Thanks, hey, you and I talked about rubber recently too. I now have my 225/60R15's on the front, 295/50R15's for the back not due in for 2 more weeks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Those are going to be some big rears! Let me know how they work out. I like that wide look in the back... Of the truck. :)

Will do, and found a Camaro with 295/50R15's on the back at a cruise night, they looked great, but photo's I took did not do them justice

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yesterday, I test fit the inner fenders to the core support. Fit great!

Then I removed the interior in prep for removing the cab and started removing the steering column so I can shorten it.

Not too much but, still, progress.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Installed a complete lock set ( doors, glove box ignition) and installed new felts and rubbers on passenger door on the suburban. Oh ya and put a new ignition switch.

I put the new front park brake cable in but something is missing and I can't remember what the part looks like or i routed it wrong. This is under the dash where it hooks up to the handle.
I also installed the flexplate I just got on the engine and mated the tranny up with it. It is just sitting on the floor waiting to get installed into the truck. Now I just have to get the truck home so i can do this.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Its just a u shaped bracket John that slips over the end of the cable I believe...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Just took old blue out for a trip to the bank ,put maybe 10 miles on it ...fun fun fun

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

The gray primer - light blue paint - dark blue paint comes thru great.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Let me rephrase that. It is the part that holds the housing so you can put tention on the cable. It has been about 6 years since I took it apart. I can't remember what I did yesterday.. :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Met up with my son who handed over some custom aluminum and brass punches he whittled up for me. Now I can get restarted on the windshield trim project. My old steel punches are too big and beat up for such delicate work, and the wood I have available doesn’t hold up long enough. I probably won’t have much need for the big ones on the left, but you never know:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Tonight I drove my truck to the car club meeting and showed the guy's for the first time, so now about 1.5hrs total driving, working just great, love this beast, especially the 460.:gmc2:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Coming up on owning my 66 for one year in a couple days and took it for its first drive, about 30 miles and no problems !!:metal: cant wait for tomorrow to put some more miles on it

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Bought '87 4x4 Burb front & rear axles complete with brakes and springs for my '63 4x4 Burb.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Knocked all the dents out of the new wide windshield trim.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finally got my hands on my new beauty rings. The guy was quite upset as he sells the center caps I want, but was out of stock, so I will get the center caps in a couple of weeks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

What center caps are they?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

And what brand and size beauty rings are those? They really are beautiful! (No pun intended). I like how deep they look with the smooth corner. Early Vette rings like those have a hard corner. Yours look really custom.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Sadly the rings are offshore. They are stainless steel, and triple plated, box says they are good for 15x8, or 15x10 wheels (mine are 15x8), they are a 3" deep dish, I am so pleased with how the look. I thought they were a good deal @ 110.00 tax in, and I met the guy on his way to another show, which gave me an excuse to take my truck for an afternoon spin!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

center caps are going to look like these, except 6 lug, unfortunately they will be plastic, but I understand that is all you can get unless you get the 4x4 ones, then you have two that say 4x4, and two that are open, and they are relatively big$$$

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Changed my ignition module in my new a couple of hundred miles ago Proform distrib, china junk I found out, not impressed, installed a used Gm module and fine now. Buy Gm or MSD or something better next time, lesson learned.:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

What kind of symptoms did you have ignition module (no spark, intermittent spark)?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Eagle Flight Wheel Trim, Memphis TN, Item#4543, but made in Taiwan

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I couldn't decide if I liked red or flat black so this is what I came up with.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Drove down from Northern Arizona about 320 miles to Tucson and loaded it up on a car dolly and towed it back home.

So now I get to piddle on it and finish off a laundry list of little things to get it running again.

It was down at my brother's for an engine/transmission swap.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I bought my truck a new tool! Electric impact wrench with an electronic ft/lb setting on it!!! How cool is that???? Won't trust that for delicate stuff, but I am sure that will come in handy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Brought it back to the house so i can work on it and still have enough room to do customer stuff at the shop.

Pulled the rear axles and drums, so they're off to the machine shop tomorrow to get re-drilled for 5 lugs. Got the valve covers painted

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

After repairing the washing machine for my wife (the cold water valve wasn't opening) I was able to work on my 64. I Finally finished the retrofit of my Ford Windshield washer system into my 64 C-10. I used a Ford truck washer/radiator overflow tank out of a truck, used the squirter nozzels out of that same truck and picked up a used 64 - 66 Chevy truck 2 SPD wiper washer switch off eRape. I used the factory dimples in the firewall to drill my holes for my squirter nozzels, I removed the cowl and had to clearance (cut) out a little slice of lip that the cowl covers anyway. I also had to readjust the squirt nozzels using a 1/4" box end wrench to get the nozzels to squirt the proper height and to shoot between the vent slats in the cowl. I ran a fused hot to the pump - the washer pump switch completes the ground activating the pump. The hardest part of the whole process was adjusting the nozzels. A very slight tweek goes a long way. I'm happy & my wife's happy it was a win - win day for me.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

After a year and a bit, and all new suspension, I put the box back on my 64 GMC. Yahoo!!!!!
