Always wanted this model!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Like those wheels!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Oh besides getting diff parts ordered I made a deal for the engine I am building for my buddy's 56 Gm to trade even for a Copper paint job with ghost flames on my 71. Since all my body metal is new and straight it a good trade for both, won't be soon but will be goodbye to Satin black and flames.:gi:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

makes me sad, I bet you must be trying to figure out how and when you will end up with your next one, you stick around here Mr.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Working on a P/s conversion. Have a mid 70's front end that I am using.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

So my 12 bolt is drivin me mad, the open diff. trick with a Loc-rite is just to costly now and still weaker than an Auburn so bit the big one and ordered a Auburn posi unit, have the new bearing already, cash price $573, so that's that, next back to abuse time, haha, well maybe drive a bit nicer, wife will be mad now.:lol: But will get over it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Made some serious inquiries to get some parts ordered for my winter projects. Will start a winter project build thread soon!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

my new rear end..

35 spline wave loc, nodular housing 1350 yoke with willwood disc.. bolt in unit.. I want to do this once and be done with it..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

very impressive, you have a lovely rear end there:smoke:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Do you think my truck makes my rear end look fat ?? LMAO



Well this is not my first go round with building.. I myself hate the 12 bolt and found that not only is it costly to build the first time that when it breaks you could have bought a 9 inch and not be dinking around with the 12 bolt. Just my opinion I know tons of guys have them and will tell you how tough they are.. However there is just as many and more that can show you the broken parts and in the end a 9 inch was installed.

Being that you can buy them as a complete unit for bolt in today it only makes sense.. I run my stuff hard and once sheet metal is done the idea of a snapped axle walking out and tearing up my bed side .. makes me sick ..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Ya I agree, even with the new Auburn installed I will just find another weak point, then fix it,,then another. haha. Drive it hard. Always.:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Installed new armrests and visors, of course one of the visors is not "straight", flipped stuff pi$$es me off!

Got to see the grill I am getting for$50. It looks really good. One small ding and needs to be stripped.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I just install the 3rd set of door seals and I am still not happy. I have used LMC and Classic Parts, (580) 439-5565 were crap. This time I used super soft seal, OEM, they said! Now they are saying you must adjust the door properly! If I let the door out any farther they will be out beyond the body!
How come nothing ever fits!

Working on rehabbing a mid-70s front crossmember I picked up for cheap. I unbolted the leftover frame pieces, scrubbed it a little and inspected the discs.....new brake pads to boot. Getting ready for p/s and disc brakes

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Removed the windshield this morning getting ready for the stainless trim installation.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

It is Hot Rod Flatz Red and it does give a satin finish...good eye!! You can wash and wax just like reg. base/clear. The white top is PPG base/clear...very shiny. My friends 66 next to it has same except Hot Rod Flatz Black and Metalic Blue trim.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

You'll be having some fun now, Mark. Let us know how it goes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Really nice short step glos55. I hope mine turns out that nice. It's going to be gloss red though. Love the short steps!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

;)Thanks Dean!!!! I really don't have alot of money in this truck...It's just nailing the correct things like wheels and tires and stance and colors etc. Take your time and think things through and your truck will turn out great I'm sure!!
