Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

it's 1.5" wider, 3/4 each side, I have one under my truck and havent had any clearance issues....yet.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

yes,3/4 per side.
I'm after the 5 lug pattern to match my '75 fronts.
LOL now I've got 6-lug rallies too,so I can still go either way with it.
It would just be nicer to only carry 1 spare instead of two

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I would like to find 2 6lug ralleys close to me, I have a trailer I am putting together. it will be my short bed truck pulling my short bed fleet trailer. I also have a long bed fleet trailer, so maybe short pulling short pulling long....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Clyde65 I have a set of 8 inch Rally with trim rings and caps, 6 hole. I will be changing over to 5 lug soon and found a set of 7 inchers to replace with. Send me a pm and maybe we can make a deal

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

I put the body back together just to see the stance and to clean up the garage before it starts getting cold and to make more room in the winter to work out there.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I stole mine back (LEGALLY)!!!

For more info see my thread below, so I don't double post.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

went to leave work in the dark this morning... and 'poof' dash lights went out... dome light too...

hrmmn... headlights are on, so I go home.

I get home and check it out... no tail lights.

hmnn... I've played this game before!!!

o reilly parts actually had a switch on the shelf( I was shocked)... but, after installing it... not the prollem...

found about 2 or 3 other potential issues with ratty wiring... but working still...

then I checked something that had been broke before... that I'd fixed, years ago...

pulled the fuse panel off the firewall and sure enough... melty action... my fix had been fried!

$%!@%^%#&$^@!!!!!

I really need a new harness... blah.

old trucks are fun... old trucks are fun... old trucks are fun...

Woog takes a deep breath and chants:

"ooooohhmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnn"


so, when we buy a new harness... is it bumper to bumper, from headlights to tail lights... engine harness... under dash harness... everything?

I thought ya'll might chuckle at my predicament...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I'm going to paint it the yellow green & ivory that way I wont have to paint the fire wall, it's not yellow but it's close. Hey last winter when I was at Wall-mart a guy asked me if I want to be one of there Santa's? I said no that when I had girls set on my lap I had bad thoughts and he went away quickly. By the way I like old gassers....Vernski:gmc2:

Very Nice, where did she get them?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I've seen some really clever cab rotisseries, but I'm too lazy/impatient to build one, so I did this and primered the inside of the cab:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Hi Clyde she got them from www.stylintrucks.com They are made by Lloyd and were $119.66 w/free shipping...Vernski:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Started sanding on the body, I guess this means I'll have to paint it for real now. I havent painted any thing since the early 80's and all I have is a showtime hvlp ,going to be interesting if anything.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I finally got around to putting on the front swaybar. If I would have known that it would make that much of a difference I would have put it at the top of the list.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finally got my gas tank in the rear of my 64 short stepside. Ran out of daylight before I could finish plumbing and hear her run again. But I'm off until Tuesday ! Old Flo will be running before the weekend is done !!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Laid some wood

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Alan - nice bed.

I stripped wires and soldered & crimped connections on my '65 c10... 4 or 5 patches or replacements altogether.

I only burned myself twice with the soldering iron!

hah. nothing serious just a 'OW-THATS-HOT!' moment toward then end when I was tired and ready to be done with it.

Wired it up, put old head light switch back in... cleaned up, took a nap, went to the cruise in a way over in Dallas, GA in the truck... took those photos, ate some bbq and then walked around some more.

Then I eased on back to the house.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

wax on wax off..............then drove it like i stole it

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Well I took ol'blue out for a drive, drove about 30 miles .. Confirmed that the radiator and fan work properly .. I actually looked at a 62 chevy c10 , if anyone is looking for such a project this one has all the lower cab work done... it does need a roof.. but the worst is done... Yeah I know , like I need another project ,as if 2 trucks (3 cars ) etc isnt enough..anyways the engine I put in the truck runs OK,but it does need a bit more oil pressure.. I will worry about that when I get the other truck running and this one goes under the knife...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I lightened it up a bit. I don't know how many pounds of bondo were in each fender, but it was A LOT!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

It has been on there for the years I have owned the truck, and at least the 2 years my buddy owned it, and it was still somewhat soft in the middle!

Here is a shot of starting to pull it out of the Passengers side.

I ended up resorting to drilling holes in it, then breaking it out, and repeating over and over!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
