Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

These are from a few days ago, I haven't put up any new pictures of what we've done over the past month or two. We put in new bucket seats from an 2001 silverado, a new steering wheel that we don't really know where it came off of, but it looks nice, we put in armrests too, we also put in a manual choke, and we've done a few personal touches that not everyone will like, but that's why it's my truck haha.

The new seats we put in. So much better then my original bench seat.

What it looks like from the front.

From the other side.

The manual choke from o'reillys we picked up and finally put in. So much easier not having to tap the gas pedal over and over again until it's warmed up.

The steering wheel we bought and put in. So much better than the monster of a wheel we originally had.

This is the personal touch I was talking about. These pedals are off of base pedals from a drumset and we thought it would be a nice cool little touch for my truck. Not everyone is gonna like them, but again that's why it's my truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Well as much as I hate to say it, I put it in storage today. The weather in Michgan is going south and the cold has come. I don't have the luxury of a nice place to work in the winter time, so I put it away today. I will check on it from time to time and get it back out when they stop spreading salt.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Waited on the rain to let up.. It did not stop so i waited on that big brown truck to show up.. I got my c notch from cpp and my 2 inch blocks from them also..

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Thanks ups for a on time delivery

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got any pics of your truck?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Today it was a covered truck and a decorated tree.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Changed the plugs, wires, cap and rotor. I'm surprised the thing ran. There was a spider nest in my cap and the plugs had so much build up they looked solid. The wires were so old they stayed formed in the shape they had been in for years when I pulled them off. Two of the plugs were Valley Forge brand, anyone ever hear of them?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I have ordered so much stuff for my truck lately the UPS man eats lunch with me sometimes lol. I have 17 boxes of stuff sitting at the house waiting on me. I need to start a build thread I guess.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

went to the junkyard and found a tailgate, installed it and the back bumper I got from another junkyard run, oh I also installed my 1968 license plate I got off ebay.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

new carpet/kick panel cover, steam cleaned the old seat, new defrost vents, glove box, door panels, armrests (now I can shut the door from the inside!) and sill plates. Yipee

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

used it to get some firewood.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

nice tree but why r u covering your truck?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

It's been raining here in LaLa Land (hard to believe but true) so I walked out to it , fired it up and drove off.......

:lol:

It's a nice rain driver in spite of the rust holes in the upper cowl that drips water onto the floor mat .

Nice and comfy , good vision of the Native Born Californians who , amazingly enough , speed up in the rain ("gotta get out of this rain , Nate") then act surprised when they spin out all over the place .

Even well past midnight all the So. Cal. Freeways were closed here & there with multiple vehicle pile ups , I motored on past sedately @ 55 ~ 60 MPH , radio playing softly , heater on low , elbow out the open driver's side window ~ the Cali. rain is *so* soft and warm , it's actually enjoyable to drive it in most of the time .

:chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Nicely worded Nate.
And I never would have guessed that beautiful truck has rust holes!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

put in my new carpet and gas tank cover....but for some reason i cant upload the pics? and drank a bunch of beer while doing it :chevy:

Re : What did you do to your truck today!
 

MMMMMMMMmmmmmmm cold BEER ! :metal: .

It does look very nice but needs rust repairs .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

(Yesterday) Finished my HEI conversion thanks to the good advice located in this here forum. Replaced the distributor, wires, coil, plugs and added some wire guides. Ended up having to go back to zero to get it started but then it fired off first go.

So then I washed it and drove it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Hummmmm....

1) I'm not driving it while the weather is ugly. That may not answer the question.

2) I don't use it as a daily driver...But that may not answer the question, either.

2a) I just washed and spruced up everything under the hood. Not a good answer, either, probably.

3) I got into the habit of covering it for cat, leaves, birds, and weather reasons while I was building it inside.
Right or wrong, I guess I'm just a man of habits. (I proved that in a bad way until September of 1981 :lol:)

4) But, probably the best answer is that I just wanted to.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Drove it to church then took some pictures and posted them on here.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

What a great rig you have there!:chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Installed a Detroit Locker unit. Everything went together almost as planned. It locks/unlocks the way it should, but I didn't mark the preload adjusters properly before I took them out! Next step is determining if I want to try that myself or take it to a shop.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Absolutely no apology required. It's all in fun.:mm:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

It's been awhile, but I bought myself some early Christmas gifts. The last month I got the engine reassembled and installed and was able to at least fire it up (not fully running yet). All the glass is installed and today I pinstriped the sides were the body moldings go (it is allot cheaper) for now. New american Racing wheels will be here on Monday, then I can get them mounted up. It's not for show but it's all mine.

My Dad came over and together we cleaned more gunk off my engine and disassembled enough stuff to realize the timing chain needs to be replaced. It's always fun working with my Dad, even if I'm 42 years old now.:chevy:
