Figured I'd better put up or shut up, so here is where I am.
Haven't had time to finish my wiring yet.
Started her up and she ran great.
Sending her to paint asap.
If you're curious about the ignition on a two barrel truck, it's my wifes rig so it needs to start every time.

It was decided to move all the relevant Uni threads from the main 61-66 forum here to make searching easier so I'll be doing it over the next couple of days. If you know of any threads that would work here just PM me the link.
Don.

Question: Why have a separate forum for Uni's and not one for 1957/60's?

Personally, I think this is a poor idea, because it won't be long before peeps with non Uni's will be posting in the Uni forum, while Uni fans will still be posting in the 1961/66 forum.

And...there will be peeps posting that have all sorts of other models as well. FTE has more than enough forums, why add another that is redundant?

I don't know Bill, I think Uni's are so different by their construction that they may deserve a seperate forum.
Maybe the 57/60's deserve a spot as well, but I don't see the amount of traffic for them.
Just a thought.

Uni: The Cab is integral with the bed. What else is Uni only besides short/long bed related parts, back glass on Custom Cabs and door shells?

My average post count per day: 20.80. Now I'll have to spend more time typing more posts in the Uni forum.

Crabby old grouch sez in case some a y'all are unaware: I type posts in many FTE forums, and spend 8-10 hours on FTE daily.

Just what I needed...more things to do. (sigh)

We discussed that and decide as a group (FTE Staff) to do it here, the best place for it.

You're the one who decides what you're going to do, Bill. You don't have to do anything unless you decide to.

Don.
I appreciate the new forum.
Unfortunately the uni has not got much attention lately. The economy has made business tough and i am spending more time on the road
