Minor stuff. scored a pair of 63 Starfire courtesy lights to put in my kick panels.

Cool! Any pictures? :D

I made the kick panel,
still need to weld it in.

I didn't do anything to my 52 but I did some serious looking and measuring on my 72. and found some possible solutions on moving the A/C pump on my 6bt Cummins to narrow up the bottom some.

On my 55.5 gmc, I got all my brakes gone through and replaced all the parts that needed it. Also got a few good parts off another 57 GMC including an electric wiper motor!

Got all the tail lights wired up. Now I'm working on the inside.

I've been out of town since Friday so I got nothing done. I've been busting buns at my step son's new house installing a soft water system and post hole digging (ugh!) for rotted off posts - what a PITA job!

Work to restart on my '55 later this after noon!

I cut and drilled bumper mounts and reworked the pad where my core support mounts.
I also replaced another electric window motor in my moms Dakota. that's to in less than a week.

Found this bumper and grille guard on e-bay mislabeled as a 38 Dodge pick up part. Was the only bidder and got it CHEAP. Had to install it and dress up my bumper.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

I'd like to see those too!;)

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Denee,
I don't have a photo but I've seen several cars and trucks that used those old chrome license plate lights on the kick panels and even in the engine compartment. These are the ones I'm talking about are about 1" in diameter with half the lense area covered in chrome kinda like an eyelid.

Dan, you mean like these? These are about the easiest way to add courtesy lights. I have mine wired so that both sides don't come on when one door is open.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Dan, Russell, now that is a clever idea! Thanks!!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I need to make a new picture. I have corrected that gap at the top of the A/C outlet.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Got front fenders and hood fit up.
Having problem with back of hood not wanting to set down when closed........
Can't get adjusted to stay down...........worn hinges maybe?
Any tips?

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Got my rear fenders back from the blaster. Looked good. Found all the prior work. Some of it was even lead work. That's a lost art. Never mind terribly toxic.

I'm having the same problem. Fabguy suggested I put all the shims under the lowest hood bolt (when the hood is in the up position). I plan to do that tomorrow and hope it makes some difference.
