cb1965,
That's exactly what I did. I bought my CCP Drop Spindles from Summit & they were on my front porch the next day. I ordered my 6 lug rotors from CPP on sunday & they were on my door step on wednesday. Fast shipping from both places. I was very happy with both.

Sent mine to work with my son in law yesterday, he works for a local restoration shop, to get my A/C charged. He said he needed to take it back today because they were low on freon. I think he is just having too much fun driving it. :-} I'm tying up some loose ends before Lone Star Round Up next weekend in Austin. It is a must see and do event!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

New bed wood, tubs, and strips are in and strapped down. Gotta fix the tailgate and this thing is ready for cruising season!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Wow, took CPP 2 months to get my disc conversion kit in. Ive always had fast service with Summit though.

Tightened up the ball in the rear view mirror.

Evicted a family of wasps from under the cowl and pulled the carb to rebuild. Also pulled the valve cover and found crusty sludge that smells like fuel. Time to clean!!

Except for adding deluxe pedal pads which won't arrive for a few days, I finished up installing the 71-72 cable gas pedal. What a nice improvement.

Hung a door!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I sanded again and again.... Wet with 500 grit... And again and again

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Well I washed some dust off my truck and some new tires. Can't wait to get it disassembled next week for some wet sanding and 3 more coats of clear.

Finished bolting up the new-to-me 250. Had issues getting spark but changed out the condenser and points and plug wires. I was just going to bump it but low and behold she started right up! It's still a used motor, but a 100% better than I had before. I checked the old motor's valves and #2 exhaust leaked like a downspout.
Installed the hood. Now all I lack is the fenders and she'll be road worthy again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got up, drove it to work again! Life is good!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Tonight I welded up a portion of floor and also welded drivers rocker panel back on from improper install by someone else. I undercoated cab floor too. Next is refit new door again until it fits.

Went out and gave it a kiss, as I'm being accused of have it as my mistress.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I removed and replaced the lower part of the door. I still have a lot to do with it. I wish I would have just replaced the whole door!

New carpet, weatherstrip, fuzzies, steering wheel and foot gas pedal. Now to figure out what to do with the seat, and how to get the doors to close, I have them out as far as they will go.

Engine sounds good 63chevymax, nice job.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Had another great day. Salvaged a radiator out of a parting out vehicle this morning, then spent the day working on the truck with my son. This is something we enjoyed doing with his 67' Lemans last year and now we have this 63' 4x4 to work on this year..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got mine running!! Last weekend I (with a lot of help from my friends) got it to turn over, and run by pouring gas in the carb. Today she started and ran and ran! Sounded SOOO good!

Enjoy!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

cut and fabricated metal for the radiator support

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Started polishing the Custom Cab panel and did some sanding on the wood I put in almost 15 years ago to try and salvage.

Also got a line on a 383 w/ T400 to drop in and found out the new tank was ready to get a liner and the new radiator was good to go.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

What did you use to polish your Custom Cab panel? i polished one and it looks great but the other still is dull and scummy looking

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Installed plugs to block off heater hose ports, bled the brakes and drove the truck to my buddy's shop so I can start welding in the door post.

I also picked up an electric fan from a yard sale for $10. Gonna build a mount and wire it up tomorrow.

All in all, a good day.

So far I've only done a portion of one and it's turned out great so far. I've just got a polishing wheel that I borrowed from a buddy... it cuts down on time a LOT (but it does get quite messy).

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

My first post here. Picked up a 62 LWB for 300 bucks a few months back. Been working on it as a weekend project.
Anyway today got to taping it off so I could get primer shot. But as I started lost the motor on my air compressor. I took the bezels from the rear lights and front turns and tried to clean them up but tthey were in to bad a shape. What I done there was to rattle can them black to go with the Hugger orange that the truck will be painted.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

...pm me for that street sign.....my buddy would flip

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Well I got the 401M off the wooden crate and transferred it to the engine stand. Will start to clean, detail and paint it. That thing is heavy, but I do like me some GMC V-6's. I did add an extra big piece of wood in front; after this photo, for more support.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I did the front brace too, Although my stand was custom built and designed for heavy motors, I did not trust the grade 8 bolts I got from Home Depot. Who knows where THEY where made.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I finished my rear disk brake conversion after i got my calipers back from powder coat and it looks great.If I knew how to post a picture I would.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

LOL That's just a sign I "found" that originally said COUNTRY and modified it. ;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

as of today i painted some stuff and i still have to prime the inner door panels again, i'll have everything finally painted tuesday that goes on the inside!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Chad, does that piece mount to the driver inner fender? Obviously it looks like something goes there... but I could never find that piece for my truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
