Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I've been doing a little work to mine but nothing near what most of you have done.
I installed a S-10 blazer center gear shifter with part of the console. It has cup holders and I mocked up the bottom half myself. Going to take it and have the upholstery shop do the final work on it. It has the indicator lights and backup lights working. It has the electric park solenoid wired to come on when cranked but I have a hidden switch to cut it off when I feel a need to. So no matter what u do it want come out of park unless u crawl under it and unhook the cable. ;):chevy:

Me seeing what it would look like. I think carpet would look better than the leather.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Well I got under the truck and adjusted the shifter cable and now gear selector is right on! I also hooked a new toggle switch up to operate the torque convertor. Moved it off the dash to the console.
This is a old kitchen light I wired up to use under the truck. U want burn your self with it either.

I parked it by the street with a for sale sign on it. At least 5 people called me on it. Hope to sell it so I won't have to drive it to Roanoke, Texas. That is were we are moving.

I scored two 1 ton sway bars at the junkyard yesterday. I'm going back tomorrow to get some headers I found but didn't bring enough tools to get.

I killed my glass fuel filter for a all metal polished Mr.Gasket one. Saw a post of a truck on fire and scared the crap out of me.

Tearing dash apart to replace A/C vent tubes and have AM radio repaired. Broke defroster vents, ordered new vents, glovebox cardboard. Have to replace speaker too. Installed underdash lights and glovebox light that I bought from forum member. Need to find a new vacuum switch for the A/C controls.

I finally sold off a couple first gen-Monte Carlo's so I can buy more stuff for the C10. The engine for the C10 is coming out of the Monte tonight, so I guess that qualifies and working on my truck, right?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I love 1st gen Monte's.....and '69-'72 Grand Prix's

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

We put the radiator and shroud in the '67 swb today along with voltage regulator, front wiring gutter, front wiring harness, hooked up wires to the alternator and put radiator hoses on.

We are waiting for the passenger's side inner fender to come in from Partsgeek.

Tomorrow I am going to get an adapter to put the Holley carb on the stock manifold.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I had the left control arm replaced and an alignment done on the beast today. Need to replace the springs and wondering what to get as I don't want to lower the ride height any.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Pulled out the engine this morning after getting everything disconnected last night.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

changing my new red carpet is on progress.
put a custom radio in place of an old SONY.
I still have JENSEN "box speakers" in the truck. Is it possible to cut the kick panel and put speaker's ? does water get in the kick panels ?

let's go to the pictures ....

1st : before changing old carpet
2nd : old carpet (with the 2 Jensens speakers
3rd : without carpet
4th : new red carpet
5th : new radio

some stuff to do !

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Hey ChevyRedneck, I just read through your build and it got me fired up some more. Nice work and you proved to me (again) that you don't need a nice shop to have this hobby. I don't have much, as far as a shop, so it isn't going to slow me down.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

i bought new heads and rockers

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I did my brakes over the weekend and got the truck registered and drove around town for the first time since 2003!

to Lolo33 - LMC has speakers in the kickpanels, look at page 102.
