Jacked it up to remove the sway bar and install its lowering brackets. Then I might get going on the steering joints replacement.

Black Vinyl on a Cheyenne Super?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

That was on the original SPID and I am adding the Super bit to my truck (just need to add the fender badges). Here's a photo of the cab, the headliner is black too.

For reference, here is my original SPID

Today I add a "68-72 Chevy/GMC C10 Truck Chrome Ignition Switch Key Chain Scratch Guard" (KEY0849-386) from JLFabrication. Took forever to get it because it was back ordered. My keychain was really working a number on the dash paint.

In case anyone wants to get it or something else from JLFabricationn here's a coupon code: THANKYOU5

Today was productive, I got a new hood seal installed, leaf guards under the cowling and another coat of sweet patina on her today. Even got rain X on all the glass.

What a beauty

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I got the fenders and grille bolted in loosely. I really need to get this back on the road, it’s sooo close.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

That looks good , I got one for the 'Burb and another for my Blazer. Neither one installed yet.

Looking good.:metal:

Replaced the brake booster today.
Now it really stops! As soon as I'd start the truck, the pedal was sucked to the floor.

I was noticing the engine not running as smoothly, and it was a vacuum leak in the booster. Apparently, cause now it stops like it was new and the engine purrs like it should.

Happy that's all it was.

Installed a/c vents and radio.

finally buttoned up the last of my brake lines to complete quite possibly the longest disk brake conversion in history

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Thought I buttoned up the 68 Goldens brakes . Bled the system no air in the system but the rears aren’t working properly I have firm brake peddle the rear is weak if I put it in drive at idle the Speedo goes to 15 mph hit the brake it slows to about 4 or 5mph . I ordered a new master as this one looks to be a rebuilt but it doesn’t look like the correct one . It is rectangular and has two equal rectangular reservoirs. I ordered a new Acdelco

The passenger front shoes were heat damaged the drum cut without an issue so that’s a plus . Had to use the grips to hold the old rear rubber brake hose fitting was buggered up so the line wrench didn’t hold , the hard line came right out without any issues as did all the rear lines . Love New Mexico trucks

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

We sure do!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Not today but recently, put in all new drum brake components :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Fuel, and coolant lines finished up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Wanted to get going on my list of projects, so I tucked up the front sway bar.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Those are good looking. :)

Reverse lights without cutting M/T harness

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

New master on the 68 Golden . Everything is now new and she stops very well . I’m guessing the master cylinder the PO installed was the problem all along, stopped ok but the rears were not working correctly. I can now lock up all 4 in a panic stop . To shiny though for the truck

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

My Vintage Air 4 knob controller had its fan (off, lo, med, hi ) switch go loose last season...it would spin freely a quarter round before it "caught" and would click the switch. Well, just yesterday it let go completely and would just spin, not catch and actuate the 3 way switch.

Pulled it and found that each knob has a set screw. The fan knob's screw was backed all the way out! Easy fix and with a little loctite, it'll probably never happen again...

Truck is on jackstands, rear shocks removed, and will be doing the shock relocator kit this weekend

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Fixed the trans detent on the 68 golden steering column . I couldn’t get the shift lever to pull back and it really didn’t like to go into gear or into park . Took it all apart it’s amazing how 55 year old grease turns into concrete . Had to clean everything with PB Blaster and a wire brush . Lubed it put it back together and now it works like it should .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Replaced the 2 core radiator that was in the truck with a new 4 core from Summit. That plus a new thermostat & radiator cap, I should be running nice and cool now.

Today I installed black wrinkled finish early LT1 style valve covers on the 355.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

They look good.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I am debating putting these on my 2wd 67. Can you post more pictures of your truck with these on please at different angles?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Thank You!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Yes, I’ll get a few more pics tomorrow..

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Not necessarily to my truck but for my truck eventually. Buddy has a 68 frame that was bent in the front and he is taking all the useable parts off before he tosses it. I grabbed the auto transmission crossmember and the auto shifter linkage pedestal thing on the frame. Two more pieces down towards the manual to auto swap.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Installed my shock relocation kit yesterday. A little tough dealing with the rivets from below, but it worked out great.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Used that same kit on my truck, but I was fortunate in the bed was off when I did it. Have put almost 2,000 miles on the truck in the last 18 months.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I didn't do anything significant to the truck but drove it the long way home after work yesterday morning. Beautiful sunny Sunday morning with very minimal traffic about at 7:00AM so perfect day for a 75 mile drive out of the City and cross country to loop back another way. Truck was down for 18 months and our drivng season here is quickly coming to and end so been driving it as much as I can since back on the road in June.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Yeah, just drove mine to a store. Need to keep the juices swirling around, right?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Finished the engine bay, the battery proved a challenge to buy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Very nice work
