Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Hey all!
I'm a newbie! Well actually I've been cruisin the forum for a while, but finally decided to register. Dadsworktruck (my dad) and I removed rusty rear cross members, shock mounts, and front bed mounts from "one-piece" yesterday. I blasted the 2 flat bed mounting plates today since they were salvageable, and painted them satin black. Did some other work in the shop as well as some sanding on the rear of the cab and hole/dent repairs around the passenger side rear of the cab. Hopefully we can make ole one-piece look pretty decent with a little time and alot of sweat and busted knuckles.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Pick up a new bumper from Bow Tie bits the other day. They have great prices. It was a very nice day so I decided to tackle it. I also removed the tow hitch since I wont ever be towing with this truck ever lol.
Old bumper off http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3...3/DSCN0853.jpg Huge dent on the right side. Tired of looking at it. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3...3/DSCN0855.jpg Hitch gone and new bumper on! So much better. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3...3/DSCN0858.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3...3/DSCN0859.jpg |

Well a couple of days ago, I mounted the 9 way power seat switches for the Pontiac Bonneville bucket seats in the wood console on the 67 C10. did I mention they are gray leather? Found them on Craigslist for a hundred bucks.

Did a little cleaning and painting on the frame today.. TSC Implement Low Gloss Black with hardener and Mineral Spirits through the HF: HVLP.
Funny side note on that HF gun... I was talking with DWT earlier how good it has been, and not even 20 minutes later the stud flies out of the trigger... lol. *Go figure* Before: http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSC00001.jpg After: http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSC00010.jpg http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSC00005.jpg http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSC00004.jpg You can barely see him, but that's Dadsworktruck under there sprayin' the underside of the Frame :D |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Coupla days ago Christmas to be exact I took the dog on an impromptu drive to the inlaws. On the drive home I smelled what I thoght to be canine flatulence. Turns out I was wrong. It was canine (St. Bernard) excrement. After realizing my predicament I pulled over and removed said feces and had a heart to heart with Fido. Unfortunately said dog had proceeded to walk around in her "little" Christmas present to me before I understood the situation. After returning home I got to spend the next hour shampooing the back of the burb. Theres an arguement for vinyle over carpet anyday. :lol:
