Here is the thread that outlines the kit, one of our fellow forum members has done the install with good results. I am looking forward to getting the parts and will shoot some photos along the way during the install.

Well..........on tuesday i got to adjusting my doors so they wouldn't rattle anymore as im going down the freeway. It get's a little tiring pushing down on the door to keep her quiet. Problem solved, except that now that the rattles are gone, i noticed it had an annoying exhaust leak when i drove to and from work. Got underneath last night and noticed a nut missing on my passenger side manifold to exhaust pipe flange retainer(that the name?) the other two were loose. Damn muffler man! Proceeded to put on a replavement nut and tightened the other two but still leaked :( Today i picked up a new flange gasket installed it and problem solved. But now i hear a squeak in my suspension.:(

Might be better to just invest in some ear plugs.... :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Or just play my music loud enough to drown out the squeak!:)

Pretty crappy rainy day out today and I'm still waiting for my son and his friends to come help me lift off my cab (hoping this weekend) so I decided to work on my steering wheel. I stripped off all the repainted white and most of the original red and sanded it smooth. picked up som PC-7 at Ace Hardware and I will start patching the 3 cracks in it tomorrow. Here are pics of the before and current condition. The 3rd pic is an idea I'm considering for the horn center. It's stainless and I will repaint parts of it and leave some polished.

Bought a bottle jack and used it to spread the bent frame horn out and bolted the front bumper all the way on. And then put the bottle jack in the 73' v.w bug i just got for the girlfriend.

No kidding on the weather update...

The wheel looks great, hall.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks A.T. I was getting spoiled with the good weather in Sept. I guess I shouldn't complain, it is Oregon, but there were things that I still needed to get done.

You cannot put a gmc grille in a chevrolet.......thats a rule I think ? cannot find it in the book just yet, but that is just is not right..... gmcs' are unique and everyone says they are ugly compared to a chevrolet .............ha ha Kieth

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

i think you did a great job on your wheel,and personally i think you should use the horn button,it's cool!

Rolled her out and blew all the dust out of the garage with a backpack blower.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I believe it's a '42 but don't quote me. I picked it up off ebay for $10. Couldn't resist.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That's great!:jest: That's exactly what I use my leaf blower for.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thats the quick and easy way of getting the dust out of the shop. and I dont have to wait on the compresser to build up pressure :lol::metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Losthope '"bought a bottle jack and used it to spread the bent frame horn out....."

When I first read your post I thought you said you a bought bottle of Jack and used it to spread the bent frame horn out.
