Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I like that way of thinking.... you would think with a nickname like Sig Shooter people would think twice before stealing from a red blooded, gun packing, redneck from the south!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yes, nice and dry. I thought it was a real reasonable deal on the wood. I cut all the grooves etc in them today. They turned out very nice, but I didn't go the full 1/4 inch wide for the grooves (about 3/16").

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

White oak is a great choice in wood, and particularly beautiful if the annual growth rings are perpendicular to the board face (quartersawn). There is no reason you can't make the required grooves with a standard blade. Just make a pass and move the fence over a tad for another pass until the groove is as wide as it needs to be. You'll be pushing the planks over the saw many times each, but it'll work.

Trick Flow makes the kit, got it from summit, good stuff

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Not what I have done but more what needs to be done, replace heater core, it blew out Thursday morning on the way to work, its from radiator exspress, ( 55 plus tax vs 79 plus tax thru LMC ) they are the cold glue type, lasted eight years, not sure I want to go the glued route again. Mann it sured fogged up the interior in a hurry, could`ntt see anything at 4:00 am in the morning when the outside temp was 28 degees, had to open both windows to clear out....it was cold.:lol: Does anybody know if LMC`s are soldered or glued.....?

I went to bleed my brakes today and ended up with another blown brake line. Right rear portion just before the rubber brake hose. Pretty sure the rubber hose has collapsed so I ordered a new one from Ecklers.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Today replaced the driverside bed panel. I picked up a shortbed about a month ago for $100. Well traded it for a 292 that I paid 100 for. Now need to decide on one piece of high quality plywood or a bed kit. Also got a gilmer drive kit. Need to find a different alt bracket for it to work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Washed the windows, filled her with gas, and kept on driving. Still loving driving her! :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Nothing on the truck but related. I picked up the gas cylinder for my new mig welder and began the learning process. I can't believe it took me 45 years to do this. I had a lot of fun, managed to get a half decent bead by the time I quit, and I didn't burn down the garage or burn or electrocute myself. It was a good day!!:ennyd:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Well not just today for over the last 2 "truck" days... Two coats of POR15 on the frame after cleaning it up with a pressure washer and wire brush and wire wheel. I also worked on the firewall. More pics on my build page...:b69:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

better late than never, but as promised, pics of my front suspension. It is in no way complete,this was the first mock up with tires and bags.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Sorry wrong pic. No airbags installed yet. Basically the rundown, I built my own crossmember and lowered the truck about 4 1/2 inches with stock spindles and control arms. didn't need it to lay out since it will be a driver. Still have to raise engine about 1 1/2 for rack clearance. will box and gussett everything after I fit a cpl more pieces, then make it look pretty, LOL!. Also have all the Painless wiring harnesses laid out,too. Hope to start on the dash and sheet metal work next week. Body going to media blasting while I finish chassis.
Hey guys, all your projects are looking great too! There's alot of talent in this group, just hope mine will stack up. BTW we plan on attending the Midwest All Truck Nats with both projects. Look forward to meeting some of you.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Pulled the back up project out of the back of the shop......started washing it and cleaning it up....might as well start working on that again while the prostreet truck is in the body shop......
