Here is a replacement unit to give you an idea of what it looks like when not under the dash. New Replacement Closed-Cab Power Wagon Windshield Regulator - CC797133 – Vintage Power Wagons

I hate when that happens. I started my fall/winter rearrangement as well. Sold some items on FB Marketplace and was doing good then bought some other items. I used to put the 2-wheeled items side by side like you have in the picture. Then tried end to end along the walls. Finally purchased some pallet racketing that I modified for my space to allow stacking those items higher. I also put in a full floor at the ceiling of the shop for additional storage above with big access doors. Bottom line is every time I made some space I filled it. It's in my blood.

Very clean and nicely done. Perfect time of the year in AZ to do some test drives and work out any issues. I worked out west of Goodyear and would take my motorcycle on I-10 to Tempe and man that pavement stays hot all night long in the summer.

Interesting project.

Nice progress. Do the front wheels have enough clearance, so they won't rub when cornering? Car is looking good.

Congrats on the new purchase and future mancave. Shops fill up fast and never seam big enough, good planning and organization now during the build will help make the most of any size shop.

Now that is cool.

I put a 3.54 gear in my truck that has the stock 4-speed. I take off in 2nd now all the time and start in 3rd on occasion. Before with a 4.10 rear gear I started off in 3rd all the time. Tires are 225x70x16. For my set-up I feel a 3.23 would be ideal but want to keep my stock housing so I am content for now. Drove it for years with the 4.10 gear though.

It looks very well cared for and from your discussion details, the person you are acquiring it from sounds like a very conscience's person. Nice find

On my 2010 Ram 1500 I had problems with the front brakes dragging. Things must of been good for short trips around town but a few miles more and I could smell the smell of the hot pads and that is when I noticed the problem. Replaced the pads, spring buffers and fluid, cycled the calipers to confirm they were moving freely, and the problem appeared again. I found out about the inconsistencies with the remanufactured calipers from threads on the internet. The problem with the calipers if your hard parts are in good shape is to replace the single O-ring in these calipers. They are just a few bucks for the kit and easily installed and comes with the new boot. The O-ring is round but it's profile is square. It is the square edges that grasp the piston as it is pushed out and pulls it back. As the corners of the square O-ring wear and round they no long grasp the piston as well. I like the Sil-glide product as well.

I was afraid of that as well. Now by trying to fix one problem you will be creating another. Meaning to clean up the scratches and lines in the cylinder your opening up the bore size to a point your piston has to much clearance all around and you will then have some piston slap and poor ring seal. Best check your bore size and piston size before moving forward to see what cylinder wall clearance you have at this point.

Tragedy, just hope he had insurance to cover some of that loss. Well worth saving. They make plenty of parts for restoring that body style. I had a large ash tree the emerald ash borers took over in the far corner of my property. No danger to the house or anything other than me when I mow the grass. I was able to get the electric company to take it down and haul it away since some power lines were nearby. I still get to look at the big stump though.

Mertz, I sent you the PM. Hope it helps

looks similar to this unit been sitting on the shelf for about 18years. never gave it a try. Someone took the time to install it in a wood box with carry handle. I picked it up at a swap. Glad to see folks still getting these up and running.

Had my seat out today so grabbed some measurements incase you decide to cut an access hole.
