Oh and the clamps will definitely help the original look... Dang another thing I have to look for, lol. |
Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
There might still be a big lot of these on Ebay. There are a lot of singles and a few multiples but they almost cost as much as this big bag of various sizes that I bought. I really think I have enough for all the different water hose sizes and will have spares too. IMO, I think these clamps look cool.
Thank you for the vote - it has been passing between my 72 and jchav62' 62 for quite some time now. I have to be honest, that '62 is sweet (for a 62 that is LOL). |
Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I'm quite proud of the hundreds of tower clamps I snipped off and tossed in the trash during my time as a mechanic. Even prouder of all the Corbin clamps I trashed. :ito:

Well said Richard, when I work on my truck I call it therapy, it really is.

Nothing major, but I needed a solution to carry some tools and whatnot and storage on these is like hen's teeth. Decided to go with a cross bed toolbox. I'm in contact with a few upholstery shops to see who will make me a nice tonneau to butt up against it. It's a cheapie, but I'm happy with it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Cross bed tool boxes are one of the best accessories ever made for pickup trucks!

I recently had my alternator remanufactured by a local shop due to it's squealing. I got it reinstalled this afternoon and it's finally silent!

I have parts pilling up on my shop table! Got my wiper delay box and a water pump for my stock washer Reservoir in the mail today. Still have my tower clamps to put on too! Knowing my luck it will turn cold again on me.
Shameless Ask for Votes Soooo guys that get pop in here and read this thread, it is less than 24 hours to the end of February 2022 ToTM-Fondue I am currently leading but only by 1 vote (its been back and forth all this time I think)! Might any of you great 67`72 truckers want to vote for me? I am sure I sound desperate but I figured I'd get on the old stump for votes one last time! I'd be so proud to win :) https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=830167 |
Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Good luck Richard, I tried to vote for you again but ..... they won't let me.
I like the old clamps, mine are the same, only new. |

Doing some winter maintenance. Had my original rotors turned, installed new bearings, races, and seals. Threw in some new pads, and figured I’d go ahead with replacing the 50 year old brake hoses, too. As said above, this is my therapy as well. Besides, no one wants to be doing this in the Spring/Summer when it’s time to cruise!

I did put in some new seats. They are very comfortable compared to the old ones I had.

While replacing inner, outer rockers, kick panel and lower portion of A-pillar, I figured I's take my time and get some internal frame coating sprayed in while I had the access. Maybe I can keep the rust at bay for a while now. Here are some pics.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Well, hopefully I’ll be working in my grandfathers old 71 gmc soon
Offered a big chunk of money for it When and if I get it. I’ll start a project thread and get to work on it |
Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Placed an order for a custom tonneau cover to fit with the new tool box. Old school black vinyl and chrome snaps. Now, I wait!!
|
Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Brent, I like the look of snaps but I don't like to drill holes in the box, what about Velcro instead of snaps ??

Rear differential is out for re-gearing so I am taking the opportunity to clean things up - new rear brake hose and lines, ne U bolts and blocks - also got the track bar out for new bushings and restoration - replacing all hardware with Grade 8 stuff

I installed a new carrier to replace the old original single track. Reused the same 3:70 gears. The carrier shims required a lot of changes to get the back lash into specifications.
