Where did you find a body lift? Will it work on a 3/4 ton?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Finally got my clutch pedal assembly to work right on my 62, now if it'll only last I might be able to replace the clutch, bleed the brakes and work on the heater fan assembly, I could be driving it!

The foot of snow on the cab and foot and a half above the bed rails adds weight for traction. If only it wasn't supposed to be -18 tonight...... :(

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Weather was nice here today so I took it out for a little ride. Been in the barn since December.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

put in new power steering hoses & pump . thermostat. upper radiator hose. and drove the hell out of it for the first time in a while :sexy: :sexy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Sadly nothing today...but I did get to do quite a bit of research into doing a disc brake conversion for my 66, as well as compile a list of parts I need to order. I'm going to pick up my donor parts from my storage unit tomorrow, break them apart, and start cleaning them up.

the good idea fairy also paid me a visit today...and I figured out how I can have a bed mounted tool box in a stepside bed. The bed is 50" wide and I found a metal box that is 48" wide. Is it ghetto...yeah kinda...but hey I need storage for my tools and it'll be a lot tougher for someone to break into this than a plastic locking tote box.

They make a 36" one too that's about half as small...but it's so small I can't see a good use for it after I'm done with it. The 48" one I can at least use as a secure storage cabinet for my ammo, gunpowder, and primers as well as my many misc gun parts, parts guns, and stuff from when I had my own gunsmithing business.

worst case it'll become my zombie apocalypse safe box kinda like this http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.htm...=304121&page=1

Page 4 of that thread has the plastic locking tote I was thinking about getting. They're similar to the tuff boxes we get for deployments...they're not that "tough". And it's a lot easier to break through plastic than metal

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Just finshed installing My power steering setup with the CPP kit and rebuilding my colum. Works great :metal:

side note; That cpp stuff is nice!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I don't believe you. I'm gonna need some pics for proof.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Ended up having to go into work for a few hours. My plan was to watch the end of the 24 hours at Daytona race and nurse my hangover, but no such luck. Still, got some stuff done.
-Replaced the blower motor for the heater
-Finished mounting the 3-point retractable belts on the driver side
-Replaced the fuel filler hose. Finally, I can fill it up all the way. Why did I put up with that for 15 years?
-Started replacing the felt strips/rattle strips on the driver's side. Stopped by the rain, had to stick a wood shim in there to keep the window up for the night.
And, finally got off my a@# and cleaned up the garage a bit.

*If anyone's looking for parts, I have the stock 6-lug wheels, drums, spindles, master cylinder, and stock height springs I'd like to offload, just PM me.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Strange trans hump. Never seen that before. I remember those days, it did not seem so long ago that I was right where you are. You exicted yet? OH and how many hours have you are going to spend dreaming on all the goodie's you're going to do.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Oh yea, im excited!! I have more sheet metal work to do this week to get ready... The outside had been done for a while now, now its the cab's turn. Next is the engine bay.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

patched up some holes in the cab, gas inlet and filled some holes under the dash, got to cut out the PO hammer work for HEI clearance next, the cab had those two holes at the bottom that I have seen on these trucks for the dealer installed air, planning on putting in AC vents in the ashtray area sorta like the OE version but will make my own.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Tinkered a little after work and bent the trans cooler lines and the fuel line to the carberator.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I really like the custom filler panel on the cowl. I've never seen that done before. Nice work.
