Past two days got my rims painted black, bought some used tires and shaved the sidewalls down for a cheaper but good looking set of wide whites.

s***** looking trailer wheels that I rolled on all winter long just waiting for this day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Vernski, Looks awesome... who's weatherstripping did you use and do the doors close ok now?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

When I had installed mine back in `93, I had bought mine from LMC, did this in the hot sun so they would soften up, after install, closed doors and left them for a couple of days to take shape to the door and jam, turned out nice, needs to be done again, all wore off the lower kick panel from use..;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yeah Lake I bought it from Brothers Trucks but it is made by Metro Supersoft Weatherstrip Minneapolis, Minnesota. At the moment I can't remember if it was Brothers for sure cause it was a couple of years ago and I suffer from CRS allot. And yes the doors close but are tighter than a nats ask me when they break in tight...Vernski:banghead:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Made a ground strap from the bed to the frame. I'm going to try to drive it this weekend. I have to work 12 hrs tomorrow,and I was too tired to do anything else, I'll just wait until this weekend. The battery needs to be charged also.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I went and picked up another hood for my 66. the front brace on mine is rusted through on the passenger side so I thought I could use pieces from both and make one good hood. Turned out to be in pretty good shape and the front brace has no rust so I'm in business. I also picked up an original aluminum front grill for $20 bucks with a few dings, etc. but seems to be totally fixable. I was just wondering what these grills are going for these days? I was thinking they are getting hard to find. Was this a good deal or not? I am also wondering if any of you Portland area guys restore these or no someone that does?
I also prepped and got some primer on the power steering gear I picked up which cleaned up real nice and painted my front bumper brackets and motor mount brackets.
This weekend my son and a couple of friends are coming over to help me push the truck out of the garage and turn it abound so I can start on cleaning up and rebuilding the rear suspension, etc. (I've got limited room in my garage)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Still more scraping and sanding under fenders and frame. Painted the front of the frame and inner fenders (rattle can). This ones not going to be a body off build, just trying to get it to look simi good, then drive it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That's a great deal on the grill. There is a guy on craigs list that has a 1966 chevy that he is parting out. I talk to him this morning about his grill he is asking $200 Talking about a good deal I ran a add on Portland craigs list for the last 2 months looking for a drivers door for my 66. Sunday a guy called he said that he has one went to look he had both rust free very nice doors. I asked him how much $50 for both made my day. And I gave $25 for a pair of custom cad trim pieces and a pair of turn signal bezels.
