Very nice truck. Really makes me appreciate the beauty of a stock type 2.

What did you use for the paper tube for the back seat heat? Did you find it somewhere? |

Beautiful looking insulation against that pretty Dove Blue paint! I still haven't completed the install of my Neil Pickett set, I've only wrapped the flex tubes to the heater boxes in the rear (I've got a 36hp motor and boxes). I'm going to do a little overkill with the rest and and instead of just laying on my back and sewing those wraps on, I'm going to first wrap the metal tubes tightly with a thin aluminum wrapped bubble sheet insulation, and then wrap and sew the outer insulation wrap over that. It should keep the hot air in the tubing nice and hot into the front and rear cabs on my '59 DC.
Were those bands and clamps easy-enough to install around the cloth insulation? I'm not looking forward to that! Any helpful suggestions/tips?

Thanks Bill, doesn't get that cold here, but probably a good idea. Less painful if you install while still on the rotisserie. Definitely before the front axle is installed. I used spring clips to hold the wrap together once I got it in place so I didn't need to hold and sew. The straps were easy once I figured out how the work. There are little marks on the strap that give you measurements, you have to fold a minimum of two marks over the clamp, pull the band around the duct, and then pull through the turnbuckle. Roll the turnbuckle, and it clamps down. As another described an allen wrench turns it easily. I then trimmed down the tail. I will add some photos of how the bands work to the heater wrap thread.

Need to redo that safety wire on the shift coupler, so it puts a twist tension on the head of the bolt. If that fastener loosens up a fraction of a turn it can make a mess of the shift linkage. BTDT!

Like this one on the right, but left is not so good.

Love your DC - a truly inspirational build.
Where did you get your mirrors please? I bought a pair of the same ones used for my '57 11 window, but one got broken and I can't find a replacement anywhere! Thank you! |

Your Double Cab looks great! I'm going to use your thread as template for mine. I'm in the (slow) process of restoring my '60 Crew. Part of the way through your build you asked if anyone had documented replacing the rear load bed separator. Did you get a response? Did you happen to document it on your build? I have a pretty rusted out panel and I'm trying to figure out what I'm in for.
