JJ, you know I love your truck but what are your plans? Are you turning it into a GMC step side or maybe a GMC Suburban Carrier? Those are more rare than hen's teeth as I'm sure you know.

I thought you'd posted awhile ago that you intended to make your truck into a Cameo, but now I'm a bit confused. She's still a GREAT looking truck!

Dang Softpatch, I think what you really need is a few more leaf springs. What was that thing hauling, all the steel to build the Titanic?

My cab had been smelling like gasoline when I would fuel up. Large hose would leak no matter how tight the clamp was. So I ordered a set of hoses, and a new filler neck grommet, as the 60 yr old original was looking a bit tired.... Got them off the internet from Grumpys parts in Arizona. They arrived in two days! Hoses and grommet fit perfectly, just a bit of grunting, and a little lube, to get them on. 81 deg and 50% humidity here in So Cal today, actually had a tiny bit of rain!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Thanks JJ.
Are you missing pieces to complete the Cameo conversion?

Since you're wheels are orange I'm wondering what your eventual final color scheme is planned to be? Orange two tone could look great. A little like a 50-50 bar!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I like the direction this truck is going. I was looking for a truck with a six in it when I bought mine.

Noticed an oil spot on the floor under the right rear wheel, so decided to find out what's up.
Found grease seal was leaking & wheel bearing was real noisy. When I pulled it apart, the axle out, the bearing rollers fell out of the cage and rolled down the axle tube into the diff.
So after replacing bearings, seals & brakes on both sides plus draining the diff & removing the bearing rollers, today its off to the tile store to get tile for a bathroom remodel

Fixed the dash for the radio, put 2 fender washers in the new holes i just cut to fix the ugly that was left behind.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Looking at the radio photo for some reason the ground metal looked like old fashioned clear glass cabinet knobs. They're not but then I thought, "...that might be cool!"

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Took my wife out for dinner last night in the truck. She enjoyed the re done interior and the quieter exhaust. Woo hoo - points for me !!!

Worked on the door edge, getting close.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Worked on the door some more. Took a break and did the paint and body work on this 1940's desk we scored at a yard sale. Cannot believe the 60 year old melamine top survived (did take an hour and a half to get the old tape off with laquer thinner).
