Was yours a full foam seat? I have one from my ‘67 that has foam and stuffing on top that needs recovered and wondering what you did to yours.

My seat was done before I picked up the truck and I just put a covering over the back. It was all new foam over the springs when who ever did it. If the foam is still good on yours it doesn't look to be a real hard job to do with new covers.

I don't know why and the brought it back after moving the fuel tank in the 70's. This seat will have to stay in my truck as I need to access the jack and fire extinguisher through the panels behind it.

Foam is in bad shape. Was told the covers are for full foam seats, I’ll have to do some digging. Thanks!

FYI, Your upper control arm is backwards. (On the wrong side)

It was 60 degrees and sunny here so I drove my truck around all day.

Just about completed with a rebuild of my carburetor and cleanup. Getting close to startup - just waiting on a new kick down cable bracket and PVC and breather.

Took the flatbed off then dropped it off at the body man. Starting with restoring the cab forward. I need to decide if I want to keep the flatbed or find a Fleetside again. Hard finding one in Mid-Missouri worth my time

That's a nifty truck bed lift you've got there Larry. Makes bed removal a one man operation. ;)

Got the big block in earlier this week and got the 4L80E in place yesterday. That was a little bit scary installing the 4L80E by myself with a floor jack but it's in. I stayed with the low hump even though I had bought a high hump for it. Have around 3/4" clearance at the top which I hope is enough not to bump. Hate to give up that cup holder I have bolted to the front bottom of the bench seat. Why do the pictures always turn sideways?

Billy got new cab mounts today. Did the radiator support mounts when I replaced that. Not much space in the garage I’m renting. Good thing I’m skinny.

Started to pull the powerslide out of the old 67 for a 200-4R.
Curiously GM put 4 bolts on the crossmember with the top ones interesting to access. Once the new transmission is in place I can begin the joyful task of fabricating a geometry correction device for the equally Old 4G carb.

Actually did some of this stuff on my vacation in late Dec. New tilt steering column and steering wheel happened this weekend. Cut a coil or so off the front and back springs to get a lowered look (I know its not right but funds are low right now so it will do for now). Repainted the front grill and cleaned it up a bit a few weeks back as well. I must say for me and my truck its a love and hate relationship. I change/fix one thing and then something else breaks and pi**es me off. Currently cant drive truck cause I dont have brake lights. That's another post. LOL.

Before is top picture and after is the bottom. :)

Bought this to flip to help pay for fixing up my truck. Also stripped the dash pad to recover. Got some of the blood part of the sweat and tears.
Dash pad is a pain in the backside to remove. :)

Looks great under there. Did you do a frame off? Do you have a build thread?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 
I didn't have room to do a frame off...but spent lots of time to clean and sand every bit i could to prep and paint it...no build thread...but i have a lot of pics to make one...
