Shifted gears and decided to clean up the interior. Floors are in beautiful shape! No rust - just surface to keep an eye on or grind and paint.

Funny you say that - just got stuck running a team to Seattle. 24hr loop and slept in the sleeper, no stopping except to use the restroom.Once you get that CDL, never let it go. Drivers are in huge demand and companies are paying crazy money for drivers nowadays. Always a good back up plan if one is needed.
Thanks Matt! I actually just painted that bracket, so the inner threads are clean, but I will keep that in mind! I made sure to use a captured lockwasher only for the screw for that same reason.looks super sharp Nate , and details matter and you have details going on for sure ......
- one detail i noticed is the nicely and sweet powder koated Carb Fan for the spit polished Thermo switch , make sure the female threads are glean and free of powder
kote inside ?
- because the thermo switch relies on a NEG- Ground solid signal to then transmit the OHMS value to the carb Fan Super Computer box under your dash ..
- i used ceramic pep boys exhaust paint on a thermo metal bracket one a while back and it caused a NO needed ground signal issue i chased around for hours ....
hope you find this useful
kindly matt
that part is a mother to source Nate ,
what is the issues with it ?
i have the NOS short versions you can re-build it , new cap , new ball and springs etc .........
Too short unfortunately - I had the same thought.I have these if they can help ?
I know folks that have ran a die down the shaft be below the spring cap

@mattressking just discovered your build thread. Great work. I just bought a carb cooling fan for my gen markets 1976. How is yours mounted on the 78? I Can’t seem to find good photos on the brackets and mounting points.
