Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I worked on converting my OEM dome light for my 48 over to LED..It will look stock until you turn on the light. I will do a write up once I'm finished. I stole the idea from someone that did that same thing for a 58-59. It is a little different for AD trucks. Inexpensive as well.
So far it coming together nicely. Marc |

Ok, I had to do some diggin....It was OKGMC4 that I barrowed the idea from and it was for his 56 (not 58 as I stated previously..ooops). http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=368649&page=7 The LED circuit board I bought was a smaller size beacuse the light housing for a 47-53 is different. Marc |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Nasty cold outside, snow on the ground so I'm grounded to the garage.
I have been doing a lotta 'walk out to the garage and stare at the truck' the last few days. I still need to prep/prime and paint my front fenders and hood and that ain't happening till spring. So I'm tinkering with interior stuff off and on. Right now the 'rear cab cover' area (where the fuel tank used to be has me staring at the truck more than working on it. Mentally trying to envision what I want to do with the area. I have the base in that my seats will sit on, and the rear cab area is a blank canvas begging for some fabrication genius. Problem is my fabricating skills are far short of 'genius level' so I'm mapping out how I am going to make useful and nice looking use of that space. The battery is back there (in a box of course) - with that I see a sub woofer box, two 6x9's, and maybe a storage area for a 'roadside emergency kit'. When I quit staring and get busy I will set the seats on the cab to make sure I'll have the space for what I ultimatley decide to do...then back out with the seats and on with the 'fabricatin' Won't be long before I quit thinking about it and start doing it....I suppose :D |
Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I lost the bid on some reallllly nice windshield stainless trim. OEM not repro... so if any of you out there have a nice set please let me know.... I was way looking forward to getting it. I am trying to round up all the small stuff so that when the wife and I decide to go forward with a paint job we don't have a whole slew of unplanned expenses.
I guess my 3g phone doesn't have a chance with last min buidding wars. Too bad I can't touch ebay while at work or I would have used my PC and won. Posted via Mobile Device |

How'd you do it? Please explain. I've heard of using coat hangers as templates and making subtle radii like over your rear end by rolling tubing over round objects. What did you do? I will need new lines on my truck but had wondered if I wouldn't just EFF it up? Have you pressurized them? Much in the way of leaks and please tell us what equipment you had? |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Thanks for the info, man. i REALLY like how you followed all the little turns and curves so carefully. I think thats what makes it professional.
I've seen one of those hydraulic flaring kits for about... $275, I want to say(?) While I'm annoying you with questions, can you tell us if the frame is painted or powder coated? If painted, did you do it yourself and what prep and paint? Is that hydraulic tee on your rearend somehow bolted to it? Is that available from a catalog or something? |
