Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I installed the rechromed grill and emblems, new seat, petronix ignition. I then drove it about 50 miles around town and my Kids REALLY liked it. Though I still ahve to figure out how to get the crop out of the vent boxes

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Installed 3 inch lowering springs in the rear of the Suburban. Front was lowered previously, but the rear was left stock.

Definitely lowered the rear, maybe not the 3 inches, but makes her more balanced now. Can't believe that's the best before picture I have . .

Love the new seat. where did you purchase the material? did you order just the cover?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Shoot, I'm sure partial to the early GMC's.
That looks great.
As far as the carp in the vent boxes.....mine loosened up (and went up up my wifes skirt) at around 70 mph.
That happened shortly after I R & R'd the vent doors for new gaskets and paint.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

rebuilt brake pedal asmbly, ran the rear wire's to the tank and rear tail lights, American Autowire Kit (excellent kit) Need to decide on paint color

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I ordered the material fro SMC in Portland (though I have been trying to get some closer) and had a upolstery shop copy the pattern from the stock seat using boat soft material same pattern and color as the OEm but softer. The orig seat was in good/ great shape except the foam was gone. I knew if I repadded the seat the fabric would tear in 3 months and I would have to start over so I just bit the bullet and did it now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I pulled my hood and started cleaning 46 years of crud an grime off ot the underside getting it ready to paint. I plan on running the turn signal wires under the inner structure to clean up the looks a little bit.

Looks like you have some cool projects in the back ground.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Well, I looked at it when I dropped off a load of parts at the shop. :( Trying to get the house cleaned out for a party this weekend, and after working on replacing floors it is quite a mess. Oh well, hopefully a week or two from now I can get back on the pickup.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I got to play while the wife was away!

I installed a new speedo cable and figured out other reasons why my speedo didn't work. Installed new wiper arms and blades and finally installed new window anti-rattle kit for both doors. I definitely enjoy working on my newly acquired bucket. ('64 GMC Long Fleet)
