    Hopefully I’ll get some time over the weekend to get back on my dash wiring, ( No Harness at all, was all trash) I’m trying to use as many old switch’s as I can, sense I’m putting it back for the same look it had when I started driving it when I was 18 . The biggest changes I made are Tubeless tires, Alternator, backdrop manifold and Jake Brake. Tom Mahoney is sending me 2 old style Jake Dash switch’s. Hopefully I can get a good start on the wiring, Equipment hauling has been busy ( which is great,, when buying Paint and old Mack parts)

    Mud Flaps look perfect on the front! That’s the way we always mounted them on ours . When Dad got a New truck that was the first thing that got installed,,

    My 51 LJ had wood between the frame and plate, I took the old U bolts and had new ones made. The wood I put back I cut from decking material. I’m sure if you used it every day the bolts would have to be retighten every now and then.

    I have a Gut Feeling we will get a GOOD Backdrop video from a B73 in a few months,,,,,
  10. 1961H67
    OH Yes ! I Grew up near those Emeryvilles that I got the Backdrops off of! That’s The Sound we were looking for! Congratulations!

    I’m glad you got to hear 100 yards of Backdrop Music!

    Thank you, I’ll check them out, I have a extra fuel/amp gauge and air gauge,, I could go ahead and wire everything up, then swap later.

    Anyone ever seen this truck? Picture was taken in late 80s
  14. 1961H67
    Where was it bought from? Color.? I have a 87 Freedom Superliner.

    Worked on the dash some today,I’m still looking for a air PSI gauge and Fuel//Amp gauge if anyone has ideas, going to use them for now, they work but numbers and letters are coming off , still making progress.

    Have you been able to tell the difference in the “ Backdrop “ and a regular center drop? I’ve reved mine up some , I can’t really tell, I don’t have a stack on it yet. Your going to turn heads for sure!
  17. 1961H67
    I bet that felt REWARDING!
  18. 1961H67
    That’s a great idea, It’s originally almost flat when you push the pedal all the way down, My ankle won’t bend that much, lol ! I know what you mean about melting,, I get in about 5 after Trucking all day and try to work on mine a little, about 30 minutes of heat is all I can stand. We are making good progress in the last year, Thanks again for the motivation!

    Yes I was Grateful to get the NOS parts! ,, My help usually has Boots on ,lol . He was slack yesterday 😎
  20. 1961H67
    I put my help to work today,, it’s handy working inside a cab at 4ft tall! Got Some NOS Parts , A steering wheel, never been installed, a Speedo still in Cosmoline , with 1/2 mile on it and a NOS oil psi and temperature gauge,, I’m still looking for a Fuel and Amp gauge in decent shape, my numbers and letters have fallen off .
  21. 1961H67
    Progress! Great Detail!

    Got a few hours more today, mat is in and put retainers in all the original holes ( hopefully I won’t have to drill any holes for any thing, already has twice as many as it needs) Got my fuse box mounted , I’m getting close to installing dash. And start wiring.
  23. 1961H67
    I’m not a expert on the C , I talked to some guys at the show in Macungie back in 2000 that built them, they told me about using existing parts, having some made , I think they hand made the hood. Hopefully someone will know a lot more about them . Not sure how many was made or how many are still around, Hennis bought a few, Dad drove this when new . I got a little time this morning to put the Firewall mat in the LJ, got to get me some more retainers and tuck it up tight. And YES, walk in my shop and take your pick of what to work on!
  24. 1961H67
    Well Said!
  25. 1961H67
    Got my Firewall Mat today, hopefully I’ll get a chance in the next couple of days to install it so I can start wiring. Had to take a Detour from the LJ ,, The C Model needs a Water Pump,, There’s NEVER a Day goes by around here that You don’t have Anything to do !
