Replaced the exhaust/intake gasket with a Remflex gasket. While I had everything off, painted the intake and exhaust manifold. Replaced all the studs except the ones that bind the exhaust pipe to the manifold, which one snaped off. Still assessing how to fix that snafu. View attachment 2304214
Drained and filled the front and rear axles. It's apparent that I am going to need to go through the rear due to some chunky bits that was attached to the drain plug.

Burnt my finger tip testing the cigarette lightet
Matt,
These were pop riveted on? Mine is currently affixed with sheet metal screws and would rip my (or my wife's) skin reaching in, if not careful.
Great to know. I'll use good aluminum pop rivets.
Thanks once again!
Thanks!
I don't think these are being made. I like the look of the old knobs, but it seems they were all different. So I figured I'm going to make a matching set. I also have a ROOM knob in the making which would activate internal cab lighting. I believe the mid 60s 45lvs had the room knob.
You might say I have an issue with knobs...
These didn't make the cut...

looks like your next project is to replace the side cover gasket …...New GR starter. Soo much better than the crusty old direct drive. Keeping the old one for spares.

Is personally VERY inspirational and motivating
For me ...
I simply love your concept visionary approach to your interpretation. Of what could
Have been and what indeed was ...

i saw this post right after you hit it ...
So , I hit The “Skunk-Works Lab “. Beneath my shop and became engrossed in a all night marathon
To. Make some needed head way on my various
Special custom Taylored knob and switch restore
Orders I have going on ....
here for your review , my Greek Phrend ..

Bursting is my SEMA type theme Kustom prototype
And might just be my vision and my answer
To the current extremely outdated and dreary dismal analog FOG switch knob commonly
Available that everyone is familiar with
that old outdated fog text font logo was intruduced
All the way back in 1972 , perhaps earlier maybe ?
it’s time for a 1985-Later 40 series update of what could and should have been in my opinion , in my personal . TEq world ......

Thank you for your kind words...
My FOG and ROOM 3d prints need to be redone. Trying to make these is a super finicky job. The molds are very susceptible to damage around the letters and ribs.
So I'm back at it. My keyboard area looks a lot like yours...
Good day!
