    I must have misunderstood! I thought yours was trashed. Oops.

    I could make a parking brake lever boot. It would be out of waxed canvas. PM me if you’re interested.

    Well, it’s on the list after knuckles, rear springs, paint buffing, cargo sliding window install, etc, etc, etc haha.

    I prefer halogens still. Something about LEDs messes with my eyes. They seem brighter but at the same time my road vision is worse with them. Got some Osrams a while back that I really like that work for me though. Plus there’s snow here and I like that to melt. Anyway, the Amazon page for the...

    What Hella housings are these? I'm ahout to redo the lighting situation on Matilda and was going to go the Koito route again. These photos are making me second guess that however. Same bulb in both??

    They aren’t TOO huge. I think any narrower and you’ll have room to drop stuff beside the hand brake or it won’t be placed right for your elbow. Go 8” with either brand. @77CruiserDog I need to get back to work on my CCOT/Tuffy internal divider system… those things need organization in a bad way.

    Yeah 8” Tuffy. Absolutely huge.

    I think I got mine straight from Tuffy. It’s a caramel color that doesn’t exactly match the interior, but it’s better than the other options. I really don’t know how I drove the truck without one. I also got an extra set of cup holders and attached them to the back for passengers. When you stow...

    The best upholstery. As far as 60s go there’s no competition. Tan/brown all day, all night, all the time. You just need a Tuffy console so you got a place to put that floating elbow!

    What year is your truck? Both of mine are early (82, 83) and I’ve never seen this thing.

    Welcome to the club, it’s a lot of fun. Yours will be a smoother experience than mine since everything is so fresh.

    You must be retired!! That’s a lot of work in 100 days. The thing looks great though man, excellent work.

    Once I get Matilda running I need to do the recall since she’s eligible l. This will be my 2nd rodeo.

    Compared to a modern Cruiser or other “full size” SUV, the 60 is downright compact!

    @77CruiserDog I’m over here with a mini drill-mounted flap wheel doing some exhaust and coolant pipes. Maybe I should just buy this crap.

    @77CruiserDog I had no idea the stem seals were the culprit behind white smoke after idling. My tomato truck did that for about 6 months and the. It completely went away. Gonna catalog that info in my brain somewhere. Great write up too.

    I don’t doubt a larger engine hoist could handle body removal, but the balancing seems like it would be delicate work. And the height. I could see a standard engine hoist lifting the body off a small car no problem, but getting up above a tall cruiser … did you put the engine house on top of...

    Got it - regular 4” cutoff wheel! Do you drop the gas tank, shield it, or just go Mad Max style? I’m considering preemptively doing this for Matilda because the C-channels are just barely starting to buckle, and if I decide to save my tomato truck it will certainly need it. Hence all the...
