mattb73lt 824 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Yes, both are used to make the paint sprayable. The reducer is temperature sensitive in three heat ranges. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post mattb73lt 824 Posted January 13 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 13 (edited) Nice greasy pile if spaghetti!! I saved the old harness when I took the cab apart. Figured I’d use it as a template when the time came. Chased out all the wires from what I had tagged a while back and labeled everything I could identify. Also, to become familiar with the wiring system when the time came. Broke out the new harness, that I bought way back in 2006(!!!). From what I see, the only big difference is the spacing between the instrument cluster and the circuit breaker panel. Standard B’s it’s further to the right in the glove box. L’s have it in the center of the dash, so they’re a little shorter and I’ll have to route the new harness around to use up the excess. The only other issues are that there’ll be no series parallel switch and to modify it for an alternator. I added another pic with the new harness tagged out. The wires are numbered from the maker, but I like chasing the wires to prove out the numbering and I find it makes the installation easier, with less errors.

mrsmackpaul 2,417 Posted Thursday at 10:06 AM Share Posted Thursday at 10:06 AM You can buy a new harness ? I am stunned at that, thats fantastic stuff Paul 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattb73lt 824 Posted Thursday at 05:09 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 05:09 PM Yes, you can still get them. They are unbelievably expensive, now. I've seen them for around $2400!!! For that, I would buy the supplies and make my own or buy a modern one for a hot rod and make it work. I bought this one back in 2006, when I thought I was going to start the restoration. They were much less expensive, then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h67st 1,169 Posted Thursday at 11:31 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:31 PM Those new wires look so clean and nice! I see you put down a piece of carpet to make them more comfortable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattb73lt 824 Posted Friday at 02:39 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 02:39 AM I was trying to keep them clean, after working on the other filthy harness. I wore rubber gloves so my hands wouldn't turn black, it was that grimy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattb73lt 824 Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago A batch of black for the cab, yesterday. Mostly floor parts. A small batch of red, today. That should finish ALL the cab painting. Parts are rolling in and still a bunch of hardware to source. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattb73lt 824 Posted 21 minutes ago Author Share Posted 21 minutes ago Last batch of red for the cab and a whole bunch of assembly to get done. My motivation is really picking up as this is looking so good and at times it seemed as if this would never come. Plus, I can't believe this page is now 19 pages long and over five years old!!
