Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I called three body shops to see when I can come for estimates on getting the dented fender fixed. Hopefully I can run it over there tomorrow then get those figures out to Jenn and then see what UPS tells us.

I also decided to not fix the one broken bolt that holds in the gas tank. I'll skip that and wait till she is running again.

Dustless Blasted my frame and A-arms. Ready for paint tomorrow

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

This is over a period of about a week and a half.

Pulled heater box to get to the core and found the box badly rusted inside. Ordered a new box and gasket set. Cleaned up the rust on the firewall, went through three different heater cores till I finally got one to match. Just got it all back together and now on to the radiator...finally.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I wish I could post the photos og what " badly rusted " really is ~ my firewall has GAPING HOLES where you just cleaned it and shot some Rustoleum paint ~ wayyyy beyond repair mine is , yours looks terrific , good job ! .

I like the 6 - Banger too ! :metal: .

Pulled the Roch. 2G carb off my 283, dissassembled it, getting it ready for my first carb rebuild. Very crusty and needs a thorough cleaning. Need to get this truck running again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I called a few more places looking for someone who'll install a new windshield , this is crazy as Mercedes Benz Automobiles use grommets too up into the 1990's but no one wants to work on " old cars " what a buncha crap .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Sold it ! Was a sad event but it went to a young guy with the energy to put it on the road

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Patinad that was awsome!!!!! Sounded like one of those merlin aircraft engines!!!!!

VW Nate- The heater box internals were badly rusted, fortunately the firewall was surface rust. Yea Im diggin the 250 IL6. All my drag racing buddies are trying to convice me to drop a 327 or 350 in it..... LOL to no avail.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Looking for the titls and finding all the spare parts ;-)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Me and the wife pulled out and trashed most of the interior. glad to see that shag carpet gone. Found only normal rust. But PO hacked up the tranny hump way more than I thought for a floor shift.
also removed the cowl and cleaned all the mud and leaves and sticks out of it. Glad to see no rust!
Pictures will come later.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got up at the buttcrack of dawn and ordered up a new AMERICAN MADE windshield grommet for my '69 C/10 , by the time it gets here I'll either have found someone who knows how to install it or I'll gird my grids and do my owndamnself .

:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I dreamed that the bodyshop called and said it was done and I drove it home but it was just a dream.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

HAHAHAHAHAAHAH. That was some dream wasnt it. Not meaning to be smart.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Hoping to start work soon, so I can start getting things I need for the truck :)

I plan on buying two New tires for the front..and saving up for front brakes and a Oil change

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Sbell87,

Spare tire on side? AWESOME! My 72 is like that. If you keep that fender, KUDOS, but if you want rid of it and it is rust free, drop me a line.

I got bored with working on a paper so I went out and ground a little on the 2nd cab bolt. I had forgotten my extension cord at my condo (worksite) so I tried to use my cordless drill. I didn't get far. :devil:

Wired up my electric choke and dialed in my carb.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finally got the cover fiasco (sizing issues) cleared up with carscover.com.

Nice folks. And they stood tall.

So, if you need an outdoor/fleece lined cover and can't get it from a Forum Vendor, the "Ultrashield" (100% rainproof - claimed...jury's out until it pours) you want
for a short bed is Product Code 101VLH4AM, regardless of what their make/model matrix wants you to order.

I put it on today. It was bucks-up for me at about $175 shipped. Less than the $500 custom-fit Calcarcover I have had before. But still big dough for me. Fit great
(no mirror pockets - I use oven gloves over the leading edges of the mirrors) Belt-Strap under the center. Elastic front and back. Looks high quality.

Anyone wants a pic or two, speak up.

First and foremost, I go with the supporting Forum Vendors. But I didn't get any response as to rainproof/outdoor guarantees, so I went with that one from www.carscover.com

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I got the truck up on Jack Stands, pulled the front tires, and orders all my front brake parts. The parts will be in by noon tomorrow so as weather is begining to come in on us, I plan on doing a front brake job. Going to replace everything from rubber hoses out to the drums. I am not replacing drums as they are still in good shape. Looking forward tomorrow.
