That day was September 24 2016
I gave it to Colby to fix up as a fun project for him to learn on, he is 15 and takes welding in school, he enjoys the class and does good. This truck will keep him busy for a while Lol!
It had a Hickey sidewinder winch very poorly installed. We took that off and stuck it on a bench for a latter day. It is seized up.
Pulled the cover off the 14 bolt 410 gears yay!

It was sitting outside in the snow so we got it in the garage right now fixing some of the little things...
It has a 350 that runs real good! The tranny is a th350 that slipped like crazy, we added oil and holy crap it work s fine. Thought the cooler in the rad was leaking the trans fluid out. But now that it is inside we found one of the tranny lines had a pinhole in it,patched that but haven't driven it yet.
I got one of the rear brake lines off right now... it was rusted through, so we need to make a new one.
The ignition switch was bust so I replaced that yesterday.
Slowly coming along.
Made that tool out of a garage door handle so i could get that fockn clip to release and reinstalled.

Figured you might like a sticky blue 77 Long box.
Thats what we thought...save the round eyes!
Bent up a new line yeasterday. Just need to adjust the drums add fluid and bleed.
The gadge cluster is a plane dummy light version.
I got lots of different ones with proper gadges.
Are they plug and play?

You called it!
Just tried 5 different ones. Woundering what the difference is? Different senders on the engine?
Cool truck!
Thanks Greg.
I'd love to get a phone call like that. Looking forward to more on this truck.
Didn't have a glove box or dash pad.
Found this blue one in my stash. Not the same coulor but good enough for now.
Got a dash pad in my attic but it's red.
And not in great shape.

Roundeye lives matter!
Dean does the wire harness from the steering column to the gauge cluster match the new cluster printed circuit?
I had issues with the printed circuit itself. Check closely each circuit on that flexible sheet to be sure there isn't a tear or hot spot. Also that the tabs making contact are in good condition!

Spot on! I used really fine sand paper on all the contact surfaces for the cluster and it went from about half operable to working like a charm.
