We're living in parallel worlds on opposite coasts. Aside from my 50 Dodge Meadowbrook similar to your shoebox, my other current project is a red 65 F-250 complete with wire nuts, bare wire, and reused extension cords. And I'm forever coaching my assistants on tailgate technique as well.
I had a similar proplem with my bench seat. I had to fix the torn and foam "sink hole" on mine. I took the stock very torn vinyl seat cover off the bottom of the seat and cut up a pair of old 👖 jeans to fill in the missing part of the vinyl and sewed it together running it thru a sewing machine. I cut out some seat foam and stuffed a memory foam pillow in there. Put the vinyl Seat cover back on and ta--da! Fixed at no cost...now on very cold mornings the memory pillow in the seat is stiff until the interior Warms up then you feel yourself sinking into the seat.
@@madgingercustoms thanks. I'm a fix-it for free/on the cheap MacGyver mechanic. My bench seat fix was temporary cause I prefer seats with headrests. I got some kirkey aluminum racing seats to install. Way safer w/ headrests. Waaay Lighter. More interior room. And I need racing seat belts. These old trucks need this level of safety cause they don't have Barley at all compared to modern cars.
I had a 64 great truck , except for the generator and regulator , they were always a pain !! If i had it now id put in one of those 1 wire alternators that have a built in regulator , put one on my old massy tractor , works great . Nice job guys 😊 also had the 292 , got over 300,000 on it before i traded it off on a 72 , got more on the trade than i paid for it !!!! 😊
Seat cover looks pretty good guys. Jess is keeping score in her mind how many times you give her grief. She is likely plotting to put a pillow over your head one night while you sleep. I’ve been married 48 years ( yes to the same gal ) and I’m surprised that I’ve survived this long. Better be careful lol. Enjoy your content and Jess your a champ.👍👍🇨🇦
You can use a steamer or heat gun to 'fluff' the foam where it has a depressed area that lost the elasticity. Upholstery Tips on UA-cam [done by the owner of MECA Upholstery in SoCal] has a couple great videos on using a steamer or heat gun and tons of other videos many great tips on fixing or making custom auto interiors. Looks like the dual master cylinder which you used to replace the old, single master has a larger bowl at the firewall, which is the type for front disk brakes. I tried the same on a 1965 Mustang with front drums and found that those disk brake master cylinders won't work. I could stand on the brake pedal with both feet and still take forever to stop cuz only the rear drums were doing all the work. Disk brake calipers need different fluid volume compared with drum brake wheel cylinders, and master cyl internal plunger for disk brakes won't feed the drum brake front wheel cylinders properly. The new master you've got is the 1967 Ford type for drum brakes all around. The visual give-away on the master cyl is the front and rear bowl/cover are both the same size on vehicles with drum brakes all around. In the same respect, welding in a whole new front chassis on an old vehicle that puts front disk brakes where it had drums needs the master cylinder swapped to have the big bowl at firewall (for front discs) and small bowl for rear drums. Disc brakes all around is another animal entirely.
Seeing your his daughter, kind of limits some funny things so if I kinda hit some wrong buttons, forgive me please. I am a seventy three year old mechanic, raised five daughters (triplets bumped this number) and of course I am similar to your dad in many ways. I did heavy equipment till too crippled and then my son came down with cancer so we moved to the city. Anchorage Ak. My daughters talk like their dad and so its not one sided. I assume you take good care of your crack but your dad does touch a few comments that bring out my worst in me. Your a lovely girl, like my wife who loved the stretch pants. She was sanse underware as always, wearing this apparel, we were in walmart and shopping with me not paying attention to her as we were always together. Her crotch gave out, with out her knowing it and she is getting looks from several guys who are smiling wide so when she turned to ask me something I noticed it too. I was tempted to not say anything as she is and always will be a exabitionist. Being caught did not faze her at all... I did tell her and her response is "damage done, pulled her blouse looser over herself and continued shopping. It did make for some great stories, not to mention some crazy love making at home as her motor was on over drive when we got home. To her it was a great experience and did not do it again as far as I know. We divorced because of my damn job taking me away from home too much. I must say in fairness, I was earning a six figure income and that started with a seven. I gave her show horses, show barns, fancy saddles from mexico with more silver than a bank holds in change on old currency days... she has married seven more times, and each time ask me to take her back but I just don't share my girl with anyone regardless of drugs or alcohol.... we were doing a bit of it too. We were sixties kids and got married when she turned sixteen and me ... I was seventeen. I got drafted about five months later and things were rough coming home to kids that were born after I left for Nam. I accepted those kids as mine and no one went short for pork chops. In the start of our lives, we were dirt poor, but my ability to make money hasn't ever been a challenge to me. I am poor now cause the doctors who patched me back together the last time took it all. Well that and a crooked lawyer who was a millionaire after he handled my affairs. I sure hope that you used some kind of never seize on the bolts in those seat bolts as they just seem to find rust. This is a clean truck for its age. I sowed canvas over the edge of the blankets I used to keep from it tearing out from the threads. I have done cheap restorations and done some hundred thousand dollar restro's. My first impression of high dollar resto's are nice to look at but who can drive it when someone will hit it or you fall asleep maybe... happens when you work seven days a week and twenty hours a day and not easy peezy work. Putting heads on big cat engines is not for the faint of heart. One little thing I noticed in this video was the brake light tee was on the back side of the master cylinder in the first part and on the front of the master cylinder when you finished it up. I think if not mistaken, it can affect things since you try to keep stuff right for the front and back side of the brakes. A short thing here about me is I am a native man whos butt is white as rice but my home town knew I was a native and I was not allowed in their white schools so no education.. zerro, self taught. I spent five million trying to keep my son alive an it gets real hard to work like i did at the age of fifty seven when he passed on in only twenty months. Yeah I have seen some sh*t in my life but no more than any man can handle. I got hurt when I caught a man who fell from his roof and I caught him. It tore his tee shirt pocket and me, broke my neck in a few places but the lumbar was jelly.... crushed beyond repair so they say and doctors did their best to make tic tac do marks on me so there is that... I have not walked since or been able to walk since. I was in the army olympics and was rather a large kid that had to detrain for a long long time to be able to even hold a cup in my hands without crushing it. Not really big, two forty and six foot with a thirty four inch waist line. Size eighteen shirt color and fifty six inch shoulders I wore triple x shirts and tore the backs out if I was to stretch a little. Don't ever do that to yourself.... be happy with your size. this goes for women as I have seen some that to me are just ... you can fill in the blanks. I would also like to say that I never remarried, I still love her only... just not in love anymore if that makes sense. She is the mother of my kids who when I never took her back after her many marriages, no longer speak to me and we haven't seen each other now for over thirty years. I used to send money and gifts to them but in the last ten... I just quit that too as they don't even send a thank you but they did cash the checks. When my wife and I parted, I was worth a little over two million dollars and had a large trucking company. I also owned a helicopter logging company and I will tell you that its a murder job trying to run large companies. I gave her everything including all of the money but for a thousand dollars I put in my pocket and went to alaska to never return... if I had seen her with someone else it would break my heart not to mention my temper was not ever the greatest. I have mellowed some but still to this day if someone challenges me, we get froggy in a instant. I don't recall ever losing any fights but lawyers and courtroom did teach me to walk away from any troubles. I won't walk very far tho. Just cause I can't walk mean that I am weak or afraid of anything. I spent more time in jail running my company for a bit that it was getting to the point they would give me my old cell and a phone for twenty four hour work. It was restful but expensive and the girl i married was not a faithful girl. I did try to ignore it for a long time but you can only take so much. I have never been with another woman since, no I did not join the adam and steve club. I guess I am the dumb one but thats just me
You are, by far, my favorite commenter..... Ever. Thanks for sharing. Jess is my wife. I'm 46 and she's 45. We've been together for 29 years. She looks young because she is a vampire and we've come to grips with her thirst! Thanks for sharing the best comment ever on UA-cam!
@@madgingercustoms I can believe this and feel much better about how far I have went over the line. Your lady is quite attractive, like my own lady still is, she is just a year younger than myself yet passes for in her fifties now. When she took our oldest daughter out for her twenty first birthday drink, our daughter was not carded but they would not serve my wife and asked her to leave if she could not come up with ID. She took it out to show them and their jaws dropped, she got the same treatment as daughter and could not buy a drink that night.... I poured both into bed that night when some people brought them home after closing time.. I never questioned either of their time at the bar as it seemed too hurtful for me to know. thank you for the complements
You used the wrong tape. You need the red or green tape that they use on the school bus seats! And it has to be curled up on the edge with some nasty gum in it.
You must be a Veteran. You and your wife could be my wife and eyes body doubles if we were making movies. Your a bit nicer with the language than us although I suspect that’s far as seen n UA-cam version
I watch videos about older model cars and truck restoration repairs, and preservation. Fewer disrespecting remarks embarrassing your wife would be appreciated. Stick to content concerning vehicles.
She's got a great seat!
💯
I had a 64 liked that I loved the door pockets I see you have them to mine had a six in it the cover looks good.
Thank you!
Looks good . Nice to have the wife help. Lucky man.
Thanks! I love helping out and this is my truck! ❤️
Jess really helped ! And now she has a really great seat ! As if she already had one. Well done Jess. You’re a great team.

Seat looks great - great vid!
I read Jimmy Duncil‘s comment after posting mine… Sorry in advance, Jimmy.
I agree! And don't worry about his comment..... No one is embarrassed here!
I had a 64 great truck , except for the generator and regulator , they were always a pain !!

Good.job 👍👍👏👏😃cool

You're quite the comedy, Duo. Almost remind me of abbott and castello
We do what we can to entertain!
Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Live in New York State.
It's the bend you overstate.
Jess's laugh leads me to believe that she's used to your sense of humor.
We've been together for 29 years! 😉
the only thing missing is the gun rack.
We actually have one, an original Winchester brand new in the box!
@@MadGingerJess it's useless ln a box.
The only thing you need for it to be correct is for it to be comfortable sitting on it.
Exactly!
I'd love to have an original reupholstered
She has requested that as well
Nice wrench attachment lol.
I think you're video is alsome I love older truck's
Well we have a few of these! Lol
I no that hurt to cut a inch off your ride 😂 lol
Why did you just remove the back of the seat from the bottom? There is only 2 bolts to remove.
I honestly hadn't even thought to do that!
To solve your carburetor problems have you ever thought of an efi carb, It might be worth your while
That would be nice but I think it will be fine after we fix the vacuum leaks from the intake.
OMG, you soooo married up !, shes such a hottie.
You're not kidding!!! Lol
Amazon sells affordable wiring harnesses
I think we're going to order one for our 1950 Ford Shoebox first and see how that goes!
Nothing worse than a big crack Jess is a gem listen to a woman their never wrong remember

You used the wrong tape. You need the red or green tape that they use on the school bus seats! And it has to be curled up on the edge with some nasty gum in it.
Lol they always did have that "almost" matching tape!!
Oh this brought me back to the days of riding the school bus!
Is Jess going to start her own channel
We've discussed it. You can subscribe to her actually right now. Check her out Mad Ginger Jess on UA-cam. We may throw some videos up.
