Project Update:
Saturday I tore down the interior, painted the roof and dash, installed dashpad out of the '67, new pedal covers, tach dash (not wired up yet), seat out of '67 (have a set of buddies for it now), and a thorough cleaning. Overall its turning out nice.
I also started on the stereo. Test fitted my RetroSound kickpanel pods, lined both the kickpanel and back of pods with DynaMat, and began running wire. Going to run Rockford Fosgate 6.75" components, 4" dash speakers, 4-channel amp and 8" sub under the seat. Should sound pretty good.
I've run into a couple of little hiccups with the column. 1) The shift lever I got from Brothers (3-sp manual) is insanely loose. The hole appears to be smaller than the column and doesn't seem to be as long as the original. Still unsure how I'm going to resolve this but its horrible. 2) When I put on my "new" steering wheel I can pull the wheel and steering shaft out about an inch. That appears to have something to do with the spring and bearing at the firewall. Another thing I have to figure out. Looks like this truck is going to fight me as well.
Went and picked up my new carb/intake setup. Its an Edelbrock 1406 600cfm carb w/electric choke and Performer intake. I guess I'm going to also run a 1/2" spacer.
