Pulled the rear end out of my parts truck and got a little jump on cleaning her up. I've still got a ways to go before it's all ready to paint and assemble, but I got a decent start.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I drove it to work!

If the old sheetmetal didn't rattle so much, the wind noise wasn't so terrible, the HVAC system so bad, the windshield wipers so squeaky or quieter in the cab...

...you'd swear you were driving a new truck.

:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Congrats on the first drive! But I'm a little pissed that you beat me on that first drive out of the yard, I figure you got me by a week or two :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Cool another happy old truck owner...:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That's the best part!! Gotta love drivin a tin can ;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

FINALLY found a 5 lug rear from a '71,no nasty noises or anything.
Haven't dug into it yet,but as far as i can tell it needs a pinion seal...so far
And low and behold ...from my local wrecker>
I thought 250 was pretty good price for a yard that charges half of new price on EVERYTHING.
Unfortunately he also has a '66 with front fenders to die for.
This will put my "Pawn Star" skills to the test!!? LOL

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

that rear end is wider than the one on your 63 I think 3/4" per side......maybe 1.5" per side. Kieth

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

it's 1.5" wider, 3/4 each side, I have one under my truck and havent had any clearance issues....yet.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

yes,3/4 per side.
I'm after the 5 lug pattern to match my '75 fronts.
LOL now I've got 6-lug rallies too,so I can still go either way with it.
It would just be nicer to only carry 1 spare instead of two

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I would like to find 2 6lug ralleys close to me, I have a trailer I am putting together. it will be my short bed truck pulling my short bed fleet trailer. I also have a long bed fleet trailer, so maybe short pulling short pulling long....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Clyde65 I have a set of 8 inch Rally with trim rings and caps, 6 hole. I will be changing over to 5 lug soon and found a set of 7 inchers to replace with. Send me a pm and maybe we can make a deal

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I finaly finished stripping the cab down. And got about half way done cutting the front windshield out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Well put the grill and front bumper on to see what it looks like.

I put the body back together just to see the stance and to clean up the garage before it starts getting cold and to make more room in the winter to work out there.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Hey Guys... Ill start a build thread, which I should have started before this, in the projects section. Thx...OTR

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I stole mine back (LEGALLY)!!!

For more info see my thread below, so I don't double post.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

went to leave work in the dark this morning... and 'poof' dash lights went out... dome light too...

hrmmn... headlights are on, so I go home.

I get home and check it out... no tail lights.

hmnn... I've played this game before!!!

o reilly parts actually had a switch on the shelf( I was shocked)... but, after installing it... not the prollem...

found about 2 or 3 other potential issues with ratty wiring... but working still...

then I checked something that had been broke before... that I'd fixed, years ago...

pulled the fuse panel off the firewall and sure enough... melty action... my fix had been fried!

$%!@%^%#&$^@!!!!!

I really need a new harness... blah.

old trucks are fun... old trucks are fun... old trucks are fun...

Woog takes a deep breath and chants:

"ooooohhmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnn"


so, when we buy a new harness... is it bumper to bumper, from headlights to tail lights... engine harness... under dash harness... everything?

I thought ya'll might chuckle at my predicament...
