Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Had another great day. Salvaged a radiator out of a parting out vehicle this morning, then spent the day working on the truck with my son. This is something we enjoyed doing with his 67' Lemans last year and now we have this 63' 4x4 to work on this year..

Got mine running!! Last weekend I (with a lot of help from my friends) got it to turn over, and run by pouring gas in the carb. Today she started and ran and ran! Sounded SOOO good!
Enjoy! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Started polishing the Custom Cab panel and did some sanding on the wood I put in almost 15 years ago to try and salvage.
Also got a line on a 383 w/ T400 to drop in and found out the new tank was ready to get a liner and the new radiator was good to go. |

Installed plugs to block off heater hose ports, bled the brakes and drove the truck to my buddy's shop so I can start welding in the door post.
I also picked up an electric fan from a yard sale for $10. Gonna build a mount and wire it up tomorrow. All in all, a good day. Steven |

So far I've only done a portion of one and it's turned out great so far. I've just got a polishing wheel that I borrowed from a buddy... it cuts down on time a LOT (but it does get quite messy). |
Re: What did you do to your truck today?
My first post here. Picked up a 62 LWB for 300 bucks a few months back. Been working on it as a weekend project.
Anyway today got to taping it off so I could get primer shot. But as I started lost the motor on my air compressor. I took the bezels from the rear lights and front turns and tried to clean them up but tthey were in to bad a shape. What I done there was to rattle can them black to go with the Hugger orange that the truck will be painted. |

Well I got the 401M off the wooden crate and transferred it to the engine stand. Will start to clean, detail and paint it. That thing is heavy, but I do like me some GMC V-6's. I did add an extra big piece of wood in front; after this photo, for more support.

I did the front brace too, Although my stand was custom built and designed for heavy motors, I did not trust the grade 8 bolts I got from Home Depot. Who knows where THEY where made.

Chad, does that piece mount to the driver inner fender? Obviously it looks like something goes there... but I could never find that piece for my truck.

Went out today and removed the original power steering and installed a new upgraded one. But still need the center bar since what I had won't work. |
Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Worked on the tail lights and the oil coiler so it will clear the grill. Measured and looked at the inner fenders to get an idea on how to trim them down some more and look factory.. I think I have a plan...
