Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks for the comment. I'm glad to have an option other than the GMC letters.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks for the springs links Mark. I don't have a anchor point for the strap, so I'll use the method that one of the members said by pivoting the assembly forward and reset the rear bolt, seems safer for me that way.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I picked up a short step side Saturday and had it stripped down to the cab by yesterday afternoon.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Whats your plans for this one LT..?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That's pretty neat. Something different, anyway!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Didn't really do a lot, but I took it to a car cruise in Weston over the weekend. For most of the trip there was no traffic coming or going on this little highway. Nothing but a railroad track to the left, and crop fields and trees to the right. It was like I had been transported to the mid-1960s. It probably sounds dumb, but it was the most enjoyable drive I've taken in a long time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

put junior to work with the SOS pads ($10 per cap, that's not child labor is it?)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Removed ugly, rusty, mismatched wheels and replaced with some 15 x 8 Rallys.

Was going to just replace windshield rubber with new but once I got it all out I decided to use a new glass that I had bought for my '64' project.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Didn't do anything to my truck today, but went and looked at this 66 2wd 4spd manual with a 305, $1,000 as is or rebuild a 350TBi engine for him, not sure if I need more projects.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks, shortbox!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That's 66 does look good seems to be in pretty good shape. How about that 6061 in the background is it in good shape also? nice find.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Well, not actually today but on Saturday 7/28 the local Self Serve Wrecking Yard had a 1/2 off sale. I picked up a Mark VIII cooling fan & a Ford Taurus cooling fan @ $14.00 each but my Big Score??? I found a pair of A/C vents out of a 1964 Chrysler for $3.00 ea.!! I NEVER liked the cheap a$$ plastic vents supplied by Vintage Air. These Chrysler vents are real metal & are chrome plated and look SWEET!! Granted I have at least a couple of hours of cleaning & polishing these vents but I think they look great - at least it's a 150% improvement over the Cheap Plastic Vents that are supplied by Vintage Air. Oh, I also scored a SI 2 alternator for another $7.00. Yep I'm a happy camper.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Sounds like the "deal of the day" to me, nice score shortbox

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

junior finished cleaning up the center caps, so on they went
I am a little biased, but I think they look great, he did a really nice job on them
have ordered a set of stickers to go on them, should be here in a week or two, they are black with a silver bowtie outline

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

So Craig - with all his hard work when is he going to be able to DRIVE the truck so he can really benefit from his work?
The truck looks great by the way.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

He really is a great young guy, but alas, he is 12, he will be waiting another 4 years or so! My daughter drove it once... have a look see

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Craig,
For her very first time driving a stick she did darn good!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Damn Terry,

You are the Pick 'n Pull king! Those are the PERFECT vents for our trucks. I'll have to add those to my swap meet list. Congrats!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Ordered my springs and lowered shocks today from CCP. I'll end up with 3 1/2 front 4 rear drop, now to find the right wheels!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Lne of my twins drive my truck for the first time, never drove a standard before, did well.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Today we'll connect the new gas delivery system, mount the valve covers and fire it up. New windshield proved to be too much for the glass installers yesterday, the chrome strips kept messing them up. They'll try again today. We have a bunch of little stuff that needs to be done today and tomorrow if I'm going to drive it to Carlisle Saturday.

Wish me luck!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

New windshield is in I'm told. I haven't seen it yet, wasn't able to make it down to the shop Thursday. I'll be there this afternoon though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Ordered Tonneau Cover from LMC

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

After Stripping 40+ years of really bad ideas, Paint Choices and hack body work i am pleased to announce I am now 1/16 of the way done with my C10.
I just finished the DP90 Primer, I bought this truck for $700.00 non running in a field, Bought the brothers 3" 5" lowering springs and shocks from the same guy for $200 last week, stripped entire truck inside and out, fixed cancer doors and rockers, and more damn mirror holes than you can imagine. here she is as i left her at 9:00 P.M. Mountain time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Well thanks for the inspiration, nice truck. Just made a deal on a 66 2wd with a 305/4spd manual tonight and will store the truck for me a while till I have time.

Lots of work again and will take away from my 71 4x4, but at least I have another cool 2wd to lower.:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Went looking for parts for my 66. The only thing I found was a WAY overpriced whole truck that looked like it had been through a war.

I desperately need a hood!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Actually no real wrk done, but did score a set of buckets seats at a yard sale this morning for $25. They are from a Chrysler mini van 2nd or 3rd row, but will work great as the rear seats in the 'Burb. Will post pics in my build thread.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
