looks real good ron ! do you have any thoughts on fabbing a steering column ? i see you have a quick release setup on yours. i was thinking on the line of 1 3/4 tube[or so] for the jacket and 3/4 or 1" for the shaft. what did you use for bearings ?






I used a lower bearing from a dakota column I had here for the top and a bearing from some other mopar column I had laying around for the bottom and a piece of tubing from something else and made them all work Ron...

got a little work done this week and got some neat stuff at the Big 3 swap meet last weekend

I mounted the shifter and cable and cut out the dash for the gauge panel.
and picked up some new VDO gauges (volt, water and oil) at the swap meet.

but the GREAT buy was I picked up 4 quarts of house of Kolor Tangelo orange pearl,
that is the color I really wanted to do this truck but it was going up in price so fast I thought I would have to pass on it.

it goes for like $90.00 a quart now
I got mine for $65.00 a quart and no tax
so $260.00 for a gallon is not bad.

here are some pics.







this is the color,this is the can of left over paint from the 63 wagon.



Oh and I picked up this scoop for $25.00

good score ron ! glad to see progress ! what do you think about the hex style of quick connect steering couplers as to the spline type ? i got 2 disconnects in the hex stlye, but ? also, what is your column diameter ? i'm making my column, but i am incorporating tilt/tele too.

A lot of great scores at the swap meet Ron!
Does the orange require a white base under it?
So glad to see you back to work on this truck!

Eric, the column is 1 1/2" it is what I had around here and the bearings were from some other columns I had, as far as the quick release hex goes, that is what the off road shop here had and so far it seams to work OK, I never had a splined one.

mark, I will use white sealer as a base for the orange but I have shot it over buff polyprime and it looked OK as well.

Thanks Mark I think so too.

got a little more done now
got the gauges mounted and the shifter is all working now.

i trimmed and fitted the grill material(58 ford) and resined in some studs to mount it so that is now off the list.
and I have been working on a rear pan, I will get some pictures later tonight... Ron...

got most of the rear rolled pan finished,
I made it strong and part of the bed so when the bed is removed it can set on the license plate area and the front of the bed and then the fenders wont touch the ground
