    Printed Circuit Question 79 K10

    An easier fix is to use copper foil like they use doing stained glass lamps. The back side is sticky so it is easy to get it to stick to the circuit boar. To completely secure the fix, solder a little spot on each end of the repair.

    Need help with lights

    I thought that all the columns were black but I have to say I never really paid attention. My 74 has a black column and it’s a red truck. As far as the lights are concerned I had it so that if I wiggled the harness different lights work then not work.

    Need help with lights

    It could well be something in the column. However in most of these cases it is a bad ground wire. Start with the towing harness. That was my problem. It’s hanging there under the bed and is subject to every piece of crap you see. I see you are in Florida, you have the added problem of salt air...

    Can anybody help ID this old cabinet ??

    I believe that it was a medication cart or bandaging cart. Probably GOV Surplus from the VA. Possibly an IV cart due to the hole in the upper side.

    What was the original color?

    Does it look like it might have been this color. 1974, they call it red but it looks Orange to everyone.

    Is there any hope for these tools?

    I’ve had good luck with evapo rust. It really helps on those really crusty pieces. Then wire brush with a dremel and then even polishing with the dremel, compound and buffing wheels.

    Headliner install in no-factory-headliner cab?

    Currently installing one in my 74 from Brothers trucks. This one is molded to mount 4 4 inch speakers. I upgraded the speakers since they were only rated at 10 watts. At the front there is a space for a single din radio mount. I bought a single din radio that has a drop down screen. It gives you...

    Heated & Cooled power leather seats

    Great post and information. I too have a screwed back, 3 fusions so far and 2 more coming for Christmas. I have beautiful original seats. But we all know how rough these trucks ride. They were farm trucks after all. So I need to install new seats. I have a 2019 Blazer with leather heated and...
