Oops, I was wrong. The Lokar shifter is a 23" - all the better.

Dropped into The Truck Shop in Orange, CA today....and of course I ended up picking up "a few more things" than I planned.

Then I came home and actually got a few things done!

Reinstalled the grill and apron beneath it (I guess its called), installed new headlight sockets, grommets and headlight-bucket-to-fender gaskets. I also bought new signal housings & lenses. Mine were rusted out after 58 years. The lenses were cloudy and basically fell apart when I removed them.

So the front end - with the exception of the hood latch panel that will be mounted tomorrow - is all back together. If I can find more of the Rustoleum satin Oregano I will spray the hood and possibly the front fenders.

Pic's coming shortly.
