I recognize those green hoses!! I had a 94 Caprice cruiser car for a while. That LT1 will be nice in your truck.

Been working on my wing windows..:( 50 years of time has made the old rubber as hard as plastic. No fun getting it out of the tracks. But I have one done and the other 50% so on to the next thing HA HA

Change my motor adapter plates which finally allowed the DT headers to fit, thank goodness, 1 7/8" tubes are sweet!

sweet setup! Makes my old TBI setup look antique! LOL

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I think I can make the hoses work with the core support merger... I think the power will be just about right.... I really want to sit the cruise at 70MPH and not have to worry about wrenching on it...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finished lowering the front. Now my clutch yoke hits the exhaust pipe coming down from the manifold. I guess a new exhaust pipe run is my next project.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Fabbed up and welded in the firewall plate on the driver's side and cut out the rusty floors. Question- who sells all the galvanized sheet metal, rivets and the black gooey stuff to all previous owners of these trucks? LOL wow this 'burb had it bad! The driver's floorboard had to be about 1/4" thick.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

loaded up my car trailer and hauled my cab and box sides for Truck 1 to the body shop.Picked up the mock up big block and blower to figure out how big of hole to cut in my hood for the prostreet truck number 2.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Way to go Alan! That must be a great feeling. Have you given your cheek muscles a break from smiling yet? :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Put the stromberg i rebuilt on, set the point gap and changed three fouled plugs, yes a 305v6 will run on three cylinders. Added fresh gas and went for a test drive. Brakes need major work now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Pulled out the spare tire and brackets and the overload springs.
Wonder how long the spare's been under there?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Oh, and took some pictures!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Maybe since 1964? :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I just saw the picture of your white 63'. Real nice! Do you have any other pictures? I'm building a 63' bbw swb custom cab truck myself. Looks like we don't live all that far apart either. Ive got a 69' Vette motor lined up (427 Tri Power ), should be pretty nice. Also looking for help uploading pictures to this forum.

Cool another Nor cal truck. welcome if I had`nt said so..;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Oh, I'm stressing over body work and just found the rust that I thought wasn't gonna be there. No pro at body work and now to find out that I need a new rocker on the drivers side. Oh well, it's all good.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got my frame mount brake pedal/master cylinder mounts made and test fit. Also made a matching throttle pedal set up thru the floor. The idea here is to have nothing on the firewall. Should be making and installing the front floor pans tomorrow-wanted to get the brake pedal done and fab floor around it. Will post pics in my build thread. Also made my own LED front park/turn signals for the GMC hood I am using. If anyone wants to have a set, let me know-it was cheap and easy!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got the Rally wheels on my Patina`d 69 GMC, WOW what a difference, it livened the oe girl right up !!:gmc2:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Oil / oil filter change and lubed the front end.

Then I proceeded to run out of grease in the grease tube without a spare tube.

whoops.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finally got a set of headers that fit good, did not have to trim the frame. This was set 3 as the first set of Hedman's wouldnt work with the motor moved to the forward hole, I also tried some patriot shorties, those were close but hit the CPP mounts

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Mounthed the front clip.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Installed a new retro radio and kick panels with speakers.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I did full rear brake job on my 64 C20 Crew Cab using 1980 K20 front rotors, calipers and lines. Did the swap in 06 and 1 caliper locked up last weekend so i swapped all out yesterday. The mounting brackets are for a 14bolt disc conversion and work on the Eaton H052 / H072. From Great Lakes Offroad...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Tell some details on those kick panels w/speakers! They look great - how do they sound?

As for me, I picked up a new bed and tailgate from Craigslist and pulled out my radiator and heater core. Taking them to the radiator shop....got most of the front end disassembled.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

They sound ok. Just running deck power now so cant really say for sure until I get an amp. Also the speakers are pretty low, so its a good idea to also run a speaker or pair of speakers in the factory dash to balance the sound.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

tried to get an alignment and ran into low truck prejudice.

"wont work on that its lowered"

actually its channeled so its really only 2 inches or so lower than stock.

"nope"

so tomorrow I get to find a new alignment shop.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

just ordered my dom 2600's for the front. got my sectioned cross member paid for. Ordered a running 350 to replace my old 6 from a local wrecking yard they will deliver it thurs. also ordered my new wiring harness from speed way. so a pretty productive day!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I pulled my windsheild and started to "discover" where I need to do some body work.
