thomastractorsvc Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 I need to tackle some more on the inside but for the most part everything been wiped down and washed at least twice. When I do the sleeper I plan on doing the stacks. I am going to try and polish the tanks but might wait until goes to paint. I am making some new battery box covers, think I will make out of tread plate. Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Thanks guys, have new volt and oil pressure gauge coming the volt gauge showed over charging and would not drop back when no power when I pulled the dash panel the illumination curled off the oil pressure needle so figured since got it out take care of it. I cant decide to mess with the panels and remove everything or wait until after paint to redo them. When I did the R I had to pull everything twice because the painter got sand in the cab and it went everywhere. Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

41chevy Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Look'n good !!!! I love the white steering wheel. Thanks for sharing. White wheels used to be pretty common. Ford, GM, Mopar and a few others ran them . A dark wheel would get to hot to hold when AC wasn't common place. Nice clean up looks entirely different.

b615rich Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Really nice. It will look good with the sleeper. Even if you don't go over the road it's pretty handy. Nice look too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 I also checked the AC and it is fully charged. It has an aftermarket condenser on it now attached to the front of the radiator. The new hood I have has a good one but i don't think I will be hooking it up unless I have problems. Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."
