Dang!

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!

Finally got my truck home after it caught on fire 4 months ago. I have a bunch of new goodies waiting to go in.

I picked up a set of buddy buckets from a forum member last month and just got my seats back today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

How did the fire start? Glad to hear you are saving her!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Looks like most of the fire was at the back of the engine and firewall. I even had flames shooting up through the floor shifter. I think it was all the oil and trans fluid everywhere and I smelt oil just before it happened. It sucks but gave me a good excuse to buy a new motor and interior. Still dont know if im keeping the th350 or going to a 700r4.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Man sad fire but glad your fixin it, nice to save it, I would go for the 700r4, why not have a lower first and also 4th for mileage.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Drove mine as I do every day and put in a new heater core now that its getting cold down under

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That looks great!

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.

Do you know of anyone who sends the old GMC/Chevys (60-66) to the U.S. and what is involved?
I would love a right hand drive truck.

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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I repainted my 1976 c-10 custom deluxe chevy pickup truck. I still need to put a couple more coats of paint and clear coat. :chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Man those look awesome!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

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...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finished the dash today. Rebuilt the A/C vent assembly, mounted the ashtray and the flarestat. Almost done....

That truck looks good. Great Job!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Almost forgot... Also, mounted the grill (still has the original factory T3 headlights) and parking lights.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

got my drop spindles today!!!!! going to buy ball joints tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

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!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I like the black much better

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

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?
 

Polished and mounted up my Boyds tank.

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?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That wheel looks awesome! Can I have it? Please...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks for the input, I will go with black to start. Have a line on some beauty rings, going to have a look at them this week. Still hunting for centre caps.
