02 and it needs to be 4...WTF they told me it needed to be 6 a few years ago and i ran 7.01...erg these people

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Nice truck! I'm definitely looking forward to the new thread!
