Meet Clifford

Gauges fully wired and in for now. I don't want to fully install the panel because to adjust and calibrate the speedo I'll need to access the backside of the speedo.

Auto tilt? No tilt ?

I don’t remember what you got?

 

[tRustyK5]

Auto, tilt, early 70's so should be a direct plug in.

 

[max 02]

Wasn’t sure if you got a tilt or not.

Care if its an auto wheel holder after it gets swapped to standard?

Pull the pin chuck the lever and forget about it?

I think I still have a manual no tilt. But I want to keep it.

 

[tRustyK5]

I'll just pull the shift lever when I swap to manual...

I pulled rhe shift lever, and kept the “park position” switch for starting. I have to make sure the shift lever collar is in the park position to start, it serves as a minor theft deterrent.

Slowly getting the interior back to where it should be. Surprisingly the OG rubber floor was still in remarkably good shape, so it went back in.



Next up is the seat, belts, etc and then the door. At that point the interior will be sealed up...

I'm on the hunt for a pair of decent short aluminum sill plates. I have the passenger side, but it's kind of meh. My driver's side is MIA.

I have piles of them but they got mixed up so I don't remember which was which. Some are regular cab and others are suburban. It would help if you get a pic of the one to replace with a tape measure on it to compare.

Let me check if mine is driver side.
I have one

 

[max 02]

I might have one.

That red parts shed is a magic box of parts. Lol!

The interior is looking tits Rene!

Might inspire me to actually do something with mine.

They look good!

When I say I have a pile, I'm not exaggerating and I don't think this is the only pile.

It's hard to believe this is the same truck, and a lot of this interior I have re-used. It really wasn't terrible, just dirty. Dash pad has some cracks, but it's tolerably OK. I might splurge on a cover one day. The seat isn't even too bad. At least from a foam standpoint. Driver's seat bottom is definitely worn, but not super torn up. It's going back in as is for now...but new upholstery is on the list.

Gonna swing by your place on Wednesday afternoon sometime and drop off my trailer. Maybe we'll dig through the ever giving shed of yours!

Sounds good!

I don’t think I got the sill plates as nice as Kenny’s but I should have one.
