Just ordered a new grille from LMC, should have it Wednesday the 29th. Before we put it in we will paint the white accent that surrounds it. I have noticed alot of guys leave that area body color, I think it looks better white, and apparently the factory did too!

I did. It was in the classifieds on this site for 4 weeks with less than no interest.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Set the bed on the truck still lots to do but it is starting to look like a pickup.

Completed ding and dent repairs on the passenger side of the firewall, sprayed the bare metal areas with etch primer, and finished most of the sanding. Also fabricated new gaskets and mounted the heater plates. Pulled the carb and distributor (for open access) as the last task for today. If all goes according to schedule I’ll finish sanding the area behind the engine tomorrow, mask on Thursday and spray on Friday.

I broke a bolt off while removing my t-stat housing :-(

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Hey Mark that's about as well thought out as anything I've ever seen, you and your son should market those I sure would buy one. The only machinest I know is my nephew and he's in Minnesota. Anyway that's about as cool as it gets stealth-wise Corvette valve covers are cool and retro. Thanks for the link...Vernski:metal:

Still scraping old paint off the frame, but finaly got the engine pulled out this morning.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finally got the 406 running well, (timing issue) fixed the tranny leak (stupid cheap dipstick), mounted and plumbed power steering pump....took her for a drive and......NO BRAKES....bad way to find this out!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Put on the "Custom" sail panel trim pieces from my other truck. I know, they aren't original to this truck, but I really dig the way they look. Plus I had them so might as well use them, right?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Love the valve covers, the truck is looking great, could you use those valve covers and the mods on a TB 350, mine has bolts holding the valve covers down in the middle of the cover ? :gmc2:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I assume the conversion would work if either the heads were swapped to early versions, or by using a pair of centerline to perimeter adapters like these:

I’m not familiar with the vacuum ports on the later manifolds so those connections may require minor attention.
