Builds SW20s 1979 revival (1 Viewer)

[SW20]

I have to clean up the engine bay a bit, the 40 has a nice layer of dust on it. But it runs, and runs smooth.

Planning on putting together the windshield wiper linkage and motor this weekend. Also got some new 33x10.5 tires to mount onto the 40.

Did you paint or powdercoat the valve cover? What color did you use?

Powder Coat. @65swb45 had it done when it was at his shop.

It looks awesome. Keep the updates coming.

65swb45 did you have to use a high temp powdercoat when doing the valve cover?

I remember Mark bringing out 3 sample colors, I just picked what was pleasing to me. I don't remember the color code.

Thanks Dave! You know it was the work I did on YOUR truck that hooked Scott on me in the first place.

Can we expect an update on your build?

He said a month ago he was going to lay everything out to make sure we had everything and the next week they would shoot it. Still waiting and of course it's SEMA week so?
Started lurking around last night and found this thread. I'm going to have to rattle the cage again!

My windshield has the washer nozzle on the top of the frame. My understanding is that the metal tube inside the frame gets rusted. I used an air hose to blow air through it and there was plenty of flow, but decided to go a different route. @ToyotaMatt sent me some Toyota windshield wiper lines along with some other goodies. With plenty of hose to use, I routed the new line in the windshield frame and bypassed the metal one all together.

At this point it is time to put on the new windshield spacer/seal from @Racer65. Finally the windshield is on!

This truck is really nice. For sure.

But Cooper really made my day! Congrats!

At this point, I need to address the plastic liner that was on the 40 when I purchased it. It had been sitting in the sun, faded, but in good physical shape. Took the seats off, used some soap and water and scrubbed it down. Sprayed some conditioner on it and let it soak and air dry.

 

[SW20]

At this point, I am not sure what to do with the seats. Restore the old ones, or putting on some different seats. My neighbor was moving and sold me a set of BMW 1 series seats. He purchased a BMW 1 series a few years back and turned it into a race car, he pulled the seats a couple days after he bought the BMW new. I could't pass on them.

Those are NICE! You would really enjoy those.

And your truck will indeed handle better too!
