Re: The "Ole 69er"
Thought I'd throw in a pic of right after I got it on the trailer before the 8 hour drive back home. Not to shabby from this far LOL

Re: The "Ole 69er"
Glad you and Ole 69er made it back safely. Have fun with the rest of your build. I know it can be hard to do at times, but it will be worth it in the end. Good Luck!

Re: The "Ole 69er"
Got the Ole 69er home and did some work on it, changed out the sidemarkers and tailights, reverse lenses, front grill blinker lense and worked on the inside a little. Heres a few more pics of the truck in her own driveway now, I think it looks pretty darn good!! Im happy with it. I still have a looooong way to go with this truck but dude did one heck of a job on her and now its my turn to take it the next lap and start to do more, I hope yall like the pics!!

Re: The "Ole 69er"
Worked on getting the dash bezel and cluster all changed out with new pieces. Put LEDs in the cluster and left the green paint inside and it looks great and all the lights and blinkers and such work as well. Phew I was sweating that!! Anyway heres a few pics in the progress and the throwdown seatcover untill I can afford to get the seat reupholstered. Sprayed the upper dash with satin black and new dashpad later and it starting to look better now and had to get rid of the cadillac seat the PO put in it (reason for throwdown seatcover)!!

Re: The "Ole 69er"
Been getting some cleaning done on the 69er lately.I got the interior all cleaned up, got the exhaust all done with new ceramic headers, new fuel sending unit in, picture to come in the next post (SMH!!) and got the Tach wired, the new stock dome light replaced the old home made one they had in there.Got a throw down seat cover on the stock bench to replace the cadillac lookin suede pimp seat out of it, much better even with a cheapo on it. Anyway shes coming along pretty well, after the first of the year gonna put an american autowire rewire on the whole truck and try to rebuild the under dash. All in good time, gotta remember its a project and not a race to the end. shes runnin ok, a little fat but took it for a couple of rounds around the block for the first time and ran like a champ!!

Re: The "Ole 69er"
Hav'nt posted in awhile, thought Id catch the thread up a little. I have been driving the ole 69er a bit lately and have been trying to chase down the source of the hard brake pedal as my first suspect "the booster" through all the tests tested like it was good and I didnt want to dump 100 bucks on a new one. Well long story short I bought the booster finally and bypassed the proportioning valve which was also bad and viola put it all back together and it stops beautifully!!! I should have went with my gut instinct to begin with and I wouldnt have been working my right leg out everytime I went for a ride...lol... I bought all the parts to rebuild the A/C-heaterbox and seals along with new duct hosing and new vent balls and defroster vents , rebuild parts for the levers and a new fan speed switch so hopfully in a short time I will at least have heat. I will be gutting the wiring in the whole truck and getting a new wiring harness front to back and then comes the A/C closer to summer. Still have a mysterious clicking sound near the rearend when I turn but not sure how to diagnos it so I will keep on working. I want to thank everyone for all their help the past year I could not have dont it without the members on this site.I encourage everyone here if you have a few bucks to support the board to keep it going and as soon as I figure out how and when to renew mine I will be doing it as well. Everyone have a safe and happy new year... Jerry

Re: The "Ole 69er"
Tore all the A/C-Heater stuff from under the dash and under the hood out and started cleaning and painting and installing the new parts. Heres the new ventballs and housing job just got done with. Took them aprt let them soak painted them put new felts in the housings and installed the new vent balls. Used hot glue to hold the felts in place and its tight but I figure they will loosen up sooner or later. Heres some pics and the start of the next phase, the control setup with new switch and a new defrost bar.
