I've wanted to get a #5 pool ball in solid Orange for a shift knob on the 4-speed SM465 in my Orange '68 C/10 Stepside... I'm just afraid someone might think it's got a 5-speed if I did. |

Thanks . Truck got a lot of attention guess because you don’t see many super low optioned trucks restored . Must have been at least 50 people commenting that they liked I kept it a I6 .

I had some epoxy paint left over from making a batch of dummy filler necks, so I painted my parking brake handle and cover, and I painted the steering column support bracket and clamp.

Started to put the 50 cal ammo box back on that was on the truck when I bought it . But decided they were to far gone they are dated 1964 second picture is the inside of the lid . So I bought a new one . Going to paint it tomorrow not sure if I should go satin black or body color . Guess I’ll just need to epoxy prime it and decide then .
I plan on adding either grip tape or texture paint so I can stand on the lid to get into the bed |

Had some fun removing the factory upper ball joints and then was trying to decide if I could get one more turn out of this ol' rotor...
Just kidding, it's already about .200 under ... :) |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Color and shine are quite nice!
My truck is running rough again; guess I'll have to look into the throttle bores. Last time it acted like this the needle was etched, allowing fuel by. I bought a local kit instead of a Cliff Ruggles kit this time. His kit did the same thing, but it took a whole lot longer than about 9 months. I'll check it first, of course, and if I need a kit, I'll get one of his again, but with an extra float bowl gasket and needle & seat so that I'm ready for the inevitable. Now, if the shop ghost doesn't abscond with those parts before I need them... |

Spent the day pulling, stretching and cussing while pulling the covers onto the frames for my buckets. Neither my grandfather or I are upholsterer, but we are happy with the results. The former high back frames did pretty good turning into low backs.

Job I was putting off . The hood ,basically the hood is really nice except for two dents right on the leading edge . Studied it for a long time and decided the best plan of attack would be to remove the inner brace . Thought it was going to be nightmare but it came off relatively easy. Was able to work the dents out with a hammer and dolly.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Well I was gonna pack my wheel bearings but instead I threw my wife’s bike and my bike in the back of the truck and drove the 68 to a beautiful spot with a 10 mile bicycle loop along the water here in South Fl. Then threw the bikes in the back and came home. So I drove the truck only and didn’t get any bearings packed! But had a great time doing it👍
