A couple other different things I updated. I managed to find a newer seat out of a mid90s supercab.


I added a sanden AC compressor



I did replace the breather cap since those pics. And I don't have the vac advance hooked up right now. With it hooked up, it get a little sputter from a dead stop to accretion for about a couple seconds and then comes out of it. With no vac advance, it runs just fine. I have to figure that out yet.

I replaced heater core and blower motor. I replaced the big radiator with a new one. I still want to replace valve cover gaskets, new exhaust, intake and go through the brakes.

Nice upgrades. Will be nice to have air if it ever gets warm enough. Seat looks comfy.

Thanks guys. I did find the original build sheet under the original seat. I managed to find some pieces of it that mice used for the multiple nests they made while the truck sat in the trees and pieced together what I could. Most of it is there.

Looks real good. Nice work. I am working on a '75 and am planning on painting it two-tone. It was originally solid yellow. I am thinking of yellow over a real light beige/off-white color. I have painted a couple of cars using the rustoleum/foam roller method that some love and some hate, but may actually use real paint and a gun for this one. These trucks were made to be two-tone in my opinion.
