Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Went to the Autofair here in Charlotte to pick up a few parts.

Got some red tail light lenses from Top Banana, then picked up 4 brand new rally wheel "flat" caps for $75. They should look very good with my Corvette style rallys.

Going to swap out all of the clear lenses on my truck next time I find time out of my schedule. Truck will look so much better once the tail lights and side markers look like they should.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Picked up some inner and outer fenders and got them painted. She'll be back on the road by the end of September after two and a half long years!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I pulled it out of the barn to start working on it once more!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I pulled off all of the front sheet metal and core support, so I can pull the old 350/th400 out. Gotta make room for the new 5.3/4L60!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

today I sent my nephew to the local pick a part where he was getting me a bumper and bumper brackets...while under the truck it fell on him and broke his jaw in two places!!! FML!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I cleaned up the welds on my new cab corners and pulled the old dash. Ready for media blast!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Drove her to town for a breakfast and bloody marry.

Nice start to a day here for me.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got all the body work done on the cab and doors, only to find out that I didn't have enough primer! Oh well tomorrow is another day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I installed a new heater core.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got the splash guard, front bumper, and headlight trim put on. Buttoned up rest of the fenders. Put the rear tires on and drove her out of the garage for a pic. Then I began sanding down the new (used) hood. I have two more 67/68 hoods and if the one I am working on turns out ok I will give away the other two. I tried to sell em on craigslist in Colorado Springs and Pueblo but no takers. I don't want to send these to the scapper if anyone can use em.

My daughter helped me almost all day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Noticed a large puddle of oil under the rear of the engine, guess the oil pan leak is getting pretty bad. Sounds like a good project for next summer cuz I really don't wanna tackle another major project this year.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

put in my tubular crossmember, new radiator for FSR, and my drive shaft is back in from being reworked......

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Built my truck ten years ago. Paint is starting to fade and dont want to buff out no more. Lower bottom of the tailgates starting to bubble and needs repaired. As an expierment, I tried some clear coat spray paint on the tailgate to see if the shine would come back. Figured the tail gate has to be redone anyway and it couldnt hurt! It worked, the clear brought back the shine and it looks good again. (Minus the bubbles) I'm going to do my hood next. (it will be painted properly again at some point)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Painted my master cylinder and Booster and did final layout on the new fan shroud next stop is my buddy's break ... hope to have it all bent up and mounted real soon.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Had a new windshield installed in my 69. It is tented, and has darker tint on the top. My old one might have been the original one. I can see clearly now. I will have to spray it with water , and make sure it doesn't leak.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

sanded, filled, sanded, filled, sanded, filled and so on and so on.......

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Painted the hood. It looks like pure hell. I remember now why I never did prep work for a living.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Picked up some '96 Honda Accord LX bucket seats for $25. The guy only removed them to put in racing seats (big time tuner car lol) and they're like new. Mod the mounts and get them in. Then I have no more excuses except time, for getting that T10 in the '71.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

... pulled the transmission <sigh>

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Installed a new dash pad, new dash cluster with tach & gas fill rubber seal. Waiting for headliner chrome trim & lower door carpet to finish my interior then on to rebuild the front suspension. Oh, got a 200 4r trans from a board member to install for some road trips.

Got a fold down license plate cover for my rear tank conversion, fixed the light on the defroster switch, got two new headlit/wiper bezels dfrom the scrap yard for 0.00. The guy just gave em to me.

67 six bolt rear with 3.73's removed & a 71 five bolt rear in with 3.07's in! Took all day as the u-bolts had become one with the rear control arms. Drums, backing plates & diff cover powder coated semigloss black, the rest painted. New stainless rear brakelines w/ gravelguard toped it all off to look sweet. Wow does the rest of my truck look crappy now...

I've been sanding down the firewall and frame. Today I painted them both semi-gloss black. I also sanded all of the rust off of my fenders and painted them as well.

Changed the water pump, and flushed the cooling system again.
Then took her for a 100 mile cruise in the back roads, after that came into town and stopped in at In-n-Out burger to make a nice end to a productive day.
