Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Really like this car!! I just bought a 72 off from Craigs List. It's under restoration now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Shoot, glo....
That looks to be a real clean lil Nova....Blue vinyl and matching interior.
That's got a ton of potential.

It looks like those are Oregon plates....
Did ya buy locally or drive cross country...?

As far as my truck goes....I took the '66 and brought home a generator for a special project....and then...I also used it as a saw-horse.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finished rewelding my pass side rocker on properly and repaired floor mount then sealed/primed and undercoated the bottom of pass side floor and inner rocker then fitted my door so it is close but need a bit more hinge work, the new busings helped too, will post pics when done door.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I really sympathize with you. Over the years I’ve had a variety of electric fuel pumps from dirt cheap to very expensive. Regardless of brand, type or orientation of filters I’ve never owned one that didn’t fail – eventually. I’d love to have an electric pump right now to assist in starting after the truck sits for several days, but I just can’t tolerate the dependability of electric pump failures.

By comparison, my mechanical pump has been in place for 20 years and still works fine.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yep, if I ever put another engine in it, I will more than likely get an older one with the mechanical pump on the side like the SBC engineer team from the 1950's intended. ;)

p.s. read my truck site in sig line if ya want details about my plain jane motor.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Install new rear cross sill on my 64

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Fixed the interior light, learned in the process that the light switch needs replacing. Looped my heater hoses together so that my next job can be to remove and restore the heater box.

Hey, can I just plug the heater inlet/outlet at the water pump?

Also, installed a new steering wheel, the old walnut wheel was coming apart a bit ( got a few nasty pinches from that one). Not thrilled with how that turned out. Previous owner installed a horn button on the steering column, when I got it all back together the horn just wants to blow. Must be a short that he had and didn't want to spend the time on. Will need to pull it all apart again and find the trouble.

First real day in the grudge with my new toy:clap:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yes you can. Just install a correct size pipe plug in both the water pump and the intake manifold. The engine and water pump don't care if they are connnected to a heater or not.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I got my front sway bar installed. It took me much longer than I expected so I never got to the rear coils. Still need to cinch all of the mounts up, but here is the bar and the new front coils. I love how it sits now.:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

You sure can. Just pick up some 1/2 pipe plugs. I bought the recessed kind. Work like a charm and really cleaned up my heaterless engine bay.

BTW, I got my electric fan conversion almost done. Just need to put the relay in.

I also sanblasted, primed and painted all of the pulleys and brackets on the engine this weekend. I used single stage gloss black from dupont.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I didnt even kno they made swaybars for these trucks o_O

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Most of the aftermarket guys do. I'm too cheap so I got a 1 1/4" bar off of a 78 1 ton at the Pick 'n Pull. I bought the mounting bracket from Early Classic Enterprises and got the bushings from Ebay. All in all, I have less than $80 into it. Just had to drill a couple of holes in the frame.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Took mine for the first drive in almost 10 years! It was only down the road a bit and back, but it was under her own power!

Still having issues with the clutch, timing, brakes, and electrical, but it's moving along!!

Took the hose to it too, so we don't get dirty every time we just look at it.

She looks good sitting in the sun!

Not going to get very far with that gas tank though! LOL

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks mark

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got some work finally started on the body today. Been off the project the last few months with disassembly on the parts truck and work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

i did all of this in the last 2 weeks
i got a tailgate and put it on, i painted my inner doors, put a mirror on, shortened my column 4 inches and painted and installed steering wheel. also sanded my grill to bare metal and clear coated the crap out of it. it has been a wonderfully busy month. i get bullet caps in the mail from summit on tuesday and i will be making some whitewalls this week....anybody got some 3 drop spindles for 73 to 87?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Are you shaving your own whitewalls?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I like it Jason.
I won't pass up a chance to drive mine....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I need to find or make a brush guard like that A.T.!! I know they were an option, but do you know how common they are? It looks great on your truck, and I think it would look awesome with the 60/61 hood I have!

Your truck is high up on the list of my favorites on here! :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got some paint on the old girl... I am very happy with the color and the quality! If the pic's are sideways, I'm sorry.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

The white in behind the front grill area is a nice touch. Today I had a body man look at the rocker I lowered on the drivers side that was installed wrong and thought it was good work but the pass side is even worse so cut the inner, outer rocker out and cab corner, it was in too far and up to high also had a twist, so waiting for parts. Also welded up antenna hole.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Tried to start the 6 cylinder in my 62 C10... emphasis on "tried".

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Test fit the cab.
