Made a Junkyard run first thing today, found the radiator support braces I needed, and located a Stepside fender to replace the Factory one with the spare tire cutout. Got to see lots of 60-66 trucks in various states of disassembly... Gotta love rambling around junkyards with a wide variety of vehicles. Spotted a 64 Impala propped up on wheels sporting a near perfect front bumper. This place appears to be my new favorite playground.

Mocked up the wheels to get an idea of how it will look. Still have to make the right rear caliper bracket and finish the wheel tubs.

Got her out of storage in the pole barn, cleaned the windshield and parked it in the driveway, ready for another summer of driving it everywhere i go. It's been a very dependable daily driver.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Coulter, that thing looks clean! I like it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That is a very cool shot.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Had some driveability issues and replaced my ECM, much better, still working out a few bugs with the L98 TPI engine.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

What's wrong with a gun rack? There is nothin' wrong with them neked lady mud flaps neither.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Nothin wrong with a hat rack either... nor the cb mounts I had. At least, not back in the day... now it's all getting cleaned and smoothed up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Where'd you get your valve covers, I've been looking for some similar. Also very creative mount, I like the v8 logo idea

While I am waiting for my new rad to arrive did some cleaning, and de-greasing under the hood. Also cleaned up and painted the hood latch and top rad brackets and alternator bracket.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got the throttle cable and assembly installed. Had to use the throttle assembly from the 61 and use it on the 63 linkage to make it work. The 235 and the 230 had different linkage. Just have to drill the hole and mount the cable on the dash now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Getting ready for my p/s install. Rebuilt the pump, cleaned and painted everything.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I replaced my center crossmember with a new dropped one from CPP.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I just had a 700R4, Ididit column shift column, and power disc brakes put on. Its like a brand new truck. Took it by the alignment shop and had the wheels balanced also. I can now cruise at 75-80 with no problems. Worth every penny....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

bobbylast how do the porta walls hold up on them tires. Ive seen them on VWs with the thinner tires. I heard they make noises at high speeds..is that true..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That dash and steering wheel/column are are a converted touchdown sir!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Did that steering wheel come with the column?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks... It is a re pop wheel we painted to match..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Is it the black steering wheel that they offer on LMC, Classic Parts etc?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I just got home from seeing my new 383 SBC on the engine dyno at Richmond Engines here in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.
Initial pulls of around 500 HP but hoping for 525 HP after some tweaking of the timing and jetting of the carburetor.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Boxed in the drip rail.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I went to the shop to get a tow dolly. I have been getting the truck ready to tow to the shop for painting. I have been button up this and that to get ready for it tomorrow and I line the dolly up and my wheels are too wide.. Now I have to go up to the shop and get stock wheels so it will fit on the dolly.. That is 120 mile round trip.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I've been working on the interior... Finished the steering column (Chromed Original Column), Factory A/C controlls and some other odd's and end's. What do you guys think?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That looks sick chevyguy

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That turned out great, nice job!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Nice detail work. The white cluster with all the chrome really pops. I really like the seat as well.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks! I recovered the seat myself. It really wasn't that hard and turned out great! Here is a pic of the whole seat.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Looks great........Very nice job ;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Man is that ever nice and the Chevrolet wood grain piece across the lower glove box really looks good too.
