Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Understood. I have one cab corner that is Bondo City. The original owner's wife told me that one time they got "sideswiped", but I think "T-Boned" is a more likely description. I also have camper stabilizer brackets bolted through/tearing out my cowl. Along with an antenna.

One thing at a time, one day at a time is a philosophy that fits with my existence.

over the weekend I traded a 350 that needed building for this.Hope it runs as good as it looks. it will be painted orange.

PO decided instead of welding in the new rockers he'd rather rivet them in... oh and he lost a bolt for the hood hinge too. Three guesses what he used.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Square head farmer bolt?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I guess a welder, maybe too advanced though for him.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

None that I know of. Have a feeling I know who it was and I have never met him or had any dealings with him. While I was working on it Wednesday afternoon, a guy down the street came up and said that the police were out again that morning looking at it. It is moved now though. :chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

well today hung the hyd jack on the crane and fabricated a a rest for the boom to sit on, just sucks i cant weld so now i wait untill i can get one of my friends over.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Had my carb rebuilt. Oh man it seems this was what has been causing me problems all along. Been wary of driving it across town because when getting off the freeway it would spit an sputter like it was out of fuel. I'll get it on the freeway this weekend but just driving it to the store its noticebly a lot better than it was.

Two part story here.

1st,
I registered for the 2013 Hot Rod pour tour this morning! YeeeeeHaaa!

2nd.
I took the 71 over to my buddies shop and he put it up on the rack to find the oil leaks! 3 of them. Rear main, front main and intake all are leaking. Ordered the seals and gasket's to fix all of it. Got to get it ready for the Tour in June.
I have some more small problems but I can take care of those once I'm back walking.:chevy:

Took my neighbor for a spin who quickly agreed that the new V8 was definately quicker than we anticipated. :burnout:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got some goodies in the mail for her. Pulled the tired 307 to get the engine bay cleaned up, painted, and ready for its new Boosted 383 Stroker Heart!

Painted my compressor brackets.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got the seats all bolted in. The seatbelts all fabbed and installed, under the hood cleaned up (needed to re-route a couple of plug wires..no, actually, I needed to
Dremmel tool a little aluminum off of the plug wire channel on one wire).

A friend stopped by with a present. A few years ago, I sold my '72, without the tonneau cover. I gave it to a friend. His brother talked him out of it.
Now, neither the brother nor the friend has a truck. So, guess who got the cover back!!!!

Look how those Blazer seats fit on the passenger side. The trim around the bottom is an exact fit for the mounting "hump" on the floor of our trucks!

I'm just fa$&ing around while the California DMV decides they have enough money from me to send me my tags. Then, off to the Exhaust Man...
...then a front wheel alignment...then the Air Conditioning Service man to charge up my brand-new Vintage Air system...
Then, I get to have a real truck to drive again!!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Bought a Hobart 187 off ebay....finally fired it up, no pun intended. Yes its for my truck hehe.....Now what to build:devil: step notch muhahaha......!!!!????

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Narrowed rear goes in next.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

This inspired me to do a little something different for a horn button while I wait for the %^*)& DMV to send me my tags.

Cut down a stocker horn ring to fit the wood wheel.
