Anybody know of a source for long carriage bed bolts with wide head?
All the ones I have found have a smaller head.Tony

Biggest I've managed to find locally is only .825" so ~.3" smaller than stockers.Originally posted by bkilbyTony

Yanked all 50+yr old wiring not going to use any of it.
Old 3 on tree manual column is also out and will be replaced with more modern one. Also clutch pedal assembly removed.
Messed with aligning passenger door today.
The doors had obviously been removed and only had a few loose bolts and way out of adjustment.
Driver side can barely open/close but will have to wait until I can move it to a spot that allows opening door far enough to get @ bolts.Last edited by babywag; 02-14-2020, 08:19 PM.Tony

This is good. Very good. I'm really happy to see this happening.
Try Auveco for hardware. They have an absolutely unbelievable selection of oddball automotive stuff. If Auveco doesn't have it, you may have to make friends with a machinist.'85 J20 Old Man Truck, bought @ 65K miles - not great, but better than walking.

Tony, you may want to ring Marshall's Industrial Hardware down on Miramar Road at (858) 271-5555. They might have them and can put some aside for you.Originally posted by babywag1970 1414X Wagoneer "The Pig"

Motor was from an 89, I think they started using smaller ones in 87?
I have lots of random parts in my garage. This truck is gonna be a mutt lol.
Since it has no power anything building a harness will be simple.
The column it's getting is from a 96 roadmaster wagon. I started mocking/fitting it yesterday.
I am also starting to mock up a brake booster and pedal assembly from the 96 roadmaster. Both the column and brake stuff will needs mods to fit, I think they can be made to work.Tony
