Re: 1968 GMC - Ol' Blue
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend. We got quite a bit done, not as much as I wanted but still a good amount.
The steering wheel is on and actually went about 10X faster and easier than I expected. On my dad's, used a Grant wheel and install kit and ended up having to use a horn contact ring and the cheesy foil stickers and it was just a really lame installation and it took a few tries to get it right. But mine was so much easier. Forever Sharp steering wheel and horn button with a Grant install kit. I literally used maybe 25% of the parts that came with the column, wheel, horn button, and install kit. I didn't know that the horn button was a switch itself which is nice because I only had to take one wire to ground out the button and hook up the other wire coming out of the column.
Also got my DBW pedal done. I had cut off the adjustable pedal assembly because there was no way it would work. There was already an almost 3/8" hole in the arm of the pedal itself so I bent up a piece of 3/8" rod and welded it to the pedal. I had a pedal pad, spring, and pin for the later style pedal that I made work and it came out pretty clean.
