Re staining the Bed. Previous stain was just
home brew for "aging" the wood
And distress. This stain turned out a bit
too dark....I'll give a few days before I think about
Trying to lighten it a bit.

Forgot the second picture for comparison on
Color/age effect.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

That's really cool. Is that for functional purposes? What are you planning on putting on there?

What are your plans?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

BBW conversion. I think im gonna flatten the panel below the window for increased seat room. I was hoping somebody did this but cant find it anywhere

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Last couple months got the engine install done, still trying to get carb. to run right, exhaust with Purple Hornies, way too loud, new brakes, rebuilt wheel cylinders and master cylinder, new wheel adapters 2" spacers for newer dually wheels, mounted new tires, gutted interior, seat is being upholstered right now, installed sound deadner, new fuel sender and tank. Old sender didn't work, pulled out and it looked like a boat anchor at the bottom of the ocean for 20 years, tank was all rusty too with a 1/4" hole rusted through the back about 3/4 the way up. Installed new gas tank neck gasket from Classic Heartbeat.

I bought a 66 C20 that on the good side is very original and rust free. The bad, it had been sitting for many years, not running, bad gas, and every hose that carries fluid dry rotted. I have been slowly working through the process of assessing what can be rebuilt, and getting it on the road. The end goal is a restoration and for me is to have a solid daily driver. Completed a clean and rebuild of the carb.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Put on new exterior door handle gaskets. Dropped the clutch head mounting screw down inside the door and spent half an hour trying to dig it out. When I finally did I went around to the drivers side and dropped another one. Have yet to get it dug out, had enough for today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Last week I replaced the carb. Runs a lot better however it's now backfiring a bit. Seems if it's not one thing it's another. I think it might be a timing issue...

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Rebuilt the front wheel cylinders. Last week rebuilt the twin master. Truck has been sitting for 20 years, and zero brakes, zero clutch, and I haven't tried starting it yet.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

This was over the weekend. New rockers, floor pieces... and that aftermarket fender I bought around 2001 never fit right up front... :ito:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

installed some sheet metal back on truck, seems like I am getting closer!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

got the cab sitting back on its feet again,and took the bushings out of trailing arms to get ready to install the new ones,heated them up like i read on here somewhere,worked excellent! panhard bar next!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Scored a 73 front end!! I say scored because on top of the disc brakes it already has drop spindles, lowering springs, drop shocks and power steering. Can't beat it at $150.00 :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I think you can use your old front cross member with those upper and lower control arms with some vary minor modifications. That’s if you don’t have torsion bar suspension.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Yeah I can according to everything I've read, no torsion bars for me as it's going on a 64... I wasn't sure which cross member would give me the most clearance or if there is even a difference. Gonna go through it and replace bushings and ball joints while it's out but everything else is good to go, sometimes it pays to not sleep and watch craigslist haha.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Finished up the majority of the interior. Fresh paint job, seat upholstery, 5 point harnesses, carpet, shifter, steering wheel, etc... Looks like a new truck in there now.
