Thats Too Cool, I'll probaly do something like that too, although I would be spooked about sitting on the hood.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Drove it to work. half way there i started to smell coolant :o. not good. i

didnt want to pull over because i was getting so close to work. as soon as i

slowed down enough i could see steam pour out of the engine compartment.

parked it really quick and the hose from the intake to the heater core was

torn.coolant gushed all over the engine and all components. lucky for me i

still had a few extra inches of hose.After work i cut off the torn part and

re- attached it. filled it up with water and was able to get it home.

that was scary when i saw the engine temp rise over 220 degrees :eek:

I imagine you probably prefer the photo with the family added, but that rear shot really makes the truck look tough! Very cool indeed.

Thanks Mark, I like that one too. She took that as I was lighting up the tires a little. My son loves to feel the power as much as I do!

Tried to install my repo driver side arm rest on my 72.I cant for the life of me get the screws to start in the armrest .They go into the door easily and look through the armrest holes and they line up perfectly ,take them out and try as I might they just will not start in.What am I doing wrong ? I did manage a few bad words but all it did was made me feel a little better. Will try again tomorrow.

Consider taking the front panel off, putting them on then re set the panel, would it be easier that way?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I had to put on a long sleeve t-shirt to work out in my shop. LOL. It was mostly to not get sun burn.

Drove to work like I do every day, still get the thumbs up from some drivers. there`s several guys at work that are looking to buy 60-66, seems like its growing more so now than ever, maybe availability, mostly maybe not out of reach price wise but getting noticeably higher...!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I always say there are two seasons in california Summer and waiting for summer" I hate it when it's too cold to work on something.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Reminds me of a time when my wife and I did our first long distance road trip in the truck. She wanted to drive so I told her to watch the gauges and about 30 min to our destination she said "wow, something smells like maple syrup." And I was like "what the Hell, that is not maple syrup that's engine coolant!" LOL turns out we threw the belt to the water pump. I still think of that day everytime I smell maple syrup.

Balanced my drive shaft and ordered new headers, to bad they are back ordered.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Back in 1990 I bought a NOS Chevy Beretta stereo from a friend.

For some tunes in the ole '65 I decided to mount the steroe in the console. I bench tested the radio.. sounds pretty good, well good enough for a shop truck.

To support the stereo I fabricated some 16 gauge steel brackets designed to angle the stereo back up under the cup holders.

I still need to fabricated some spacers to go betweeen the brackets and console, then paint everything up.

My kind of modification… I have all of about 30 bucks in the entire deal, including the radio.
