Default What kind of switch.......

Nice job Jordan.

what kind of switch are you looking for???\

On the rear window sliders... I believe that Phil Waterman made some for his trucks and it's documented on his site.

Cheers

Hi Bob. Thanks for the compliments. I'm just loving the fact that I'm enjoying this rebuild and pushing myself with a number of new to me skills.

It's not the switch that I'm looking for. It's the small data plate that mounts between the toggle and the frame. The plate is the same as found on the pat11/12 cab trucks for all toggle switches. However this one says "MAP/ON/OFF". I know the other plates have been reproduced but I'm not sure if the map one has.

Default Ask Brian A.

Got my switch plates from him...... never seen one for a map light...... maybe a simple on/off plate if it is in close proximity to the light.

Not much to report other then picked up a small item today. I have been gathering parts for a couple of the dome lamps that will be fitted in the rear of the truck. I was able to get an NOS one at the last show and Im now in the process of making one more that I needed. I had a grill already but it was missing the milky white glass lens. Luckily Mac's Antique Auto Parts sells this very same lens. I was also in need of the orignal heavy duty ark less push/pull switches. A search on Ebay found me two identical switches for $10 each. Im always amazed at what is still available or is currently being made for regular vintage civilian vehicles.

Two fuel tanks all wire wheeled. The one tank has the tank liner all poured in. Tomorrows plan is to acid wash the inside of the other tank and then pour the liner in. Once that is done the outsides will get the POR15 treatment.

Lots of work was accomplished over the past few days. The fuel tanks were both sprayed with POR15, then given a coat of tiecote primer and finally a coat of SCC2. Then installed on the frame. For the tank strap/pads I used the anti-sqeak material from Mac's. Hopefully these tanks will last a lifetime.
