No pictures, but just ordered the longbed to shortbed conversion kit that Brothers offers. Going to be ordering the shortbed sheet metal and everything from LMC on Monday.

Cut the rotted roof off and welded the new donor roof on.

Bonus: I also upgraded to a big back window!

Tap, tap, tack weld, tap, tap, tack weld, rinse repeat.

First skim coat sanded.

I replace the mid seat windows and felts but apparently the aftermarket power window motors are too weak to move the windows. Fortunately, there was a great mod on here using ‘91 motors and a custom bracket. I think that’ll be next. Another thread helped with getting the windows installed. This place is invaluable!

...oops that was in my the Burb not PU

Finished installing my new seat belts today

Holiday season is time to for body work :) with the cooler weather and time off. I've been trying to rid the cab of leaks. Still trying but getting closer :waah:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Hey JDM63,
Is that B/C on the cab? If so what color are you using? I kinda like the look.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I do love those tire covers, They sell those anywhere?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

No color yet Frankintruck - just the shops choice of primer I guess. Thanks

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Took a little history lesson on Frankentruck today. 1000 grit wetsand to uncover the lettering on the door. I'm fairly certain that this door is not original to the truck, but it is cool to see where it came from

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

put on some new center caps and took a neat picture ...

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Nothing exciting for me. Just fixing things. Replaced the front tires the first week of the month. Signals are working, jerry-rigged, but working all the same. Replaced the old back-up light and it works! I'm going to add that to my trailer lights and add backup lights on the Spartanette and Terry. I was thinking that the '66 Chevy-type backup lights would look nice on the back of the Spartanette. I think the bed is going to be 1" plywood and rhino liner. Replaced the plastic nuts in the headlamp buckets with some off the 'bay. So much nicer now that they can be adjusted. They're still a bit low, but that can be corrected. The old man is running so much better now. I have to get some ZDDP and change the oil next.

After replacing the right backup light I found the lens broken just an hour later. Shattered, actually. I do believe it's against the rules to relate what I said when seeing that... I was thinking that perhaps the 'gate chain's hook slapped it when I opened the 'gate. Will have to be more careful from now on. Anyone else run into that issue?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

About a month ago I was moving the defrost lever to get the air to the winshield and the 58 yrs old pot metal lever finally have up the ghost.......the darn nerve of GMC not making them to last;).

I did some research and found that Old Factory Air makes replacements out of steel, appropriately titled "No Pop Levers", I order a set. They come with the 3 levers, spacers, press on nuts, and new handles. They installed like a dream. I also lubicated the remote wire sleeves so they would slide easier. A simple but needed upgrade.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Not as much as some of you guys. But I did get some parts in for relocating the fuel tank to the back. 1987 Chevy van tank, 1991 van fuel pump hanger assembly and straps to hold it in.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

The switch is operated by the bottom lever with the funny cuttout. Free air and fan are on the same lever.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Picked cab up this morning and got it put back on chassis, now back home and ready for some more mock-up and bolt on. Merry Christmas

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Looks like new again!

Thank you Brent!:wave:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Found the rattle in my upper door above the weatherstrip channel. Damn mud dobber wasp nest. Problaby been in there for decades and just recently broke loose. Good thing it was abandoned...I would have freaked out if I was rolling down the road with a cab full of those s.o.b's flying around!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I got my horns working off the steering wheel for the first time in 18 years. When I first got the truck it had a siren with a button under the dash. I installed a real horn and got a new steering wheel around 15 years ago. The wiring in the wheel that they sent me with the wheel did not work with the wheel. So I have been using the button under the dash until this weekend when I modified the wiring from another vehicle to fit the wheel.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

swapped out the alt in my truck and went to the speed shop to get some parts for my Mustang.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I put the rear bumper on the other day, I brought Clyde home from the shop the other day, replaced booster/master, panhard bar and some front end maintenance, He is getting closer! Only need to redo the grill and then the interior!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

After sitting outside for 20 years I moved my 1966 Chevy fleetside into my garage. Will start rebuilding her. Original 3sp, 250 I6. Will get a new auto trans with power steering and disc brakes, thanks to CaptainFab and his awesome brackets. Good way to start New Year. Happy New Year to everyone!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Are you keeping the 250?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Yes I am keeping the 250. Right now it is stuck. Haven't opened it up yet. I did buy an extra one a while back in case the original is toast. Worked o n getting the seat out today. Did not find anything under the seat such as money. LOL. Truck shows 87000 miles and I think it is right since I knew the second owner. I am the third owner.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Here is my truck as she set out for 20 years. Have a pic of it inside but it keeps posting upside down. LOL!! Will try to figure that out or will get another picture taken. 1966, 250 3sp on column

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Great!
Nothing wrong with V8 swaps but I'm always happy to see someone keeping a 6 in there truck.
Way to many people junk them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

This weekend we got the rear wire harness in, installed the back up lights, tail lights, and rear bumper. Still lots to do!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Started the floor and rockers. Fyi the after market stamped floor slid right in . Down side is cost . Upside is it took about an hour and half. Had about 10 hours in blasting though the enamel was very stubborn!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

You can post you just did something wrong

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Worked on a toolbox/cooler for the bed of my truck.
Made it out of pallets and recycled materials. Still have to make the hinges, install latch(old door knob and latch with skeleton key) and cut the plexiglass and drain for the cooler side.
Here is a video of wood being "treated"
