What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
I sent the Thermoquad 6518 from my '77 B200 Sportsman Royal SE camper to Steven Stills of Edmond, OK for one of his fantastic rebuilds, so while the van is laid up I'm replacing the turn signal switch and the driver's door latch striker post. I got the new striker post from FABO member Famous Bob (thanks, Bob!).
Also, the 6-1/2" speakers in the front doors kept falling out and sounded terrible, so I removed the Sportsman's full interior door panels and noticed that the stereo shop that originally installed the speakers had left their tops completely unsupported, so I drilled and tapped to 10-32 the holes that were used for an interior door panel on the Tradesman van, and cut sheet metal panels to fit. I also built 3/16"-thick mild steel mounting reinforcement rings and will be installing new speakers as soon as they arrive.
