So what's left to make the chuckwagen drivable?

The big things are brakes and tires.
There is still some small odds and ends to finish. I need to install the gas tank, install the air cleaner, accelertor cable, and some light bulbs. There is no uppolstery or windshields either.


Windshields are over rated!!! I have a windshield for the T34 in a crate, drive it and enjoy the wind, I will send you some cafe racer goggles that work wonders!!!! :hillbilly: :hillbilly:

Head lights are now H4. Running lights are now 12V. Installed headlight and turn signal gaskets. I then rebuilt the tail light assemblys. It took 3 of them to make 2 nice ones. I lined the inside of them with chrome tape to help with reflection. Cheap fix.

I was so embarrassed to ask for it at the parts store. It was like buying rubbers when I was 13.....

'67 only dual circuit master. Never thought I would find one. Came with switches and pressure pots for the drum brakes. I might have to reroute 1 brake line, but haven't looked yet. If I do, it will be super easy. Bus' have a T fitting for the front brakes and the rear brakes. T1 only has a T at the rear. And no need to modify anything else to make it work!!!
