We put a thunderbird rack and pinion steering on the c10 cross member and dropped the cross member 2 inches

I sprayed this

Onto the driver's side of these

in preparation for applying undercoat then installing the new bushings.

THEN, I managed to break an extractor off into a bolt I was trying to back out! Usually I win the battle with my truck but today, the truck and I tied. A friend is a welder and will be up in November to help me out. I figure I'll just have him tack on a nut so I can get this bolt out.

Got the cab on my 72 GMC ready to come off and measured up the bottom of the cab to make a home made support to use on it my 71 Chevy c10 and the 64 c20. Metal or wood? Leaning toward metal. Tore out seat and carpet and was happy to see that I could not see through the floor anywhere and that it just needs rockers, a cab corner, and some light kick panel patching!

Took a few pictures.

Cleaned it up from sitting 2 weeks and went to a cruise inn Saturday night. Needs to be cleaned a little more for a car show this weekend.

Re : New Dash
 

I thin it looks great and was a steal @ $600 .

I also think someone should help me find one of those original AM/FM radios to replace my AM only one ~ I have the knobs & brackets and will take a crappy one (HINT !) .

Early Mono version will be fine , thankyouinadanvce....

You alls trucks are amazing ! keep those terrific pix and DIY's coming .

Tightened the rocker arms, so that it doesn't sound like I'm popping corn under the valve covers. :chevy:

Very nice!

It wasn't today, but over the weekend my father in law picked up this grille for our 69 K5 project for $225

Also got a pair of buckets, a console, and a rear seat for the K5.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

ABSOLUTELY water cooled. :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Took off the rear diff since the wheels were locked up to find no fluid and a bunch of gear metal pieces... Not Cool

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Attached hoses.... Opened some boxes, discovered the parts were wrong, got pissed off.

I sprayed NAPA Undercoating onto the frame brackets for the bushings, cleaned out the driver's side weatherstrip lip, sprayed NAPA Rust Treatment into there and onto the driver's side floorboard, AND had this installed:

The old door was CRAP: 6 single pane windows to the old door, thin as heck wood, and a skeleton key! I'm still surprised why the garage wasn't broken into. It took the company men 8 hours to get this thing in but they did a great job. I can now sleep much more soundly knowing a deadbolt is helping protect my truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Friday I bought these cheapo locking (?) cases from Harbor Freight. We had company over the weekend.

So, today I went to the hardware store and bought some latches. I attached them so I could open 'em up while they
are locked in place (after I unlock the latches), and so they'd be easily removeable.

Just a "need sometimes" deal. And a, "keep honest folks honest" while parked for lunch or something and out of
the line-of-sight from RAT for a little while.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Kind of cool cases, to small for a tool box but bet they can hold a few things. What is the plan for them Mag, special tools or something. I am always a bit scared so I put big tool boxs in mine but mostly end up being for my friends trucks that break down.:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Mud,

The idea was that I set them up so I can take them in and out. But, I'll probably leave them in 90% of the time. One can easily handle a small ditty bag for bathroom-oriented stuff,
probably including a weekend "emergency kit" of duds and toiletries in case the Boss throws me out, or I find myself invited for a couple of extra days at a bro's place.

The other one will include a set of wrenches and screwdrivers, various 1/2 inch drive stuff to get the wheels off, plug wrench and an extra HDMI module, Windex and a quart of oil and a
couple of rags in a Zip Loc bag...And maybe the add of the universal tool kit; duct tape, vice-grips, and a small can of WD-40. ;)

Also, I have one of those lever/spring dividers that fits nicely to the rear of the bags. It's kind-of a pole with rubber feet that stretch across the bed so that a cooler, chairs, etc. will stay
close to the cab instead of sliding around, while driving and bouncing around on the crappy roads around here.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

So how do they attach to the side of the box, magnets, or did I miss something, which i might have being me. I like that they remove.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Check out the pic.

The cases were too much $$$ for what they are. But I figure that if something *doesn't* get ripped off, the $62 was a decent $pend. I've got another $25
in the latches and glue, although I bought three sets and only needed two. And I still have glue left over. I found the rubber pads that are affixed to
the bottom of the cases inside the cases. So, I used them to get decent height so that the tops would swing without hitting the floor of the bed.

Also, I put hidden, small chunks of velcro on each of the handles so they wouldn't flop around and sound like a popcorn machine while I was driving.

Where I pierced the cases to push the spring-loaded pins through, I glued appropriate sized washers so the pins would "ride" on metal and not on the
flimsy case material.

Silly personal mod. I've spent eighty bucks on worse things in my life.
But I ain't talkin. That was then. This is now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Not as much as I wanted to! *And I really wanted to paint some today!!!

I bought some Rustoleum primer and flat black to spray on the driver's side floor boards and I picked up my newly rebuilt carburetor. I also got a lot of advice from the garage owner and it looks like I might be replacing all the hard fuel lines.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Mag you put a lot of thought and work into those special cases, I feel tired already. Cool job.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Loaded Sprout onto a truck to go to its new owner outside of Denver, CO. Well, technically my wife watched the truck driver load it as I had to be out of town this week. The new owner bought it sight unseen, so I hope he's happy with it when it arrives! A little sad (as I always am when something sells), but one step closer to moving to our new home in Kentucky and buying my next project!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Pulled the radiator and dropper it off at culpeppers.

Pulled the heater core, heater box and interior air box. They are both rusted pretty badly. Not sure what I am going to do with them. To bad Gm didnt think to pain the inside of th eboxes so they would not rust from the inside out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I sat in my truck, impatiently waiiting for my Tranny Cooler to get here...
Then, I made a plate to cover the giant radio cutout.

Changed out the seat belts, upgraded the driver and passenger belt to a newer Shoulder belt and added a lap belt for the person in the middle.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

How do you put the Radiator Hoses back on to the Heater core?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got my crotch cooler doors re-installed, and found a line on a working carb, and someone who can rebuild my ailing quadrajet.
Found a solution to my suspension issue, and daydreamed about body work and paint.
