Found the issue. In the fitting under the dash that is wrapped with asphalt goo to keep the moisture from dripping in the cab. I think the O-ring size was too small for the fitting.

I am glad somebody does.
That looks cut, like there isn't a chamfer where it gets pressed into, or it wasn't fully in the groove....
No groove. Has a flair that it sits against, then the nut pulls the flange on the fitting to it. It was too small for that tube. It fit inside of the correct one. I think it stretched then finally broke when pressure was applied to the system.
AC/heat/defrost is finally completely done. Dash looks like crap because the vents don't have a flange/bezel around them. Later on that.
My shoulders and knees are killing me.
Also installed a dual USB outlet under the dash.
I probably would have cheated and glued and screwed some flat panels on that back wall then did the sound deadening on the flat panel.
I dunno, looks like you're still going to get a lot of noise in the cab. There is a big hole in the center big enough that you can see the engine.
That’s the old school way of synthesizing engine noises through the speakers.
Hand throttle.
If anyone on here is needing aftermarket parts of any kind, hit up @folkenheath before you buy. He may not have access to everything. But he has not turned me away yet.
I talked to him Thursday afternoon about a speed sender for my TH400. I was looking at the full electric unit at $250. He recommended another one that was $73. It was just delivered at 2pm today, Monday. He has been a huge help in building this thing. Even if some of the parts will not make it on before the Power Tour.

@folkenheath's prices are really good too.
Thank you for your orders and the props, happy to help out.
Could not sleep. So at 4:15 I was out working on the truck.
Has a slight vibration from 40 to 50 MPH. I was thinking the drive shaft angles might be jacked up. frame at 0*, rear yoke at 94.2, front yoke at 84.4. I do believe that is within spec.
Rear U-joint was stiff in one direction. So I hope that takes care of it. Front u-joint is still good. I will buy replacements for both. Local Owrongly's has them in stock.
Now installing the long dip stick tube so I can check levels without a step ladder.

Do not get me started.
2 friends came over and helped me replace u-joints and put the drive shaft in. They left to deliver a car. Came back and I was running the speedo wire. Noticed that the transmission pan boots were leaking. Tightened all of them. Some were a full turn out. Checked the oil pan. Yep. Every bolt needed some twist. A few needed a lot.
We installed a new shell window in one of their trucks, because I have all of the tools.
Went to start Fugly, no bueno. No crank. Started diagnosing. Power failing between the switch and the starter. I did not need this. Better here than on the road, I guess.

Glad you had some help with the drive shaft, I remember them being heavy and awkward.
1 or 2 piece?
Neutral safety switch? Adjustment?

One piece.
Son of a bitch. Helps if it is in park. Put it in neutral to line up the yoke. Second time I have done that. My brain does not work well anymore.
Thanks for figuring that out for me. I walked away out of frustration.
