Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Worked on the new wooden dash board/bezel and put the gauges back in, put in one of the new tail lights I just purchased to see how it looks... more to come.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Well... I didn't make as much progress as I wanted to but I still got some things finished. I spent more time going back and forth to the parts house than anything else... O well, that's building cars/trucks I guess.
Anyway, I wire wheeled the whole crossmember, flattened the upper control arms and painted everything. I also replaced all the wheel bearings and seals, greased up all the grease points, put new rotors, calipers, and brake pads on. I also mounted the front bags and started on the rear brakes last night but I had a hard time finding the rear bearing seals and had to order them. They should be in tomorrow and I also dropped off the rear axles last Thursday to get drilled for 5 lug.
Hopefully this week I can get the rear bags mounted and finish up the rear end and the rear brakes. If I can get all the finished I will be pretty happy because then I can load it up and take it over to my old mans house to start the body work and hopefully get it painted before it gets too cold outside. I also have to drop some parts off tonight to get blasted "hopefully it doesn't cost me a million bucks"...

More body work.. I guess what they say is true.. You are finished with body work when you decide to stop working and put down some paint..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

E911manager,

I agree. You can work yourself to death on it.

I keep finding things I think need to be patched on my cab. Eventually, I will have to put down the sharpie and pick up the welder and get it done. :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Today I replaced my heater fan. I'm going to be needing that soon! Also
figured out my door locks. Narrowed it down to one key that fits the ignition and both doors even though one of the handles isn't the original!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Slid under the back of the truck and cleaned/polished the chrome rear end cover and the brake lines on the axle housing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Dropped off the rear end to get rebuilt and another load of parts for the powder coaters.

Went to DMV, got the title started and got temporary registration! Hah, I'm finally on the road!

I see I am not the only one that pretend drives. If you look at my blog on my other project you should get a good laugh out it. My wife did.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Today I tackled the tank job I have been waiting to do; with some help from this forum I found out that my filler hose was cracked, I could feel it with my fingers. So, took out the tank and started the work (thanks to markeb01 for the trouble shooting suggestions).

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Just received my 21 Circuit Rebel Wire kit, so im going to be having fun tearing into the wiring from now until I go back to work MON. :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Compiled and cleaned a bunch of engine parts after a 3 year haitus things were scattered here and there. Short block's been together for about a year and now I'm just a timing chain and oil pump shaft away from having it ready to finish re-assembling. I hope to have engine finished and transmission ready to go on my off days next week... :ito:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Drove 'ol blue to church in the evening and as I got home I pulled up to the garage door and thought I would see if I had high beams,I knew I had low beams ... Turned out I had NO beams .. so I started checking it out, had power out of the dimmer on both sides when tested high and low .. so checked at the 2 wire bulkhead by the horn and had nothing .. got out my small sandblaster with the spot nozzle on it and blasted the corrosion off the terminals at the firewall and dimmer .. finally got them working and noticed the wire was hot to the dimmer switch ... Checked the bulbs and sure enough they were halogen ...lucky when I installed the relay for the radiator fan I installed a row of 3 from an 88 sierra .. So I had 2 spares .. so I figured it was time to do some wiring since I had already run the grounds and power for the relays it was a 10 minute job ...........

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Changed the oil and cruised around. Also made me some iPhone wallpaper using a little app called Colorsplash.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Nice color! Too bad its not a LWB. :o

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Dropped my seat, door panels and visors off to get stitched up yesterday, its a glide engineering seat with the foam, mounts fit great, not gonna make the Goodguys show in October, but fer sure in March

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Wow! Looking very nice! What instrument panel is that? I like!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Dakota Digital, its tip top, the panel itself is less than an inch thick runs off a cat 5 cable, no speedo cable has a sensor with a wire and it programs itself, mark off a mile and push the button, gives % to empty etc, Thanks for the input

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I gotta get me one of those! Very nice!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

What a beautiful photograph.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

X2 I just like them all.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got the rear coils wire wheeled and cleaned. My son got 4 coats of paint on them.

They look a million times better. Only need to clean the rear end and paint it before assembly can begin.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

When you get the rear end to that point, many time the pinion yoke has a worn ring in it.. Great time to install a speedy sleeve and replace the seal.. Way easier now that later.. Just a FIY deal..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Where do I get a speedy sleeve? I've never heard of one.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Ground the spine down on my door lock cylinder so my doors will actually lock.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

About finished wiring with the rebel wire kit. However, I cannot for the life of me, figure out why my headlights/turn signals will not work.

The brake lights/rear turns work, but my fronts do not. Could it be my headlight switch?

If so, that still would not tell me what is wrong with my front turn signals since they run off the same line as my rear.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finished polishing the early wide stainless windshield trim:

I'm not sure what you're talking about.
All I see is something that looks like pieces of mirror glass setting on a counter. ;)
