    What you see in the photo is what I found. They have a guy there in the fasteners isle named Art who is older than I and a pleasure to work with.

    The new ones? The originals have been rusting great. I thought replacing them all would be one route, but chickened out when I imagined the look of a 67 year old interior with ultra Shiney bolts.

    LOL, I'll have to check with my wife first but I think I know her answer.

    Got the floor boards removed. They're not really boards at all but metal panels with plenty of rust. I'll be trying to patch the cancer areas with fiber bondo then paint with POR. I thought to paint the bolts and washers with a silver Rustoleum, but now I'm not sure I'd like that contrasting color with black floor boards. Notice the replacement bolts and washers from Ace Hardware (and their price). Should I go for the vintage crusty, ah er, "patina" look or paint 'em and make them all uniform. Currently they have been vinegar soaked and Scotchbrite scrubbed. Thoughts?

    Some shrinkage expected? Remember to wash in cold water?

    I may put those in Roxanne, only add some distressed paint effects

    Count lug nuts? My 1/2 ton has 5. How many does yours have?

    How about a D ring in this same spots. I like the $20 hooks, but I ain't gonna pay no $20/hook.
  9. FlashBuddy
    Nice hooks, and cap screws too. Where did you acquire them Reg?

    Shesh. C'mon guys. Pictures?

    Are you using tie down hooks? I see many truck with the basic hardware store bought hooks screwed or bolted onto the truck bed. If I ever use Roxanne as a truck and haul a load that needs tieing down, I'll likely need something to tie off to. I'd like to do something a little more interesting that basic. Something with a clean classic and unobtrusive look to it. Thoughts? Pictures?

    Tom's Engine Barn seems to have good prices, though I haven't shopped around. But why does he post crappy photos? I'm hot for yellow. Tom's pic vs. My pic w minor adjustment. It had to be done.

    That has got to be it. Feels "sprung" when I pull on it. Great video, as they all are, though I get dizzy watching 'em. My gamer son says the nausea goes away after repeated exposure Got to get 'em out, get 'em POR painted and get 'em back in so I can go for a drive.

    Thanks, I can certainly give that a go. I can see a couple of screw or bolts holding the dimmer switch, but other than that it's all unbolted. I will take out the dimmer switch and start gently prying away

    Uh oh. Do top up the fluid will ya?
  16. FlashBuddy
    Your a genius. I've got an extra set and will be stealing your stellar idear, thank you.

    Decided to at least clean up the floorboards after having replaced the speedometer cable. I've got them unbolted and they flex and almost separate but they seem stuck. What am I missing? Refering to #'s 1 and 2 in my photo.

    I had read about the cut and paste method and thought I would use that as a fallback if my hot stretch over the tops of the pedal pads failed. Starting with fresh pliable rubbers recommended.
  19. FlashBuddy
    Bought a couple, from DCM If memory serves. Sorta helps. Quiets down releasing the clutch or brake. After heating in very hot, near boiling water, and wearing gloves, you can actually stretch the things over the tops of the pedals.

    ...and a film can of da kine brah. Hey, I have that same blanket.

    I'm gathering up my floorboards and heading to your place. We're going to get along great!

    Hey @Fiddy B2C, I have the same question. I personally am in love with the passenger side mount, even though I have a fully functioning under bed system. I took a look on Amazon and found several options, but like you would like to see the period correct solutions.
  23. FlashBuddy
    Stand back, my heads is about to explode!
  24. FlashBuddy
    That should clean up real nice.

    I just studied up on mig, looks do-able and would only cost about $500 to get started. Sheesh, now I'll have to bone up on oxy acetelyn. I think I may have done that in high school auto shop once or twice. @Plymouthy Adams, why do you prefer it?
