Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Spent all day under the truck in 45 degree weather and 30 mph winds. Got the trailing arms blasted and painted, installed the new polyurethane bushings, painted a section of the chassis, installed the new 5" dropped rear coils, and the shock relocators.
Tomorrow, I plan on getting the pinion angle set and welding on the rear saddles. If it's not too windy, I'll paint the rear end and install it. I'm anxious to see the truck on it's wheels. |

Finally got the truck road worthy last night and was asked to participate in a photo shoot. Got some really awesome shots of the truck in Roanoke, VA tonight.

Finally decided to stick with a free short bed stepper....
I was trying to sell it and was going to modify (shorten) a fleet LB but decided the cost wasn't worth it.... I was happily surprised that the mounts on the bed lined up perfectly with the '73 Chassis, whewwww no mods to be done!!! Just bolt 'er in... The pics are just mock ups, still need to weld new cab mounts to fit my '61 cab; |
Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Free is GOOD

By the way she was trying to make me take a bunch of chevy stuff but I thought I got enough with the bed... She said it was rusty, yeah more like just surface rust :lol:....Think I am just gonna spray it the way it is with Hot Rod Flatz Race blue then cab to follow when money tree permits.... Have a good one guys/gals |

Packing up the3 bed full of motor, trans, steering column, extra parts I might need, extra parts I don't need and towing my 64 step down to Tucson to my brother's place.
He said he could put it together, but man I just don't know if he can. Wait and see I guess. |

I stopped and picked them up. and like a MORON I drove down there in a absolute deluge to make them put them on correctly. Well, they sent out a young girl, that was so small she had to bring a step ladder. To stand on, in a epic downpoor. while all six foot four 245lbs of my embarrassed *** sat in the the truck and proved a point. horrible expierence. |
