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

Took the truck on its first street run. Went to town with the wife and grabbed some lunch. While out we dropped by this place for a quick photo. Back in the day this was Wallace Baker Chevrolet and my truck was sold there in September of 1967.
All went well but need to get it to an alignment shop. Doesn’t pull but it’s a bit twitchy in the corners. After that it’s off to the glass shop for a windshield.

We need a like button, nice stepside and all guys,

hdrolling, I wonder how much your neighbours like your air hammer, LoL ..... carry on man!

It's great to see your truck on the road!

Well got the heater core out today and only destroyed one of the 50 year old A/C duct hoses. Core box not to bad for debris and core still looks pretty good but it is50 years old and with my rad being redone with new rebuilt waterpump and new engine going in didn't want the core to be the weak link in the chain. Decided to take off drivers side inner fender as well, for a repaint/powdercoat and the last bolt popped the jnut and I was tired so tomorrow back with the grinder to cut the bolt off.

Like your tire and wheel combo, I had a 72 Cheyenne Stepside years ago with the 8 Rally's and deep Corvette trim rings which made them look even deeper.

Thanks, pj. As you can see, your handywork is on full display!

Sheepdip - Thank you. They turned out a bit better than I had hoped in the looks department.

Been three years to get to this point. Still some things to finish up before I just enjoy driving it but nice to be able to jump in it and actually drive it.

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

I suspected that was the case. Your truck looks great. I really like the aged bumper.

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

.

Not aged...Un-younged. :lol:

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

Little worthless trivia on my truck. I had a 1970 step side when I was the ages of 16-22. The Chevrolet plate on the front of my 67 was on that truck as well. How and why I kept it all these years I do not know. Guess I always knew there would be another truck someday.

Seed... I have lot's of seeds 'round my place. :lol: Hoping to have a more trucks in my future.:chevy:

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

I didn't get any complaints and the HOA didn't stop by so I think I got away with it. Sold the 90's step side bed today so at least that is gone for good.

Cleaned her up to make sure any metal dust from the grinding and air hammer rust removal doesn't ruin my paint.

LS Fab cup holder came in from Canada last night, I love it. installs using the factory HVAC control screws.

Ok, not something done to my truck but... this past Saturday...

I think the artist really captured my truck well. If you're in or near Jax FL, David Cappella is the MAN!

Wow, that's commitment, great looking tattoo man

nice cup holder

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

Not today...but a few days ago, I relocated my windshield washer jug to the driver's side, removed the dealer installed under dash A/C system and heater core/fan box cover and installed the two firewall block off plates. I mounted an Edelbrock fuel sump pump on the block off plate as a start for when my back ordered Pro Flo 4 gets here in August. I purchased my block off plates from Full Custom Fabrication and I'm really impressed with their product. I opted for the "No Holes" option as I want to use a bulk head for the Heater and A/C hoses when I decide on which aftermarket system to go with (heavily leaning towards Classic Auto Air). Now I'll remove it all to prime the bare metal and one day a ways in the future, pull everything out and make a clean and tidy engine bay.

I "tried' to move my 70 CST. My buddy bought my 5th wheel. He's picking it up tomorrow and I it's a little tight to clear the gate with the truck parked where it is.

Truck has NO brakes. And I mean none. It's not moving. Well it'll move. Runs fine. It just won't stop. Not at all. We have to go to plan B. I didn't have time to fool with it tonight. It got dark and tomorrow is another day.

The trailer might clear. But it's going to be a tight one. I guess I could just use the emergency brake to stop the truck. But where's the fun in that?

I like to make things more difficult than they should be. :lol:

I painted my doors and orange peeled the crap out of them. So I get to redo them, lucky me.

Lesson learned on the second coat. Go for a medium coverage and not a light coat.

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

I feel your pain. I just did a "touch up' on my VW. I might as well of have had my 4 year old granddaughter spray it. Probably would have turned out better.

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

I had been searching for a Fold Away Bumper Step it seems like forever and always seemed to hit a dead end as far as actually getting my hands on one. A couple of weeks ago I hit gold! And believe me I paid gold for it.

I finally made a phone call to a wholesale distributor on the east coast and he agreed to sell/ship me one.

No more dragging the milk crate out to check my air filter and other hard to reach spots, any of you vertically challenged guys like me will understand.

And Made In The USA to boot!
I did have to machine some hard plastic spacers 1-1/2" thick then bevel back 1/4" to fit for the bottom to offset it to level when open and drill 2 holes in my bumper for the bottom bolts w/spacers.
The countersunk flathead screws provided, which make the standing surface flat were to short to mount the license plate and license frame, I have yet to pick some up and just used bolts and nuts for now.
Works very well, solid and strong.

New hoses the 5/8ths heater hose burst in the driveway . Not soft or cracked but had no idea how old the hoses were . Also found why my passenger side inner fender was getting oil on it . Thought it was the valve cover but it turns out the oil is coming out the vent hole on the fuel pump . Have to get one this weekend

Finally got the rims and tires mounted on my truck! I painted the rims white and the tire shop did a phenomenal job mounting the tire on the rim!! NO SCRATCHES on them at all. They also balanced the tire by putting the weights on the inside and outta sight. Getting there a little at a time. I also met a guy at the tire shop who was complimenting my truck and he said he has several of these trucks, if I needed parts to go over! Yeah!!

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

Penka, it's nice to know a guy with parts trucks, lookin' good.

I finally got around to putting my glove box back in, after about eight years. Of course I forgot how it goes back in and I lost all the bolts. After messing with it for awhile. I came back to this site and googles glove box install. The first thing that pops up is GoPapa having the same problem. After reading it, I had it back in in 10 minutes. Most of you don't realize how GREAT this site is for us mechanically impaired people.
thank you mike
