Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I have been working so much lately I haven't spent much time on the truck. My 11 year finally spoke up tonight and said "Please tell me we are working on the truck this weekend!"
:) Can't say no to that! Steven |
Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Finally got my truck home after it caught on fire 4 months ago. I have a bunch of new goodies waiting to go in.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got the whole front clip disassembled and pressure washed.
Removed a bunch of the paint off the inner fenders and started welding up two holes in the passenger side one. Then, I pressure washed the frame and engine. Next up, taking the inner fenders and some other parts to have the rest of the paint and lousy undercoating job blasted off. Bad news is the core support is really in bad shape. :( As it turns out, there are only about three panels on the whole truck that won't need rust repair. Steven |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I finally pulled out the truck from its resting place and cleaned it up. Now I just have to get the 235hp inline 6 to work. Trying to keep it stock.

Replaced ball joints, tie rod ends, shocks, installed drop spindles, drop springs and added disc brakes. Tomorrow will be master cylinder, booster, lines, sway bar, rear drop springs, blocks and shocks.

In 90 plus heat and sunshine, with help from a friend and another friend's Snap-On Electric Impact, we were able to procure the front x-member and all steering components as well as the Rear-End which we'll adapt for the 1965 to 5 lugs and power disc rakes up front...

painted one of my new wheels black, and one silver (leaning towards black), you have to imagine the P245 60 15 T/A's (blackwall out), the chrome beauty rings, and center caps.
They are, as I have learned, late 70's to early 80's 4WD wheels. |
Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Changed my headlight switch, and put the new knob/rod in.
Then drove the kid to soccer, lost 6-4.... but she had fun! |

Got my 66 wheel painted the other day. I sandblasted it. Wont do that again. Made it way to rough and it exposed some of the steel core. The next one i will sand only. However i did clear coat it and it feels very smooth. Just looks rough. I am worried how long it will hold up to dirty hands and UV. We will see!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Nice steering wheel....regarding restoring them, is a special paint used to hold up to the contant handling? Maybe wrap it in a nice grip cover to prevent rubbing off the paint? What steps are taken for durability?
