Re: Slowly I build a truck
Probably should have left a little more length for timing adjustment, but I think it's OK.

Found the spring and clip I needed for the Jack at the junk yard. I still need to find a bag for the tools.

Re: Slowly I build a truck
Thanks guys! I really had never even changed my own oil before I started this. I'm just taking it a step at a time and walk away and call my friends for help when I get over-whelmed.
Polished up the old fan Shroud and installed the radiator support: |

Re: Slowly I build a truck
I used a pencil type sautering iron along with a razor knife to burn through the carpet as needed for bolts and dimmer switch.

Re: Slowly I build a truck
Where did you get the new rubber around the dimmer switch? Never seen that part before.

Re: Slowly I build a truck
Thanks guys. Chevy88 - I was expecting the rubber grommet for the dimmer switch to be included with the carpet from Stock Interiors. When it was not included I called them and they sent it out right away no charge. I'm not sure if it was an over-sight that it was not included originally or if you just have to ask for it. Before I called them I looked around to see if I could just buy one, but I couldn't find it anywhere as a separate item.
