The last couple of horn parts came in from Ididit last night, so I finally got to install my reduced diameter deluxe steering wheel for the last time.

Hey Vin, do you have any detail on how you went about reducing your steering wheel diameter?

Very nice grille
Did you have to modify the headlight pots to fit those headlights?

Replaced right side mirror bracket with NOS GM mirror I found on Ebay. Holes were there, somebody must have damaged original and replaced with aftermarket bracket. Mirror was the original GM mirror. Looks better. Cleaned out drip rail and put new seam sealer in.

I installed them on my 64 before paint and they work like butter, the doors close so easy I have to be careful not to slam them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Pulled my gauge cluster to be sent to redlineg.com next week. Going to add vacuum gauge, tachometer and convert the amp gauge to a volt gauge and calibrate the rest.
Also Ordered a rebuilt Saginaw 3-speed overdrive transmission.
