    Had a little extra time this week, got the doors put back together, the fender panels mounted with 1/4" rivnuts and thumbscrews so they can be popped off without a screwdriver. 60 year old doors that once the latches were cleaned and lubed close like the door on a bank vault, nice engineering. Hood latches on, made up the step / toolbox brackets.

    I like it. Kinda like mine but I used a K20 with a small block. Radiator and ac condensor was a pain to fit in there.

    I used an ez wiring kit under 200 bucks for 21 circuit. I think the 12 circuit is under 100. I am happy with the quality .

    Trim, mirrors, parking/ turn signals going on. Took the worst half dogs I had. sandblasted, primed and painted with "chrome" paint. I took a couple of parking lights, hole sawed the backs an epoxyed pvc conduit couplings to them to hold new sockets.

    They were great in a 32000 pound single axle but really didn't belong in anything heavier. They used a lot of them in marine applications.

    I had an L8000 crane truck with that engine and trans. My god it was slow, I changed it over to a rt910, still slow but it gave me something to do while I was driving. One thing about a 3208 it didn't matter how cold it was you could open the door in the morning, turn the key and it would be running instantly. Jim, that's the first thing I thought of but I want an R

    Nice trucks just had to remember which side of the tire the steps were on when getting out.
  16. 66dc75

    Did you happen to catch the name of the sign company in Baltimore? Oh, and don't ever trust one us signhangers to show up on time.

    Nice B42 sitting in front of a motel on the Cape Cod Canal for a while now, been meaning to stop and take pictures.

    So I gathered up all the small pieces I've been collecting over the years to pick out the best trim stuff in the pile. Turned out to be a lotta stuff. I'll have to have a yard sale when I'm done with this. No new chrome in the budget but I've got my Harbor Freight buffer. Things are shining up pretty good although there is a lot of pittting. Got headlights wired and working, I'm going to modify the parking lights into park/turn signals. I also saw a really nice R model wrecker today, I'm not as good as OD with the 70mph photos.

    Hi Bob, might not be 100% but it's going for a trip to the fairgrounds, Got headlights done yesterday. Found out something interesting today, I thought the hood I used was a B61 but there aren't any holes for the diesel emblems, must have been off a gas job.

    Progress report. Got the bottoms of both doors rebuilt, painted them inside and out and reunited them with the cab after being off for 15 years. I can't believe it's been so long since I took the original truck apart but I don't want to rush things you know? Now onto fitting power windows new glass. window channels and locks.
