Re: 66 4x4 my sons new project

Yup!
Too many days and nights consumed over the past year, by my addiction to rebuilding this old pickup; I've just been enjoying driving it around town for the past week.

Did order a few parts that should come in this week. A 0.75" diameter clutch masters cylinder to replace the 0.70" in there now. Though I like the pedal effort I have now, the travel at the slave cylinder is just barely enough to release the clutch and its adjusted a bit tight. The 15% extra travel should hopefully be just right.

Also ordered a set of Hella ECE 7" housings for H4 bulbs. My sealed beam headlights just aren't nearly bright enough especially now that they are further from the ground.

And I'm getting a kit to knock together a simple fan shroud. I'm hoping that will solve the temperature creep that I'm getting on hot SoCal days.

After that a little bed wood and its time to start saving for wheels and tires (~$2000 eek!)
