Old school Maglite / Magcharger flashlight and installation
picsThis is one of the more unique lantern lights I have. This one is a 6 v block kind, not the big 6 volt ones. But different none the less. This light has a "sealed beam" bulb. That's not rust on the bottom just chipped off paint. I think this is '60's. I try to stay in the '50's and... -
Old school Maglite / Magcharger flashlight and installation
@SirRobyn0, Yeah, I have a collection of those old 6v lantern lights myself. I'd like to use one but the only place those 6 volt batteries, with the threaded screw knobs on top to attach the battery wires, is at one hardware store in town except they cost, well since all these prices have gone... -

Finished sculpted broken out piece
And finally.Dang, it's still blurred, but you can see in this little different angle it's thinner than the full piece is thick.In the above picture here's how it fit's into the "pocket" on the back of the lower trim piece. This is how the back of the lower trim piece looks with that little... -
Finished sculpted broken out piece
The last pics of the fit up of the shaped piece.In the above picture here's how it fits now. I still think I need to shave the lip a little bit of the turned down front end of the piece. It's still a bit to wide.In the above picture you'll notice that the plastic is thinner here, and there is... -
Finished sculpted broken out piece
Next pics.This is the initial shape.Comparing the shapes together in the above picture. I don't know where that damaged in the crook of the "foot" came from, nor what it is. It might be some stuck on melted plastic left over from cutting. I know the back of this piece is clean and undamaged... -
Finished sculpted broken out piece
I finished shaping the broken out piece today. Now I'm ready to glue it in.The above piece is what I started out with. This roughed out cut was carefully shaped and after repeated fitting I ended up with the piece I needed to put into the instrument panel.This above pic is the final shape that... -

Old school Maglite / Magcharger flashlight and installation
@SirRobyn0, I'm not trying to hijack your thread, but I thought you'd be interested in that 1949 flashlight. It's a 2-D. You can see the chrome is worn off the bottom cap and it looks copper. So I may be wrong about it being a brass bodied flashlight and it's actually copper!Dang, it's... -
Old school Maglite / Magcharger flashlight and installation
@SirRobyn0, I'm into flashlights to and have been since the late '70's when I discovered Maglites and went to work for the airlines. I had a "C" size Maglite because it was light and bright. I used it for years and had the scabbard for it to that went on my belt, it had a leather loop on it... -

DIY Junkyard Wiper Motor and Intermittent Module Retrofit/Upgrade
@Rustybucket73, I apologize and I know this is off topic, but in the first pictures, there is that fabric light strip thing above the, now new wiper switch. Also, is that ground wire part of it. My truck used to have that to but I removed it intact and would like to put it back in if I could...- Raider L

Recommendations For Original/After Market Parts Companies
A lot of parts slowly transitioned between '72, '73, and '74. But after that the parts were different and wouldn't fit from a '72 to say, a '75 or '76. But a lot of parts that were on a '72 were on a '73, and a little less in '74 but were the same part found on a '72. Oooh but try to wrench... -
Recommendations For Original/After Market Parts Companies
@Frankenchevy, Yeah I know. A lot of people do. But in dealing with parts places in the past where the place did carry parts for my year truck but they didn't have a particular part I needed. But they did carry that exact same part for a '72. But when I asked them to let me have that part... -
LMC Headliner question
@midwest, And place the headliner so that it's where it fits up on those visor holes, but in position where everything else is lined up. That way you'll see how much and where you need to open up those holes. Otherwise if you just open the hole up and then put it up there, then you see where... -
LMC Headliner question
@midwest, Yeah, I see what you are indicating. It does look like they didn't cut it out enough. What is the actual size of the triangle of your visor? Place the 1" on centerline of the screw hole. It looks like you are a little off on your measurement, but none the less the LMC part is... -
What is the sticker in the glove compartment?
@squarelyfe @Keith Seymore, I compared mine to yours, and I'll be dang that's exactly what it is, a slide in camper info. sticker. So why are there the differences, like mine says 73 inches. What does that mean, 73 in.? 73 in. for what? and why the different weights? Like yours... -
Recommendations For Original/After Market Parts Companies
You just might try Year One. I know they have parts for cars of different makes, but one window roller for a car may fit a truck or was used on a truck. If you can get someone whose been there awhile and knows the inventory they might be able to help you find something that works, if they... -
LMC truck has the wrong window regulator rollers....
@OldBlueDually, I think "Classic Trucks" may have these. Or it could be "Ecklers". It might be "Classic Industries". Now that you have the three of these it has to be one of them because I've seen them in their catalog(s). I hope it doesn't turn out that there's one source and they all buy... -

making the broken out piece
@Goldie Driver, Yeah you are right about them being prepared. I just don't understand things like that. I'm just not criminal minded and never have been. And I don't see why people do stuff like that. I'm not naive, but dang man, at some point I expect people to wake the heck up. But with... -
making the broken out piece
@Goldie Driver, Yeah, but how did they get into his truck? You say he was at work so I suppose he left the door unlocked? It was in the parking lot? A minute and a half, sounds like pros. Because ordinary thieves looking for targets of opportunity, an unlocked door, someone left the keys in... -
making the broken out piece
@Goldie Driver, D-A-N-G!! I wonder if the thieves used one of those dent pullers to jerk the key part out of the column? You know like you see on TV, where it takes the guy like two seconds to jerk the thing out and he sticks a screw driver in there and cranks the vehicle. Also, I know the... -
making the broken out piece
@CRM, Thank you, but that's not the part that's broken, I have that part, it's the lower part of the instrument panel that mates up to that part you're showing, that got broke. I just wasn't paying attention, and may have been so upset about my truck being broken into that I just thought... -
making the broken out piece
@Goldie Driver, How'd you like my idea of using different size cans to find the right curve shape? That just popped in my head. It came to me when I was carrying the math I had done back to the shop. I was walking through the carport and happened to look down at one of those #10 cans I use...
