This week had a few good steps forward.
Goose traded out the Neutral Safety Switch for the new one, and it didn't work. I took it off and put it on correctly and no issues since, other than stalling as we shift it, so I need to play/learn the ways of the carburetor.
Bernie got some new tires installed this week, on Thursday to be exact. No pics of just the tires, but they're on there.
I put Goose to work getting the "face" off of the donor truck and while she was removing the grille and bumper, I cleaned up the driver side wiring, and installed the hood mounts.
Goose was going to have to go to work, so she took it on her maiden voyage around the neighborhood, which "happened" to include stopping by her non-boyfriend to show off the truck a bit.
We then came back and started the face lift, after some grinding a bolt & breaking a few others off. We got the grille on, and it did dress up the truck a bit, putting this 72 into a 70 front end look.
Her non-boyfriend came over while she was working to help get the bumper -put on. He was tired of doing stuff at his house and wanted to get his hands dirty, so I put him to task grinding the bumper to it'd fit onto Bernie. The donor truck was in a minor accident, so the bumper is well used & not quite straight, so a little help was needed so it'd fit.
Finally, about 9pm last night we put the 1972 Bernie into the 1970 grille/bumper. Now just to add the hood and bed. After that, make sure the blinkers work and we'll get it licensed/legal.
Still more to do, but hopefully legal on the roads by this time next week!
