Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

i think it will bolt up, i may have to drill a hole or two. called a couple places today about the chrome. no luck yet. also i still need one headlight bezel, the passenger side was rusted out. if its too much coin to chrome powder coating may be an option. thats what i did to my 66 grill.

Installed the three point harness in my 64. I will feel much safer now.

what kind of belts did you get?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I used the Juliano's three point retractable along with their attachment kit. It worked pretty good but the instructions were vague with very little details. The drivers side attached to the flat part of the floor on the drivers side. On the passengers side I had to "Open Up" the angle so it would fit the angle of the floor. This allowed the retractable end to mount vertically as it did on the driver"s side.

Got the face for my tach, it was a little big, but I was able to trim it. I think it turned out pretty good considering how little I've spent on these.

I have a few clocks in mind, might go looking this weekend. Would like to get this all done and back in the cab.

Sanding body filler last night and I will do the same tonight. Hope to have the bed done in 2 weeks!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I had rebuilt a small scooter with a BIG BORE kit and kept the old parts. I ran across the 50cc piston the other day and thought it would be cool as a suicide knob. The "tractor" knob was in two halfs. I removed the top and shaved down the bottom till it fit inside the piston. There is a small ridge inside the bottom of the piston. I used JB Quik to bond them together.

Here it is.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That gauge cluster looks great.
What gauges did you use?
I have a GMC and the cluser is different but I would switch it out if it looked as good as yours.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

All are correct factory guages to include the Tach and refaced Vac gauge.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That's RAD!!!!!! :metal:

painted some parts and cleared em.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Are re-pops sold and if so where? That is a beautiful instrument cluster.
PM me if telling me here is against the etiquette police's rules.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I purchased most everything off ebay. I used 3 different stock gauge clusters and rebuilt the best parts out of all of them.

The hard parts to find are the Tach, Tach Transmitter and Vac Gauges.

I have a ton of leftover parts that could be restored into everything except the Tach and Vac. Then when you find them you just bolt them right in.

Here are a few Gauge Clusters and a Vac Gauge on ebay now:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I was surfing through the 67-72 website here and found out the Chevy and GMC are not only a different layout, they are also different sizes. I'll have to find a different gage cluster panel and fix it up to hold the gages I want in it.
I am also converting my 63 Chevy to a GMC and that means I'll need to change the Chevy dash to GMC.
Not really a big deal as the Chevy dash is butchered beyond recognition but I'll need to make up my ever changing mind before I weld in a new dash....
Do I REALLY want to convert???:uhmk:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

There is a Chevy Dash on ebay right now too.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I'm swapping a few parts off an identical truck to mine I got for almost nothing in a trade and then I'll put it on CL for a nice profit ! haha, I like being unemployed, I make more money !

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Picked up a Holmes 440 wrecker bed for my 3/4T

Gotta massage it a bit before it fits perfectly, and maybe see how I can shed some weight off of it.

Now I need a PTO, and Manuals.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Picked up my 12bolt from coater, blast and coat $120

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Installed 2001 Tahoe seats w/ power to take advantage of the 3-point belt. First picture were some cheapy seats I picked up a while ago because the factory bench seat broke. What a difference in comfort too.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I was a tow truck driver for a short while around 1979 and I drove a 70 Chevy with the Holmes 440 on it. It never let me down (other than when I bent the front spoiler of a Cuda on a police impound call, oops).

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

took mine out and did a dump run:gmc2:
