Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
The Wood is Douglas fir/Douglasie painted black and sanded and finally preserved twice with teak oil and finally polished.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
Painted the lettering and installed the tailgate.
It really looks like I'm enjoying the summer in the Truck.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
Now the rims have been painted and the tires mounted,
everything mounted, I think the truck will soon be on the road, tomorrow the test engineer will come and do a preview, I'm excited.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
Your truck is looking fantastic. The wheels are a good addition.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
Are you going to use the filler plates that go between the box and the bumper? or are you aware of them?

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
We just wanted to go through the truck and discuss what else I need to do.
Now the truck has been officially accepted. I still have to slap the VIN that we require on the front right of the frame and after the vacation from the test engineer, I will get my papers and can then legally register the truck. Thats fantastic.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
Morning Harald,
Any further updates? I know Easter weekend could be four days of government shutdown. Of course we all wait for good news on your truck.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
Thank you that is nice.
I got an appointment for next week, Thursday and can then register the truck, I'll report back. I had hopefully repaired the fuel gauge and the horn, which made contact while steering and switched on, the famous little things.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
The approval went well, I was pleased that the truck also got narrow license plates. The first 40km were driven, the horn now does what it should, other small things still need to be done, the oil pressure switch needs to be replaced, the steering wheel is crooked and the rear brake still rubs, I have to put it back, it had 70ｰ and the speedometer makes noises, due to the long Pontiac axle, 2.41, the speedometer shows about 30km/h, about 19mph, too little.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
Great news, Harald! The list of things to do seems short, and none terribly serious.
I noticed my speedometer is a bit noisy, also. If you look into that, be sure to post what you find. |

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
Truck looks great. I took my 62 for a short test ride this weekend too. Very satisfying.
