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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

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

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

YES my friend, if its free its for me!!!!

This belonged to a lady's ex-husband and she got sick of it being in her

yard so she put it on Craigslist and I snatched it up...Complete with tail

gate:metal:. 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

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finished the floor on the cab and undercoated it. Finished the back cab mounts. Painted the caprice frame under where the cab is going to rest.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I pulled the passenger side wiper off. since it was flopping around like a lame duck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I had plastic wiper arms on the truck when I first bought it in `93, running down the road with traffic raining real hard , I`ve got the wipers on high and the right one flew off and hit the car next to me at the light, thank god the driver had a sense of humor he just started laughing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

This has happened to me twice! once in a downpoor in a dodge the drivers side flew off I had to lean over fast and look out the other side. intill i could pull over to swap it over. then last year I had jiffy lube put knew ones one the company truck. they both flew off as soon as I turned them on
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, well I fired it up for a short time yesterday, first time in about a year, popped right off sounds nasty, anyway had a leak at the cooling lines (700r4) I ran the lines right in but need fittings between line and tranny, I had two in my box they fit tranny and not return line, I will hunt some down tomorrow, hope you all have a great turkey day
