Thanks for the offer but I don't think I need anything, the rest of build is just upgrades , switches, p/w motors , and small stuff. Most of that I'll get new, so it is new. I've gone through my other stuff and the rest is junk. A friend here is building a 68 stepper so I give him that stuff. It's weird to say I don't need anything and a good feeling as well. Shoot me a text when you're down and we'll set up a day.

Thanks Derek

Re: 67 long box
Haven't posted in a while headaches bin crappy again, but I'm not complaining. I scored some cheap lumber off Kijiji and made up some cribs so I can start winter work. Wife keeps asking is it done yet and I say almost just 5 more grand and about 5 or 600 hrs. Put a new skirt on the Shop vac hover craft.

Re: 67 long box
So rev "A" looked good but really hard to get the truck up that high at once, so rev "B" split cribbing with alignment pins for safety

Re: 67 long box
Toying with an after market tach installed in the dash to look kind of factory looking. I don't mind the look just need to get rid of the yellow part on it.

When your boss is an acuralogist and only accepts perfection. It's hard to keep up with his standards.

I have a good used tach board I could send you. I picked up a NOS one on Kijiji last June. Let me know I can pop it in the mail.
