Re: 1960 SO-23 A.K.A. Gunther

Finally got the roof rack down from the trusses. Worked on it this past weekend to get it cleaned up and ready for installation. It came out pretty nice … but not too nice, it still looks old and weathered but very functional.

Gunther will have a top hat on like a true gentleman. Now if only it ...

Thanks Bruce! Now I’m considering doing Gunther. That will be a project for next spring though.

Had the truck on the farm last week for Third Thursday. Some minor things need to be addressed, but all saftey lights, flashers seem to be in order.

Got some stuff put back on the bus this weekend. Starting to look like a camper again.

Windows are in, lights installed and some seals are placed. It’s coming along pretty nicely.

Re: 1963 Single Cab - A.K.A. Sanford

I have a few more connections to make to finish up this project I ordered a couple of parts from West Coast Metric that have not come in yet. I got everything together except for the flasher and adding the main fuse. I hope to get the parts and finish this up this weekend.

Re: 1963 Single Cab - A.K.A. Sanford

I’ve been putting in quite a few hours on installing the new electrical harness. I am pretty close to finishing up the project. I removed every component and cleaned all of the connections before making the new ones. I labeled every harness and wire provided so I knew which one went where. The ...

Re: 1963 Single Cab - A.K.A. Sanford

Thanks for sending the informative articles Bruce. I read through the all. I decided to take the lunge and do a complete wiring harness and electrical overhaul on the truck including some upgrades. I ordered a harness from Wolfsburg West. I’ll dig into this project as soon as it gets delivered. Stay ...

Re: 1963 Single Cab - A.K.A. Sanford

I figured I’d try to tackle some of the electrical issues on Sanford this weekend. Like Bruce said there is some funky stuff going on in here. I’m pretty green to this but even I can tell things were funky in some areas.

Here are some of the issues I wanted to try to fix.
No power to the wiper ...

Re: 1960 SO-23 A.K.A. Gunther

Paint is done! Ahead of schedule too. Thanks to Adrian at Mi Casa Body Shop, great work.

Now it’s time to start putting it back together. I’m going to let the paint “cure” for a bit before installing windows etc.
