I put in one of those cheap Chinese cardboard glove boxes that about half way fit. What a pain in the rear. Anyway after trimming and fighting it, I have a functional glove box. I need to update my build thread with some photos of the new parts.

Spent some quality time with a scraper and The saginaw I pulled out last weekend. Must have scraped off 3 pounds of a gross mixture of oil, grease and dirt. Tonight or tomorrow I will start disassembling it on my work bench.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I installed my new gas tank, pulled the seat and floor mat out and started cutting rust out of the floor and rockers. I definitely made more work than I did.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I got mine back from the body shop. New rockers, cab corners, floor patches. Then I drove it like I stole it.
He has had it for almost a month.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

My sweet little wife helped me put my hood back on after I painted it again this morning.

need to do a little adjusting but hopefully it's on for the last time.

installed a new drivers/upper door hinge too.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Installed new springs for the rear brakes. Also installed the e-brake cables. Are theses routed correctly and my cable is too long. If I cut it what should I block the end off with?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Is that possible a long bed cable on a short bed
Where the single cable joins the double is there any more adjustment?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

It's all painted again for the second time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Part code seemed to be sb. But I will make sure again everything is in place. But think it may be a LB cable.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Fired the engine for the first time after the rebuild yesterday and today finished everything up by putting the new valve covers and air cleaner on. Now on to pass. fender cup repair and re installing the fenders. Cruisin' season's coming up and I'm way behind.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

In looking at your pics the cable should be running through the outer hole on the cross member, the one with the plastic gromit in it , then up to the curled wire hanger in the frame and then to the back down the other side the same ending at the other bracket that connects the two rear cables. That routing may shorten the cable enough. Hope this helps.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

This is my long bed e brakes

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

The seat covers are from Ricks Custom Upholstery


On a separate note, today I installed a jackrabbit original tunneau cover - love the way it looks!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Decided to tackle the rusty fender up today. I tried a different way to make the repop cup fit by lining up the wheel opening side then using a spot weld cutter I removed the piece on the rear of the cup and made relief cuts to "stretch" the front of the cup. More pics to follow

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I had to make one relief cut on the front of the cup to move it over and add a small piece of filler to the gap. Every thing lined up and time to start tack welding.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

By using this method I eliminated weld seams where they would show. I replaced the rear piece previously removed and finished up by grinding the welds, slinging on some filler, blocking and shooting primer. Tomorrow I'll wet sand the primer and rattle can some color to finish up the repair.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

today I installed new carpet , new retrosound laguna radio,and my $20 swap meet seat. also put a set of undercover 2 speakers. retrosound doesn't tell you assembly is required and instructions are not model specific. after many adjustments I finally got it in and I am pleased with the sound. I removed my factory bucket seats for my other project.
