I just received one of my parts from Tdaaj (Ted), there was a note from his wife (Bonnie) saying he is dealing with serious health problems. I just wanted the other people waiting for parts from him that there is a good reason for his taking so long. We should all send notes wishing him a quick recovery now that we know one of our own is in need of our moral support, and those of you that live close could maybe stop in and see if you can help in any way.:thumbup:

Megan, If you can wait for a few days for me to get paid, I'll take the head. While you are waiting for me, could you get a quote for shipping to 80013?:cool:

Tom, You received my payment right?

Have any 620 parts in that 800?:cool:

Sent PM

Tom, I think you know I want a set, what's up with the dash insert? you emailed that you had one, but no response after I said I was interested?:confused:

I figured he will eventually, but I'm going in for major back surgery on March 8th, and want to finish the work I've stated before then, as I will be out of commission for about 2 months.:(

Tdaaj, Could you at least give me a time frame?:confused:

Yea!!!! I can hardly wait, I will have the money for my set on the 26th, so send the info and I will pay for my set then. I want that Dash Insert too!:cool:

You have a pm

They are all the same, 721/2 to 79.

It's the plastic piece that the gauges mount in, and covers the heater controls.

Yes that is what I am looking for, I will pay for shipping and your time, as I have to have it to get my truck running before I go in for back surgery on March 8th. The only other vehicles I have for daily transportation are my wife's Jeep and my Jeep which are both too high for a crip to get in and out of.:unsure:

WTB water pump pulley for either a L16 or 18:)

I can't believe no one has suggested L16, L18, L20? Since I am eventually going to do an engine swap I think I would go with the rat & wrenches 1st choice, and Ratsun second choice:D

Anyone have a water pump pulley for a L16 or L18?B)

I guess I'm never going to find a dash insert, so I'm going to have to bight the bullet, and start saving for aftermarket gauges, and build a custom dash face. I really wanted to keep the stock look, but after 3 months of looking with no results, I give up!:(

It's the piece that fits in the middle of the venturie, but never mind, I found it last night. Evidently, for what reason I'll never know, I carried it to my back shop and left it laying on my surround sound receiver.:rolleyes:

On the V8 subject, anyone remember who offered the Chevy V8 conversion kit for the 620 in the 70s?:confused:

I lost the primary booster for my DGEV, anyone have an extra one lying around? What a bummer, got it all spick and spam and started putting it back together with all the new stuff, including the correct jets for our altitude, and can't remember where I put the booster. Getting old sucks! I'm also still looking for a dash insert.:(

I got some more done Saturday and will post photos as soon as I get a chance. I pulled the radiator, and everything off the pass. inner fender, then cleaned the rust and corrosion from the battery area. After that I sprayed all the rusty areas with Eastwood Rust Converter to stop the rust, and scuffed all the paint, then sprayed it all satin black. I will do the drivers side when the weather warms up again, then I can install my aluminum radiator, new hoses. and get it running again. I got some work done on the interior also, finished the floor insulation, and got my Mazda 6 coupe seats installed. They make a very good fit for a KC, the drivers has quite a few adjustments for comfort, and the pass. side automaticly slides forward when you flip the backrest to make it easy to load behind the seats. Both seats have storage pockets on the back side also. The only mistake I made was not finding out what year the car that I got them out of was, so when funds permit, I can order Katskin leather covers for them. The factory cloth is in exellent shape, but real leather smells and feels sooooo good. I also got the cracks in my steering wheel repaired and put it back together. I am planning on gluing on some foam padding, then lacing on a Wheelskin leather cover since you can't replicate the fake wood finish, and I replaced the fake wood shift knob with a leather covered one. Next on the interior will be installing the power door lock units and running the wires so I can put the door panels back on. Then it will be drivable while I do other improvements. I plan to do all the body work, have it in primer, and have the interior finished before I pull everything off the frame to do a air ride conversion, mount the KA and matching trans, and paint the frame. Then paint the cab and bed and reassemble. Boy do I have a lot of work ahead!:blink:

Ask your dad if he has a plastic dash insert (minus the gauges) he is willing to part with please?

If anyone in the Colorado front range area is interested I have a pair of 79 KC buckets for sale, $30 ea. or $50 pair. They are in very good condition, been recovered at some point, but not the stock pattern cloth in the inserts. The only thing wrong with them is they are stained and dirty. When the weather warms up here, I will try and clean them up. The main reason I changed them was I wanted something more comfortable for my bad back.:):cool:

Nice score! I thought I did good getting a set of Yukon 16s for $100.:rolleyes:
