Finished connecting the e-brake cable, then moved on to installing the carpet.
Now putting in the center console (40/20/40, 2006 silverado 1500 seat). Finished up the day with putting in the passenger side seat. Still have driver side left, but I have to save something for the next day.

Welcome to the forum!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I finished a mostly total rebuild of my doors. New rubber felt little plastic wheels cleaned and greased everything and adjusted the latches and hinges. I also put sound reducer strips in the doors. All I have left is to get the panels back from the powder coat guy and put on new handles. The doors shut with a finger and go thud instead of clang. Nice!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got the LT1 installed today and most of the wiring done. Tomorrow I will get on to the plumbing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Me and my wife took the 66 out for a drive Saturday, teaching her how to drive a stick in it. Of course the 3 on the column adds a little more lol. Carson wanted to be in it today, so we drove it around in the back yard and let him steer. He really enjoyed it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I had a guy paint it for me and I should have done it myself.. I do not have a booth but should have just rented one.. I have to repaint the grill, if you look at the roof and wheels you can see it is darker.. it is vintage burgundy ( hot rodz flat series) and these paint have a life of there own if you shoot it lighter it will look another color, the gunsmoke grey is the same way.. If you apply it rather heavy it is easy to keep the same color from one part to the next.. The flatz paint does take a bit of time to get used to. I painted most everything else other than the gray on the out skin.. But will be a good rainy day project.. Grill comes out easy enough, scuff and shoot.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I didn't even notice any color differences. I just love the clean overall apperance.

Regards, Mike.

That is really nice, beautiful job! It is really hard to see any problem with the paint, but we all know that when it is our truck and we see a small problem we need to deal with it!

Congrats!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Contemplate on a ball joint fork, jacking her up and getting the springs cut , but, why not get coil-overs... That's means new upper and lower control arms right!!! What a dilemma.. So basically I just crawled under the truck and looked at it...TODAY...

paid for the 700r4 rebuild... hopefully get it put in this weekend... i'll let you guys know

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Upgraded the front end appearance with my freshly straightened and rechromed bumper. Had the old beat up bumper guards done also. They really came out nice. OOps, now the grill doesn't look so good! It never ends.
(Top pic old, bottom pic new)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That looks great!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks, Mark.
The rear bumper is next. I found a pretty decent one in Idaho and had it chromed along with the front. Both came out real nice. I can't wait to get that ugly beast off the back of my truck!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Put the rear end in today, bolted the springs in and put the rear shocks in as well. I tried to install the front coils but with no weight it was a no go. I could chain the frame to the floor but will probably by a coil spring tool.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finished gutting the cab making it ready for the media blast man.hope there is something left when we get it back

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

It wasn't today but I replaced a Ratfink monster head shift knob with one I turned on my lathe from spalted tamarind wood.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Spalted Tamarind (never heard of it so I had to look it up), The is a beautiful wood from Southeast Asia. Much of this wood comes from logs that were either found on the forest floor or were cut and then allowed to spalt in the very damp warm conditions of the jungle. The colors and various line patterns are tuly unique from one piece to another. The patterns are created as a result of insects, so expect insect holes in all spalted woods. Use a good dust mask with any type of spalted wood you work on it.

The photo they show are beautiful. I bet a coffe and end table made of that wood would be beautiful.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I put on the tailgate, chains, & tailgate cap

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

...actually pushed it back in the shop to work on it! Been sitting outside for a month!
Hoping to get the drivers' side sheet metal replaced today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Put in new speedo cable
FYI, if you have a Dolphin Speedo you will need a threaded cable (both ends).
TIP: Get one for a 1964 El-camino fits rigth in there and works with Doliphin!
Advance Auto Parts PN 03152, it 63inches long and perfect for a TH350 trans.
