Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got my only leaking fitting on the new Boyde under bed tank to stop leaking last night when got home from work. Put tank in on my Thursday off, wired and plumbed it. Started right up. The electric pump in the tank for the LS 5.3 is a lot quieter than the under the driver seat on the frame pump. Waiting on a Blazer sender wire with firewall grommet from Wes to finish up the job. Should be here soon. Pics later.

Well I installed a new tach, new headlight switch, E-brake handle, acc plate over the key, door lock pulls, larger bulbs in the dash, painted the needles and polished the lens.

Finished my motor mounts for my LT1 swap into a 63 c10. Raised the motor 5/8" to help clear the AC instead of spending money on brackets. Worked great with all the room under the hood.

Now to fit the headers and fuel lines. Waiting for my stand alone harness and ECM I got a killer deal on with VATS and smog deletes already done. I want to build a thread, but new to this site and have no idea where to start.

Welcome to the forum.
To do a build thread, click on "forums" on the tool bar, then under "The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Message Board" there is a sub forum "Projects and builds". Click on that and then click on new thread, upper left.

Or just click here,

Good luck with the project.

uneasyrider thats smart i never would have thought of that... only if i had a high mount tunnel

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I went to auto fair yesterday and bought new aluminum radiator, headlight bezels, door lock and key switch kit(one key), and the blazer tank conversion. Special thanks goes out to Jason at Daves Truck Parts for being so helpful. He was able to answer all of my questions and questions my brother had for his '65. I can't wait to get the truck back from the shop that is putting on my new heads. So ready to burn the back tires off of this thing!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Why yes I did Shawno72 , I don't have any other would trim on my truck and did not want the wood look (but liked the stlye of the wheel) that it had so I bought some black stain and re-did it.

I want to do the same thing. Can you tell me what kind of stain you used. Thank you.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I did a couple of things. I started by cleaning then polishing my Boss 338's with Never Dull. They look great. I wished I knew what to put on them to keep them looking good...
Then I worked on the alignment of my hood. I got it better than it was but have 2 ribets that are loose on the left side so I plan to check around and see what I can find tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I bought Minwax 'color express' Onyx , make sure you sand the wood well and tape off the ends of the spokes before you apply the stain I had to do mine with 2 coats.

Did you have any problems with the inserts hitting the transmission ? I'm thinking of borrowing this idea.. Cut 2 holes and drop in some billet cup holder insets and bam I'm done!!! Thanks
