Dan,

I received the clips in the mail today.. Thank you again for sending them.. They worked prefect… If I ever have something you need just let me know.. it yours..

Worked on the AC control that MCBassin gave me, thanks again Mike, finished installing new control rods use the clips that 67C10rustbucket sent to me.. once again thanks Dan..






Looking for the screws that hold the cables on to the controller… Does anybody know what size and thread pitch they are?

My bed had some pitting, I went with a color matched spray in bedliner. Looks great, thats the way you should go.

Gene,

Thanks... I hope the bed liner works for me.. Just finished reading your build, you truck is awesome... I can only hope mine turns out half as nice..

I am doing my build at Lake Eufaula.. Maybe I should shoot up HWY. 69 and check yours out some day...

Update from last Sunday..
Rebuilt the Fan Switch..





Started on the inside of the rear fender wells. The sand blaster could not cut the old factory weatherproofing. I used heat and a scrapper to cut the heavy stuff.. Then used some thinner to finish up.






 



This weekend I will finish sand blasting the tailgate, and bed sides.. then epoxy prime..

Glad they worked out for you, I have plenty more gathering dust if you ever need more. Progress looks great. Might need to get myself a torch for the undercoat removal, looks like it worked well.

It works well.. but it is slow.... after you get the thick stuff off.. then use somehting like thinner to cut the rest of it... once again thanks..

Is that the controls that come with vintage air? I love the factory look.

Gene,

This is an original AC Control I got from a fellow board member that I rebuilt. The vintage air piece comes with the AC kit from Vintage Air..

Update time… Last weekend I fitted the hood.. Like all reproduction parts this one has it issues as well.. Hopefully nothing I cannot work out.










I also finished up the AC control and test fit it.







Thinking about finding a good body man to paint and get everything fitted and looking good. I realize it will be expensive, but I have so much invested in the truck now, I hate to screw it up with a bad paint job.. Thoughts?

[Crash_OK]

This weekend I got the crazy idea of disassembling the tilt column I purchased from a fellow board member in order to paint it. First one I have had completely apart. It really wasn’t that hard. I had to build a tool or two, but not a difficult thing.









After cleanup..








I painted the pieces with some “premium” rattle can paint.. It looks really good, but after 2 days the paint is still soft. I am going to strip it all off again and paint it was something better – Not sure yet, I guess I should shoot it with primer and paint it with automotive paint.. For others that have done this, what did you use?

I also started work on the tailgate, but stopped when I realized it has an “S” shaped warped top part. I am not sure I can get it straight without missing it up.. I would love to find a super straight one somewhere, but after seeing what people value them at, I guess I will have to look at reproduction ones..

I highly recommend you meet up with Ryan (screamingchevypickup). Check my US Tom build out. He will shoot you straight for sure.
