Thanks, Heath. Glad to hear that was possible!

That confirms it, no fenders until after motor. That's great! Motor should go in next weekend! More prep this weekend. And more pics coming soon too.

Installing the Vintage Air A/C system:

You can see the 4 gauge amp wire here

BTW, a BIG thanks to board member RenoKeene (aka Brad) for sending me the bracket I was missing for my A/C install. Sent free of charge including shipping! This board continues to rock.

es67chevy · 03-11-2011, 11:40 AM

Some more pics of interior additions:

I was pretty happy about this one! Tested it and it works too!!! Yay! First indication that the wiring job may be successful. Ha!

es67chevy · 03-11-2011, 11:40 AM

Does anyone else use their bed for extra parts storage?

es67chevy · 03-11-2011, 11:44 AM

And our latest little stumbling block:

Accidentally let the little retainer clips for the taillights get away with the old driver's side bedside. Anyone know what will work here as a replacement?

Missing clips:

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 03-11-2011, 11:48 AM

Looks like a tight fit?

**67cheby** · 03-11-2011, 11:49 AM

Yeah, it definitely is. Plenty of scratches and bruises to prove it too

Hahaha. Yeah, plan to measure and order this weekend. Should be hidden for the most part. Going through the fresh air vent on passenger side.

**67cheby** · 03-11-2011, 12:01 PM

that is great... i will learn from you , that exactly how i plan on running mine...now quit typing and get it done ...lol

es67chevy · 03-11-2011, 12:06 PM

ran into a snag with the backup light harnesses purchased from LMC Truck. They are too tall inside the casing and do not allow the bulb to go down in far enough to twist and lock into place. Guess I need to get factory replacements. LMC's are made differently. Here's a pic of what I'm talking about. Posted a WTB on the board so hopefully can come up with some good factory ones.

es67chevy · 03-11-2011, 03:27 PM

Also, can't remember how to put the headlight buckets back in. Anyone have any pics? I tohught we took some but can't find the detailed pics. Argh!

**67cheby** · 03-11-2011, 04:16 PM

if you have a LMC catalog look it up it will show you exactly how they go , i think it is just one spring and 2 screws with the plastic square nuts that pop into the core support

Thanks, Mike. That's exactly what I did plus I found a couple more pics from a couple years back that filled in the blanks. All installed now. Yay. Now we just need the nice bezels! But at least the truck has eyes again!

Looking good Son! Can't wait to come over and see it in person. Looking forward to engine install later this week.

A decent hardware store with parts bins (used to be Sharon Fasteners around here) should have the clips. I think they are called J clips.

Thanks, dmack91! Got some today at Lowes in the auto parts bin. They have everything there.

Ha. Kinda go sidelined until we get our engine power management lined out and set the engine in to determine exact placement of compressor. It'll be sitting in there next weekend though. Patience, Grasshopper!
