That is really sad news about your dad, prayers sent to you and your family.

 

Sorry to hear about your Father. Our Prayers are with you.

 

Sorry to hear man,

 

Sending prayers.

 

Sending you prayers.
Keep your chin up!

 

Val...Thanks a lot!! But I have a set I found on-line. Not sure if they are the correct ones of not? Through a bit of on-line detective work I eventually was able to find a factory part number for those hooks, then track down a NOS set. They sure look like the ones in the pics though.

 

Gotta love the people on this board!

 

TC,

How's the Crew ? I would ask if you were done, but the reality is that we're never done with these trucks....





Hope you and your family are doing well... with your recent loss..

 

The crew is on the road...but still working out some of the bugs. I have tried a few times to update this thread...but I'm usually so tired and emotionally wrung out with looking after my Father....he's still holding on, but in a virtual Morphine coma....He might last a few more days. I just can't find the motivation to update...I will in time though.

 

Sometimes I think cancer is harder on the loved ones than the victims themselves.

 

Man,

I'm really sorry. I was under the impression that he left you already. Hang in there, and put this thread in the backburner. you have more important things to do with your time.


Take care...

 

X2 what NJTman said make sure those last moments count!

 

Good to hear the crew is running and driving, but like the others have said spend your time with your dad.

 

Or better yet, if he's up to it maybe take him for a spin? he may like getting out (if he can) and it will make some memories.

Either way, the truck will be there, enjoy your time with dad.

 

OK time to start catching up on the updates. Will try and get caught up in the next day or two.

OK after I got the roof panels in I needed wanted to install some additional dome lights. Since the dash map light, and the rear dome light above the rear window would not be bright enough. I already had a hole in the passenger side interior A-pillar from a CB radio antenna. So I drilled another corresponding hole on the drivers side.

I then searched and searched on-line looking for the "right" unit to use as additional dome light. I ended up buying some front marker lights for a 53 Chevy...but they were way to big. Then I was digging through some of my full size Chrysler parts and came across a set of courtesy lights from a 66/67 Chrysler.



These were the ones I was looking for. Unfortunately the lenses were yellowing and cracked. But after some digging I found new reproduction lenses!!

Then I bought some small 1" x 1.25" Super bright LED panels to go inside. They are for dome light retrofit, so they come with 3 additional connections.



I then had to figure out how I was going to mount them. I ended up marking, and cutting out some gaskets from my neoprene rubber material.
