I was hoping to have had the interior stripped and sanded by now. It rained all weekend and I had to work on the Jeep. I rear ended a lady a couple of weeks ago <insert joke here>. It only messed up my front bumper and bent a small bar that protects the electronic swaybar disconnect. I spent last week installing an awesome new bumper and repaired the bent bar. You can see the bar under the bumper (before I straightened it). I have a 2nd piece to the new bumper that is a skid plate that mounts under there that still needs installed.
It rained all weekend and I want to work on it outside instead of being cooped up in the garage. I left the Slick outside Saturday night and it POURED down rain. I went out yesterday and opened the driver's door and now I see why I have a surface rust spot. Water just poured out of the interior and was pooled at that spot. Ordering new door seals today.
Hey BigMike just be aware water pooled there may not be a door weather strip problem. May be from an ill fitting windshield gasket or from the front air intake cowl infront of the windshield.

I own a 65 F100 4x4 it has both style of vents in it. On the drivers side is an oblong shaped vent. On the passanger side is the typical 65-66 kind of triangle shaped vent that is a manual opening vent.

you know that's funny!, the oblong one is on my drivers side and the triangle one is on the passengers side!, so it make you ask! what is standard for a 65/66?
Honey, If I say I`ll fix something I will, there`s no need to remind me every 6 months!!

Maybe it makes a difference in which assembly plant the truck was put together at. Possibly if it was a special order or standard cab or custom cab. My 65 is 4 wheel drive so the cab looks a little like my 63 that has 2 oblong vents with pull cables. So my 65 cab is like a blend of both those years as in maybe a retool so that triangle kick on the passanger side was the only one that was available at that plant. We probably will never know as I have read on the other web page that ford destroyed most of their records for 65.
Hey BigMike looks like my 65 had the same seat upolstery design on the seat.
Mines a little more worse for wear than yours. The only thing I will save from this seat is the gear and lightning bolt that is embosed in the seat back.

There are drain holes into the cowl just under the wiper bezels. If you do not keep these clean you will have a wet floor when it rains or even washing the truck.
That's a good looking Jeep!
When you going to upgrade to an XJ?

Another weekend goes by and no work done on the Slick.
I went out to the garage on Sunday to finish the tear down on the interior. Since I can't even open the passenger door with it parked normally in the garage, I pulled it in at an angle. I soon realized that if the heater assembly (and antifreeze) was removed, the pedals and steering column, I wouldn't be able to move the truck until I'm done. Well not easily.
I'm going to start on it the weekend we get back from AZ. I've already informed the wife that Stella will have sole possession of the garage for about a month.
But I am dropping the seat off to be reupholstered tomorrow. I'm going to tell them to take their time since I won't need it for a while. But I'll bet it will be ready by Friday anyway.
Mike,"take your time!", That's the single worst thing you can say to any repair place!, I told a motor shop that once!, and they took 18 months to rebuild a 8ba flathead!, They even said! it wont seem the same place without that on the bench!

I dropped the seat off at the upholster shop yesterday. They are doing an exact match on the turquoise vinyl. The seat will be a channel stick with a wide strip down the middle and sides. The "inside" channels will be a lighter aqua color. It should look pretty good. They asked me when I needed it and I told the 2 weeks would be fine.
Tomorrow morning I removing the heater, steering column, and pedals from the interior. Not sure if I'll paint of powder coat the pedals.
By Sunday night my plan is to have the inside stripped and sanded. If I get to primer, it will be a miracle. Supposed to be a gorgeous weekend and the Harley is calling out to be ridden.
When I remove the heater, I plan to have the heater valve shut, remove the hoses from the firewall and use a piece of pipe to clamp them together.
