A couple things come to mind, one would be a piece of conveyor belting, the other would be a piece from a heavy mud flap from a semi, of course both would have to be cut and drilled to replace the rubber.shipwrecked wrote:How can I get new tire material type straps like this?

Like Danny said that is a ballast resistor for your ignition system, if you converted your distributor to electronic ignition you do not need it anymore (unless the instructions say to use it), it's purpose originally was to reduce the voltage the points were breaking from 12v to around 10v making the points last longer with less pitting, of course if you are going back with the original points system you will want to reuse or replace it.shipwrecked wrote:And 2nd, What is that white bar electrical device?

I had a plumber out today to do work on the hot water system. They pulled the dip tube (inlet) and replaced it because there was a giant hole. So I would get half a tank of hot water before it was ice cold.
So, according to the landlord, there were other contractors who were supposed to be here today to get quotes. A window dude and a painter. Neither showed. So- I’m not an idiot. I suspect she did not actually call them and set up this meeting. I was here all day and nothing!
I took a day of vacation for this! My time is not free for her.
Anyway.
Found my new warranty plate.
Installed finally.
Question: 2 actually.

I grouped tools, shipping, shop supplies etc into this build. Like anything associated with the truck. That’s why it seems high. I can always use these tools and other items on another build but to initiate the build I had to spend money. Plus, I tend to do things more than once if I don’t like the initial outcome.... painted some pieces a few times, so that takes money in more Supplies. You’ll be fine!ohmthis wrote:April, congratulations on the house! Now you another project to work on, LOL! The truck is looking good. Your investment is scary high to me. I haven't really started on my truck yet and I had a figurative budget of $8000. That is for body metal/work, a new IFS, engine, 5 speed, interior, paint, and wheels/tires. Once my house is done, I'll have a sit down honest budget meeting.
