Finally got it running and took it for a test drive. It crapped out 4 miles into the drive. I troubleshot it and ended up changing the coil on the side of the road. I then drove it home, parked it and now I'm shopping for an HEI.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Went to a local car show today.
Feels good when the judges compliment you on all the work, labor & fabrication done on ya truck;)
Sometimes theres more than just a pretty paint job and chrome.
It was strange...they didn't have a Poe/Street class.

Sir I think you spelled this wrong.;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

What kind of wood did you use for your bed floor? Wood preparartions? I know some people don't like the nots etc shoeing but I think it gives it character.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I filled the turn signal holes in my GMC hood. Seams are next.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

XtechX, it's 3/4" hickory. For prep, not a whole lot, except for sanding... and more sanding. From 120 grit to 800 grit, then 10 coats of urethane brushed on. For the knots, I used a clear acrylic that you can buy as a powder mix. It's the same sort of stuff that a bar would use to make their counters/bars smooth. I agree, the knots give it character. There's a particularly large knot, that I filled, and my wife mentioned (after I'd filled it) that I should've suspended something in it, like a skull, or a small Transformer!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

PAINT!! (inside the cab, at least…):

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

OUCH! Sorry to hear that.

I replaced my fuel tank sending unit. Removed the old tore up visors and replaced them with some new, albeit cheap ones, that came in a box with the truck. Also sandblasted the rear license plate lamp bracket to get it ready for paint.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Ordered some headlight hardware from LMC,buckets,bulb rings,adjuster screws,springs it all came out to $106.00 :jdp: and that's not the main bracket that holds the buckets or the headlight bezels or the headlight bulbs!!! Didnt have time to go to junkyard ,busy going to weddings and stuff at least its all new parts i guess.......

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

OOOW that's gotta hurt scooter, did you have to get stitches? Aug the mental picture. Got a good score on Craigslist 2 leather buckets w/console $60. They were listed for a week and I got lucky. I'm going to use them in my 63 chevy here is a couple of pic's....Vernski:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Flat towed my truck up to my garage from my friends farm so i can start getting busy! I purchased a few cab braces and thats on list as well as trying to get the old girl running. I also confirmed today the engine is a power pack 283 from a 57 chevy...a nice surprise which will makes my little hot rod truck! She coughed and farted a bit after I cleaned the points but I ran out of battery power so hopefully this week I can bet it running and put a plan together. Winter is near so I have get a move on!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I got a good start on removing stuff from my cab. Getting ready to lift it off the frame. I still have to remove the windshield, rear glass, and steering column still.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Back around 1970 I picked up an original Yankee peep mirror in a wrecking yard. I subsequently used this exact mirror on my 1949 Plymouth, 1954 Chevy, 1946 Ford, and even on our 1960 GMC when first acquired. I always loved the looks of the mirror and the vision provided with the mirror so close to my head. Eventually it was replaced with stock door mirrors since the factory nutserts were already in the driver’s door.

Having used it for years, nostalgia got the better of me and I temporarily mounted it to see if I could go back, the intention being to get rid of both door mirrors if it worked well. So far I’m not impressed with the vision. I only drove it at night, but I couldn’t see anything but reflections in the window glass. I’ll try again tomorrow and see if getting use to it again makes any improvement.

Nice job!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finished off putting in my air ride system, took me 3 days not too bad considering I,ve never put them on before. Doesn't drop it all that much but does it ride a whole lot better :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I finished stripping everything off of my cab. Got all the glass out without damage. Ready to deCABitate it from the frame as soon as I can round up son and his friends. Ah, nothing like young muscle to help the old man out. I'm sure it will cost me some beers but it's beer well drank. :alky:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

A buddy asked me to help him work on his truck one time. He said "I need a man with a strong back and a weak mind". I said "I'm your guy!!" Haha.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Sweet seat, Leadfoot!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

primered the outside of the cab - inside's painted, starting to look like someone's restoring it.
doors next.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

put the passenger side mirror on--what a pita

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Spent a better part of the day lining up the front sheetmetal, trying to get all gaps close as possible and body lines somewhat strait, end result, doors and hood shut better and body looks straiter without ever touching bondo or sandpaper!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finished the teardown of the 250 and got it ready for the machine shop. But mostly I got an old boat trailer out of the woods to use as a Carrier for the cab and bed when I take them off for restoration.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

cut out some more brackets under the frame,installed the left side rear disc,made a hanger for the flowmasters and cut out the fear inner fenders.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
