Thanks markeb01, here is an update

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

You mean to say you have not seem my pictures before. I am in the process of running the wires right now. They exit the cab from the old gas pedal hole. I am going with a cable instead of the rod.

Made progress on Frankenstein fender (making one good one from best - rust free - parts of 2) - now ready to weld together!
The last pic shows brace/mount of old original (note custom p.o. screw repair at top)

I know I’ve seen that photo for sure, but since it’s all smoothed off and painted I never noticed the missing plate. I really like the look, I think I’ll do it to mine when I pull the engine for replacement and detailing of the engine compartment.

decided which seat of the two i should use and test fit it. test fit the heater unit under the dash, but decided to mount it in the glove box, pix in a few days... and drew the shop logo on the tailgate with sharpie marker...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Nice work. I admire that kind of talent.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I agree - looks great, bugeye. We'll see if my welding project comes out as well in a few days (ran out of time on my snow day yesterday).

gathering up parts, material for the weekend. The no fun part, but necessary. Nothing worse than a trip to the parts store in the middle of trying to make progress.

i got mine stuck in the 23 inches of snow we got here.... not as fun as you might think. luckily i have a 4x4 Tahoe for backup

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I dont own a 60-66 but i picked up some plugs and wires and replaced my fuel pump relay on my 92

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Too cold around here lately to do any work on the truck. This year my focus will be on the floorboards, rockers, seat and window/door seals and gaskets.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Fabricated and installed some custom upper rear shock brackets. A bolt in deal that uses the stock bracket rivet holes. These move the top of the shock back about 4 inches and thus makes the shock about 18 degrees off vertical. Needed because I have 5" drop springs.

I posted a step-by-step procedure with pictures and a drawing... see post #59 of my build thread.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

still did nothing on either of my trucks but did get the boys 89 trans am running so my projects are getting closer on the list.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Pulled the carb parts out of the carb cleaner bucket and rebuilt it. I'm surprised it ran before... float must have been dragging on the bottom of the bowl and the metering rod was unhooked from the pump plunger rod...

Inlet is partially stripped. If it leaks, I'll find a Rochester mono...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finished installing the three point retractable seat belts, cleaned up some more wiring, got my heater working (with two speeds now!) and got all the new window felts put in...starting to get pretty close to civilized!!! Also pulled the clutch pedal and z-bar out. Next up, a stereo to take care of the rest of the rattles and squeaks, still waiting for the new lock set to come in from ECE. Still have to get the rear axles drilled to 5x5, find a power steering setup, decide what to do about A/C, and install the rear discs. Whew. And i finally got around to test fitting the hitch reciever from uhaul. Should work fine. This things never gonna be done!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

they sell a repair fitting for that, its a bit longer and will fix the leak if there is one

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Messed around with my throttle linkage a little bit. Having a bit of a brain fart, is the pedal assembly different in a 62 than it would be in a 66? I put a 250 where the 235 was.

Was able to bring her home this morning, she where she belongs Boys! The guy in the hat is Uncle Ken, he's into antique too has a (I think a '68-69) TR6 rag top fully restored. I really need to put the seat in to get it off the pool table before the wife saw it and it's also out of the way too. I knew I was clos to the color match, but I really think I could not gotten any closer, esp. right out of the catalog from the Truck and Car Shop.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Well, yesterday actually. My wife said that I needed to be sure the old truck was clean. When I asked her why, she just smiled and said that we were going to use it as a prop in our family portraits. Too cool, made this alot more fun than it could have been.
