OK Headlamp Rims, Headlamp Rim Seals, Headlamp Rim Seal Clip. Got it all. Evan a headlamp Visor. How is all of this supposed to go to gether?
http://www.chevy.tocmp.com/1947truckshop/47ctsm1234.htm there's a diagram for you. someone more experienced can probably give you a few tips and tricks on installation. jon
Thanks, but that shop manual does not show the clips or the seal or how any of those parts are assembled. I have a hard copy of the book that you sent the link for. I wonder why our favorite parts supplier does not provide instructions with some of the parts that they sell.
ahh, yes. sorry about that. well, i've never taken them apart, but if no one can help you out on this forum, (which would surprise me greatly) then i'll just pull mine apart and snap some photos for you, aight?? aight. jon
Man, that would be above the call of duty. As you say, some one must know and you will not have to do that.
Thank you. That is how I thought it should go but now I will dut the seal to length and get it in. This is good because now sloromon will not have to take his apart.
thank you. i may just pull it apart to see how it goes back together, but at least i can do it at my own pace, eh? jon
Remember the gasket between the headlamp bucket and the fender is important . You acessory visor goes underneath part " C " . Be _GENTLE_ with the trim ring ! they're butt welded right where the screw goes through and will brak if you overtighten them or try to pull it home with the screw...
Hello and thanks again for all of the info. I posted two new pictures of my truck to show how the head lamps turned out. I do have one last question, the flap on the rim seal is supposed to be the part that fits between the retainer ring and the rim, right?
Not sure what you're asking so... Maybe this exploded picture will help http://chevy.tocmp.com/1929_54chevyparts/02/169.HTM
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Here is a PDF file of a drawing that is a section of the area I am trying to understand. This shows how I have installed mine. I have I done the right thing?
Ken, Now that you have shown me the diagram, do you know where a feller could get a 2.721 Spring as shown? You can tell that I am getting down to the nit pickin stuff now. Thanks, Gater
Looks good to me ~ the retaining clips actually lay against the inside of the trim ring wheras in your pic they're leaning out away from it . That PDF thing is cool ! I dunno how you guys do this stuff .
Thanks Nate, and to everyone else. The problem was that all the diagrams that everyone showed me did not have to the level of detail I needed. But I am forever grateful to help. I am not sure of the clip that Tailgator is looking for, but I got all of my stuff here at Chev... I mean Classic Parts. (I may never get used to that) The one thing was no instructions. They do run a very good forum though. The PDF was pretty easy. I started with an auto cad drawing and then created a PDF with soft ware you can buy. There is that money thing again. Most everyone's computer will open a PDF so that is what I used. I could have made a TIF file but the PDF is just as good. Just think of the fellow who bought my truck brand new back in 1954. He would think we were talking in code, or were nuts.
Secret Code Talk Um , er . ah ~ SURE Andy ! I get it now ! (NOT) -Nate (BTW : if your truck was bought new by a typical farmer he'd look and say " Dang it ! I knew I sold it too soon ! "
