Drilled out some broken body bolts and retapped them. Waiting on new AC compressor to arrive, UPS truck from back east got snowed in for 4 days. Trying to figure out where to put the horns. Stock locations on either side of the radiator mount on engine side are filled with wiring relays, wiper fluid bottle (driver side) and AC stuff (passenger). Don't really want to mount it on front of radiator where it will be exposed to rain and snow...

It's funny how a little bit of snow in the Ohio Valley shut's every thing down:lol:

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
 

Fixed something that has been bugging me since I first got my truck. The PO had put a cheap set of gauges below the dash, and the stock oil pressure gauge in the dash works as well. The gauge below the dash would show, on a hot day, about 35lbs max and about 10lbs at idle. Since it is a 100lb gauge, 10lbs is way down at the bottom near "0". A little disconcerting to say the least! I had always wondered about the air in the line affecting the reading, so yesterday I disconnected the line and started the engine and cleared the air out. Hooked the gauge back up and same/same, no difference at all. So I guess oil pressure and air pressure are the same to the gauge. Then I installed a new oil pressure gauge I had in the garage for quite some time, thinking it might read different. Bingo! idles at 20lbs and runs at 45 when hot. Also corresponds to the stock gauge in the dash, which does not have numbers, just three dots, I'm assuming it is a 60lb gauge.... Just a mental deal, I guess, but seeing that needle down near the bottom when stopped at a light is not fun. All is well now!

Ok, so today we finished up the e-brake. The last step before getting the state inspection. I ran it down and it passed with no problem so I got to drive it for the first time since we started the resto 14 months ago. Here are pics of the finished truck!

Darn you have me second guessing my color choice, my truck was originally the same as yours and my interior would match. Up to now I have been leaning on darker blue green stock color.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
 

Nice color :-)

Work on the truck has been slow. Just been ordering a few thing for it. But i did finally get some time today to do a few things. First installed my drop spindles and springs.

We got the rear end out and dropped off at Hudlow to be shortened.

Great job Bebop, sweet looking ride and beautiful details.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
 

Decided to take out the rusty old exhaust and replace with 2.5" stainless steel. I already had 23" cherry bombs on there and liked the sound, so I ordered a nice new set from jegs. Can't beat $28 each with free shipping

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
 

Picked up a sheet of lauan wood, a gallon a landau top glue and 3yards of marine vinyl to start the door panels and head liner.

What kind of vehicle is that seat out of? I want something with 3 seat belts. THanks.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
 

Looks like '88-'98 Chevy truck to me.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
 

Started replacing rusted out parts of the cab. We made a new floor piece to start. Next thing we are going to do is work on the lower door post and inner step. Lots of sitting, staring, thinking, re-thinking... Hopefully the pace picks up a bit more now.

Also, my brother was over today working on his Model A truck cab. He decided a while back that he was going to stretch the doors (and ultimately the cab) by 4 inches. So far it's turning out really cool, but he has a ways to go yet.

Compressor #2 installed, one fitting to finish. Will be here later in the week, then can do a vacuum check.
