Where did you get the smoothie front bumper

Re : Nice Bumper !
 

I wonder of I can get one like that painted ? my truck has little chrome , that smooth look really cleans up the front end's looks .

I just walked out to my truck in the fog @ 04:30 and clattered my way to the food store and coffee shop before coming back to listen to this 1904 recording : http://youtu.be/RUI_7JT8jRw on POO - TOOB , it appears not much has changed i the last century ;) .

It's the one Brothers sells. I like it. Vary heavy steel much better then the after market stuff I have used.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Sorry, PAWS.

Slow day at Casa de Magwa!!! :lol:

Re: Smoothie Bumper
 

THANK YOU ! (note clever use of CHEVROLET BLUE THERE) .

@ $250 it'll have to wait until I find an honest and competent paint shop for my body off re spray job (hint !) but I do think this will be just the thing .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Washed it and drove it to work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

While I wait for the gas tank to come home from the "hot tank", I decided to the hand-me-down radio/cd player into the center console. It was fun.

The radio cost me $10 because I wanted to give the grandkids something when they laid it out to sell at a garage sale. They said "Ten Bucks!" I said, "Sold!"

:lol:

So, in she went today with a couple of okay speakers behind the seats. I also have a satellite radio that I moved from the used-once-in-a-while motor home.
The radio, an older Pioneer, doesn't have an aux input. So, I wired up the satellite FM antenna to an antenna lead to the radio...Actually, I twisted them together
and taped them.

Solid sound. Total cost, about forty-three bucks for everything (I had the sat radio, but I got it "free" from Sirius. There's no free lunch, of course).

That was fun.

Next step, back under the truck to set up wiring for the electric fuel pump. But that's for another day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

nice set up....i like it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I changed my starter and drove her into work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I was able to shoot the epoxy on it and topcoat some of the hard to reach under dash areas..

Good times!

Scott

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Cab looks pretty nice, your right good time to hit the hard to get areas.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Yeah i figured due to the epoxy primer, I would have to scuff up areas before topcoat & the areas under the dash would be a pain... so I just went a head and shot some paint on them in the "topcoat" window of the epoxy...

On the cab, its a nice cab for the $100 I spent on it... but don't let the photos fool you, it has it problem areas, but nothing that cant be fixed :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

i used some 3M Finesse It after wet sanding with 1500 grit. any wax should work though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

ughh 1500 = work :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I got tired of looking at the two holes where the shoulder strap bolts should be, so I came up with a cheap fix. Went to NAPA and got two of these LED push in lamps. They are about the size of a quarter. Wired them up to the dome light harness down near the floor. Since I did not want to harm the threads in the cab, I just used black RTV to "glue" them in place. Tried them out in the shop with the lights out and they are pretty bright, kind of a bluish/white light. They are "Peterson Utility Light #V171C".

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Post some pictures with them on!

Bought a period correct bench seat a while back, so today a friend was generous and sand blasted the mounting brackets for primer and paint. Yesterday I fixed the electric choke issue it was having, and fine tuned the idle. It was a joy to drive it today..

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Very cool idea!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Drove it from South Central L.A. out to Lancaster and had breakfast with the V.J.L.A. then drove it to Pasadena via The Angles Forest and Crest Highways , I've been tweaking the tire pressures and it's hugging the asphalt like no old truck should ~ my brother was riding shotgun and looked a little green around the gills so I slowed down after a bit ~ if the tires don't squeak , I couldn't possibly be going too fast , right ? .

I only used one quart of oil too =8-) .

Loaded up some brake tools in Pasadena and drove it to South Central , the West L.A. where I bled the brakes out on my old 1980 Caddy S & S Victoria Hearse ~ it stops great now but appears to need front calipers .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
