I tried white letters out once and I didn't care for them either (at least not on my truck):

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanx! One is my neighbors "yard art" and the other is his work truck. Funny how his yard truck showed up the day after I closed on my house and the guy across the street told me it had been gone since the house was for sale. What a tool! The little Toyota is his sons that he feels he needs to park 3 feet into my driveway and wont move. I might have to come blasting in with my 4x4 and smash his little jap truck all to hell.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yeah I'm hoping to get the tires turned around tomorrow. Not a fan of the RWL's.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I discovered that my water pump was leaking today.. Guess what I will be doing this weekend?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

waiting on my headers, should have got them today. not much to take pictures of, just doing all the wiring for the choke, fan, fan relay, and hei. had to figure out the gas pedal/carb linkage, all the old stuff was trash... got all the heater/rad hoses installed. also got two 40 series flowmaster to install but want to get the headers back first. this will cool up to 600hp so i shouldnt have any problems.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

opps! forgot the attachment, now this will cool up to 600hp so i shouldnt have any problems

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

made some progress yesterday but working some issues like no dipstick and such. the headers with the jet hot coating, inside and out....they have that "hammered" finish....better know as pitting from being so rusty from before......some people pay for stuff like that and no that is not my blood on the floor..this time. also the engine is starting to come together. it started on the first try. it sounds nasty with the old muffles...cant wait to hear it with the flowmasters.

hope everybody is enjoying the weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I was going to a car show, got about 10 miles and stopped for gas. Reached for my wallet, not there. Great! Decided to go home to get it, my starter wouldn't work. It wouldn't engage so I tapped a couple of time and got it started. So I came home and pulled it out. Decided to watch the Texans smack the Ravens.

Picked up my transmission today, Camaro 5spd with S10 tail shaft, has new bearings and seals. Picking up my crate engine Thursday.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got the cab off the frame and on the trailer. Then, I removed the cross member.

Also got an oven from a friend of mine so I can start powder coating.

Gonna take the crossmember to my buddy's shop so I can work on it on the big bench and use the paint room.

Started installing the front suspension. Realized CPP sent me '71-87 ball joints and '63-70 spindles. Dealer not open today, so I'm in a holding pattern.

Sloppy.

Drove it up to Dubai for the Gulf Bike Week; went to enter my bike into the custom bike competition... my bike did not place. But I had a great drive and arrived in 'style' and had no truck problems thankfully. I had so many 'thumbs-up' and photos taken as I drove the 146 miles, the drive and many conversations I had about the truck were more enjoyable than the actual show!

Cheers!

That's what I usually find too! Glad you had a good time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Spent yesterday afternoon fixing a vibration rattle in my windshield trim.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I put the new speedometer gear in and got the front wheel bearings in. I can feel the difference they were so bad.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got the Clutch Pedal, Brake Pedal, and E Brake Handle cleaned up and painted

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yes, it was a great ride! Thanks Mark.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Same here!! Although the show was a blast too!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yeah I bet your show was a blast, a proper truck/car show!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

There can't be alot of old iron running around over in the UAE like yours....Nice to know people are into it over there . Good job for keeping it and showing them....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Did nothing to my truck cause I traded it for a 67 Acadian coupe. Total resto with a few extra's, looking at buying my buddy's 68 2wd, so will still be around but the big flamed beast is gone to a new home. No haters haha, love all Chevy's and a few others. Mostly love to build cool hotrods.

Just have to find a spot for the truck and stay married.:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

looked at it... and being pissy about the rear end bearing I broke on sat.. I could not keep my foot out of it and the 8.2 rear end went south. ;(

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

The front fender looks like a 66 south of the border. The 67s down here had a deeper recess at the bottom of the headlight door. I love that body style. Nice trade.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

got the crate motor install bout done, lots of little issues but was able to work them all out one at a time. ran out of time today so i just have to put the hood on in the morning then bring her home from the shop, connect the front turnsignal wires back up and put the front bumper back on then give her a bath. installed the flowmasters today and made some turndowns until i figure out what pipes i want to run. good enough for the goodguys show. that thing has nuts and sounds nasty.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

You know what..... If that was my truck I would take pictures of it all day long, that is a great shot... is that an iPhone picture app thingy treatment?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

updated

drove my truck home yesterday from the shop where i put the crate motor in about 35 miles to the west. stopped and had new custom tailpipes installed, they guy did a great job and it sounds bad ass. the truck ran perfect, no problems/leaks/funny noises, then re soldered the hood wires that i cut when i took the hood off, had to put on a small air cleaner, the 14 incher was hitting the plug wires on the distributor. maybe i can find a higher base plate this weekend. this morning i will reinstall the front bumper then wash it. ready for the goodguys show this weekend in charlotte.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That is a great pic!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

:) Yeah I shot that with an iPhone app called Instagram that lets you apply some filters and add a border. The app was bought by Facebook earlier this year for a BILLION dollars. I don't think they had but about 20 employees. You could buy some really cool trucks with that kind of cash!
