Re: 1972 Highlander (Forum Truck)

I've been slammed busy at work and was out of the state for work for a bit. Moving along but, still slower than I would like. I'm almost ready to install inner fenders, core support, grille, bumpers, and hood. Doing a few final checks to make sure I have everything buttoned up on the engine before I install those parts. I wanted to do some day 2 hickey items like differential covers etc. but, I may hold off until the truck is done before spending money on those. I found some subdued differential covers, transmission pan, and flywheel cover I've liked using on other trucks. I also did a new engine compartment wiring harness. Bluetooth radio is in. Front carpet, console, sill plates etc. Driveshafts are in. New heater core and all the HVAC tubing. I had the emissions lines in the back remade by Williams Oil Filter in Tacoma, WA. Hood hinges rebuilt by Wilson Antique Auto Parts. Tilt column, console, and instrument cluster rebuilt by Randy here in Tacoma. Used the van shifter arm as it fits better with the 15" wheel. Exhaust manifolds were coated by Performance Coatings in Auburn, WA. Lots of other little details I'm forgetting. It is scary how close I'm getting. I always seem to drag my feet at the end because I enjoy the building aspect most.
