A little elbow grease in between games and during half times got the old oxidized paint looking a bit better!

 

Loooookin' gooood!

 

Rubbed its bumper, felt up the headlights, lifted the hood, turned her on REAL NICE LIKE and said HAPPY NEW YEAR BABY!!!

 

Dyed and installed the other door panel and aligned the hood better. Still a bit off but much better than before.

 

Installed a trackbar, bled the brakes, and took it for a quick drive... no more shakes, the brakes work, and it doesn't pull at all! Although the steering wheel is 180 out...

 

Got the windshield wiper arms and motor installed in new cab

 

My highboy has had one since day 1! need another but cant find one, my current girl is a little faded...

she danced really good when the old truck still had death wobble!

 

Finally got the factory steering wheel installed.Well it is from a different year & about 1-2 inches smaller in diameter but it is Perfect, Has the soft foam wrap instead of the hard Plastic.

got the nice toilet flange installed.



Haha! in case you are wondering its part of the duct assy under the induction scoop that will connect to my sealed air cleaner housing. It is surface rusty and needs some finishing. The waxy brown stuff is rustproofing that leaked off the underside of the scoop and hardened, will scrape off later on.

 

installed 2 mark VIII fans

 

A thread with pics would be nice.
I know the "I love my new fan" thread, but would like to see your approach.

 

Gave the "OK" to the Performance Shop to rebuild the 360. Should have a "new" engine in two to three weeks. Too bad the truck won't be ready for it by then.

 

Nothing today but last week got new steering column cuz shift collar broke...and fixed the signal switch finally.

 

Rebuilt the heater for the new cab on the 76
