Wiring shorting out? Hope that is just for "get it running purposes". Start a thread on why it won't keep running (symptoms) and we might be able to help.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2

Found some time today to work on making a 4" bigger than stock C notch for my 51 C4 build. Hockey with the boys and hunting is taking up a good chunk of time.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2

Just starting on my build.
Since I don't have patch panels for the cab yet, I decided to work on the rear bed panel. Lots of hammering to make it somewhat straight and welded some tears in the metal. 1 corner of 1 side was completely gone so I trimmed it and made a patch panel.
When assembling the bed, are there supposed to be spacers to keep from crushing this area?

Maybe you oughta! Looks pretty good to me.

Hi Rudy, I notice your location now says Glendale, AZ. You're out there permanently now? I know you said you were moving but are you permanently gone from the desert here?

The seat looks great. Did I miss it? Whose cover is that or did you sew it yourself? And the embroidery, if you bought this who offers that?

I was gonna comment on your mentioning powder coating the bottom frame. Why the expense? It's not like it'll ever be touched much. I'd paint it myself, maybe even rattle can it. No one but you will EVER see it. I know, heresy to some but on my budget I'll save the powdercoating for something that'll be seen and need the scratch protection. Merry Christmas, Rudy!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2

Replaced the old waterneck and upper radiator hose with new parts from Rock Auto The new thermo housing is a aluminum part that looks good on the aluminum Holly manifold. The hose is a Gates smooth molded hose for a '69 Firebird. I had to shorten it quite a bit but it worked out fine.
