Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That looks so awesome... I want to copy that idea, do you mind??? I would make it a different design, but I absolutely love the barn board, and the 66 plate!!! Outstanding. I have a 66 plate on a bulkhead in my basement bar, and know where I can get more.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Installed Warn unlock hubs. Dropped the gas tank and took it to a radiator shop to be pressure tested, if it passes they'll boil it out. If not, I'll have to buy a new 1.

Installed new gas lines from the tank area to the engine. Took off the inner door panels, cleaned and greased the mechanisms. The windows ride and the doors unlatch much better.

Put in a new Optima battery.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Not that is is like a major modification like most of you guys, but I had these magnetic signs and vinyl banners made up to promote my blog. I figured I could use the magnets at car shows or whatever, and I was thinking about entering the local parade next month and using the banners. I guess I could also hang them on a fence if that opportunity came up. Anway, no biggie, but I thought they turned out kinda neat ...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That burnt orange or copper color is just beautiful, so nice in that light.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Swapped the 64 grille for a 61 dual headlight grille.

Installed an electric fan

Installed a set of 05 Tahoe bucket seats

Tomorrow I am going to see if it starts and if it does, I am hoping it doesn't have any leaks and it actually runs.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Tweak the air lines a bit, received more verbal lashing from the wife about working on truck so much.:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Changed oil and air filter in the 283. Greased all the zirks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yes, did one. Wanting to find the extent of the white rubber on the sidewall of a skinny WW.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Since it has the "really Old School Look" why may an antique style lock for show and use a modern lock when out and about.

Such as this?

Cool, Marty there is an antique shop on 8, on the way to sauble on the right hand side, a little more than half way to sauble from hepworth... maybe they have something cool there

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I swapped out my old cracked valve cover for a nice new dress up chrome one!! Looks pretty. Question for u guys tho: I have 3 holes in the new valve cover. My new breather cap is in the front one just like it was. The hose is going in the back one just like it was. Below the front hole tho, on the driver side of the valve cover is another same size hole. I have nothing to put in it. Is it a oil filler hole maybe? If so what do I put in it while it's running? I'm assuming it has to be plugged. HELP??!!!!!

It's a 230 Chevy L6. 63 Chevy c10 short/step. Thanx men:metal:

Lowered my '63 with a 5/4 drop.

Ended up having to cut the front spring by one full coil to get it to level out.

Looks sick now. So excited.


Hopefully this weekend I'll get my front sway bar on.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

We adjusted the brakes out, then took her for a drive around the neighborhood, and she stops now!!

Then we pulled off both diff covers to verify if when a P.O. swapped out the rear axle, they matched the front. From what I can tell they are the same, but I have to find some info to make sure.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yes I know the place , only 10 minutes from home I will check it out, going to go rumagew through the barn again may find something there. If your ever up thos way send me a pm and we can meet up. They have a real good cruise night at thd beach on Tuesday nights, 100 plus cars in July and Aug. Sandfest show in August is a good one too over 400 last year. I'll do the same if I get down Cambridge way

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
