The chassis looks fantastic. What did you paint it with?

Not so much a "do to" as it is a "do with". Last night I got to use it as a picnic table for the BBQ we had at the shop-

Sack up! :D Eat that elephant one bite at a time.



Today and yesterday I did nothing but drive my truck to the hardware store. It was great! Sadly the fun was interrupted several times by arriving at my destinations. And I swapped struts on the wife's car. Tore the end of my middle finger off. I hate that car. My truck never tore anything off of me but a frown. :D

Well, and my shirt. Once. But no one needs to know about that. ;)

She's a right feisty little vixen.:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I got the front of the rad support raised and was able to mount the first fender. I was also able to mount the Fender V-6emblem. I have literally waited 13 years to do this!!I need a hanky sniff, sniff.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Looks great Jake. How about a picture of the whole truck? I need to get by there and check it out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Man that is really pretty. Nice panel alignment!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Looks AWESOME JB!


Ray and I put the 73 K10 308 posi in the 62 and got it back on the ground once again...

We need to sort out rear shocks now. Monroe 59571's are too short.

Then pinion angle, panhard, lines, etc.

Hauled some compost with mine to the other garden( ya gotta have two gardens cause ones never enough).

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Today I had intentions of upgrading to an HEI distributor. After much debate I dropped some cash on a Skip White dizzy. I went to Napa and picked up 65 vette 80mm plug wires. Checked current timing and it was set by the PO at 0 degree advance- no womder it ran like a dog (283). Verified the vacuum advance at different Rpms and determined it was all in at 16 degrees at around 2800 Rpms. Started to route the new plug wires and determtermined that wires 3&4 were way to short, back to nappy and same PN but correct lengths! but I had to raise the engine off the mounts to get clearance for the new fatter wires. I also spliced into the pink wire from the ignition to provide 12v to the new dizz. After hooking up the new skip white dizzy the truck had a hard time idling- even at 0 degrees and up to eight- it just wouldn't run. Acted retarded. Give it any vacuum FORGET ABOUT IT!!! It would die and usually ended in a poof of exhaust through the carb. Tried another coil(MSD) and it seemed to run worse... Verified plug wires to no avail. I eventually went back to the old points Delco Remey Dizzy and it purred like a kitten. Advanced timing to a total timing of 32- could advanced a more I think but for now it's much better. Gonna call skippy blanco tomorrow and have them send me a new dizzy cause I'm pretty sure something is a wry with this one. Eight hours later...

After tons of scraping, wire brushing, power washing and repeating all steps several times, I got the front frame and suspension all painted.

It's kp components. As soon as my buddy gets his plasma cutter back from the shop, the bottom piece can go in then final welding. Once it's done, we can start on the 4 link, while I am waiting for my dropmember and control arms!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Well the weather is finally starting to dry out and I can get started on the truck. I have decided to get the Rhino done and the paint on it and next year when I get another tax return the motor and trans and new wheels.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Wire wheeled, primed, painted the beads of my wheels. I'll mount 235 75 15 whitewalls on them tomorrow! Some might be wondering why I didn't do the complete wheel. It wouldn't fit with the truck. They need to be crusty.
