Pulled the cover back briefly to show some friends who stopped by. Also did the weekly "John's Old Truck" blog post today (http://www.JohnsOldTruck.com), about the video we made the day we finally got it running again back in July. Can't believe how many hits it's getting! Very cool...

I continued to work on my custom kick panels that will house my 6.5 speakers. I have some sanding left than I can paint them or cover them in fabric.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Didn't do it today, did it last week. Got the front end lowered by removing two leafs of each front corner. Here's before and after pic. Pretty happy with it, not too low still usable, feels good. Ordered the new rear fenders yesterday and hope to have them tomorow or sat. Once they are on I can build the side gates. Then it's time to finish the body work on the other cab I have in the driveway. slowly but surely she's coming along.
Thank you to everyone on here for thier help, opinions and tech advice. Before http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4.../newstance.jpg After http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...weredfront.jpg |

Fredo,
Looks very nice. Maybe I missed it but how did you lower your rear? Oh and which of the leaves did you remove? Any rubbing issues on turns or driveways? |

On the front counting up from the axle I removed the first and third leaf. News hocks all the way around. |

No rubbing?

Replaced the internal wiring harness on the 4L60-E ( the donor vehicle was hit on the right side and broke the plug). Next step is install shift cable from the IDIDIT column.
Going with an F-body radiator, shroud and fan assembly. Will pick it up at the boneyard this week. Should hook right into the 4.8 wiring harness. |

Just checked to see if it was still there. Reorganizing the shop attic for storage, I'm moving my office to my house next week.

Today I put my front grill letters on that I got for Christmas and replaced my old bulbs with LED's on the gauges. No more yellow, nice bright and white now.

Finished rebuilding my rear brakes and replacing brake lines. Slow progress, but at least it's progress.

This wasn't today, a few weeks ago, but I put bed wood in my truck. It's the old wood and rail out of my buddy's 50 panel that he's going to replace.
With a little modification it fit right in there. I had to replace one of the boards but a little oil, grease, and dirt and you can hardly tell now. Not bad for free. And I think the 62 year old wood looks appropriate. I think it came out good. Also I got my seat back. Had it covered with black crushed velvet with a diamond pleat with silver thread. Who want's to cruise?? |

Previous owner had put too large of an oil filter which was touching the block hugger headers on the Pontiac 400 big block - I was envisioning them burning a hole in it and dumping my oil on the highway.
I had to push in the filter just to get the filter wrench around it and then installed a shorter one that does not touch the bottom of the headers. What is normally a half hour job including oil change took me 2 hours. I now will have peace of mind in the spring when I drive it. Next I need to change out some suspect coolant hoses and the fuel filter and then will be good to go this spring once I get a seat installed. |

Was given free air cleaner off a 1965 4 BBl 327 Chevelle. Cleaned and painted it, just haven't decided which one to use old school bell style or 65 chevy. I am posting 2 trucks that have similar cleaners. The pics of trucks were off the net. I am leaning more towards the 65 air cleaner.:ito:
