67' longbed build

[1guydude]

And all that for nothing. Went out to start it. Had the fan on and a button with a light was on. Swaped to the old battery that was charged. That was worse.
Ill take the new battery in to charge but kinda downer about this one. We will c.

On a positive note the fan went from high to low and back. I can finish pressure washing the bed since i got some help with the heavy lifting tonight. Uhhhhhh
Edit: i forgot to mention. I found a title in the driver side headliner area from 87'

[Lone Ranger]

Are you pulling the bed off? Any good info on that old title? What was the milage at that time?

[1guydude]

Yeah eventually.im gonna put the truck or get it to my friends and put it on stands and pull the motor for the header bolts. Might as well pull the bed so its easier to work on. I dont wanna fully replace anything if i dont have too. Id like to weld up a bunch of.metal.in the bed so it.looks.frankenstieny. the welds would give.grip to i would think.
Not that the rust and holes dont
Lol
Good.morning have a great end of the weekend everyone! Off to walmart to grab a battery charger.

Hey nice truck I'm working on a 67 lwb myself I have a question for ya the motor mounts have a single stud the goes through the perch could you possibly show or post a picture of the nut and and washer if any that hold the mounts down I wanna make sure I have the right setup on mine.

[1guydude]

@charlie ya i can get those pix. Pretty sure i remember single bolts. Its getting dark here and battery needs charge so i can use flash. Ill get em tonight hopefully.

Pix pix pix.


My big ugly heavy bumper.





The car pusher piece. Both these two items were in the back preventing me from pressure washing. Its upside down in the pic. U can see where it slides in on the 1st page front end pic.of the truck.



I cleaned up that roof a little. 100grit. 70%proof alchol. And some cheap walmart base



Needs a little.more work me thinks

[1guydude]

New crap that dosent work! Yaaaaay



Replaced this. Old one was all rattly like something was loose.



Anyone know whats up with this condensor? Should i replace it? Looks to be old and used...


Also is that the current volt regulator next to the new solenoid or is that the horn relay?

[1guydude]

Lone ranger ill get a pic of that old title. Not much left. Kool but old and crispy.

Bushboy. If u want or need that throttle set up lmk. I looked at the schematics here on the site and that is what its part of.

[1guydude]

I hope this is what u where looking for charlie. I lied about seeing 1 bolt... did u need a pic of under/in that support?

[1guydude]

old man at work today told me to look into my starter and alternator harness. Maybe theres a fuse in my alt link....which is wat HOsilver said. I thought u were saying that was on the battery cables.

[Charlie67f100]

Yeah I need a picture of the underside of the motor mount or what nut or washer holds it down and as for that box next to your silonoid that's a horn relay you can get one from autozone or order one from any of the places like lmc and dennis carpenter but it would be cheaper through autozone. Thanks for the first pictures though

[1guydude]

sorry Charlie. Ill get that this weekend hopefully. Shooting for Friday night and Saturday to work on the truck. Gonna get some 12,000lb jack stands and a new big jack. Hopefully get the tires and hood off. Maybe the bed if I can muster up some muscles for help.

My stuff is all for low pro cars and VWs and such.

Anyone ever heat up header bolts and hit em with something cold to shatter em? That or push em out well they were still hot... I may end up needing new headers after .
Thinking ill buy a new alternator harness and voltage reg wiring to eliminate that.
lots of work to still do! luv the build threads everyone keep at it!

[Charlie67f100]

Hey bud while your at it is need you to check something else for me I've got a heavy gauge back wire with yellow wire right next to it coming of the voltage regulator/alternator wiring harness can you tell me if that's hooked up to the starter silonoid and on what side front or back so I'll know I'm putting the 390 in my truck and hooking her back up and forgot where that wire went to .
