Built me a custom 6 AWG alternator ground cable. Used Lowes primary wire @$0.93/ft and some terminals I had in my junk drawer. Will ground this sucker to the frame and be done with it!

Got an S10 steering wheel (been looking for a long time!) from a salvage yard for dirt cheap and in great shape. Had an 88-92 Chev steering wheel before and this gives me about 1" more of belly room:lol: I love it. AND, I can see ALL of my gauges without making an effort. SCORE! (yes, I painted the letters and horn logo to match the interior).

I ordered new trim for my ramp truck this past week. So I decided to see how hard the trim removal would be. It turned out not being bad at all.

The drivers side was gone and only had the 3 screws to get out. I used my saws all on them and the passenger side they came right off. I even saved the wedges for inside the fender for the new trim. I took the trim piece and straightened it best I could.
I may end up putting the new trim on my daughter's truck and using her old trim on the ramp truck.:chevy:

Got a couple sets of Rally wheels blasted and painted. Need a set for a K10 shorty and a K5 CST we are restoring.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

SoCoC10 - I’m jealous. Been looking for a set of rally’s for a while now. Keep missing them by a day. Arrrggghh!

Son and a few of his college buddies were in today so I got them to lend me a hand with final bed disassemble. Will pressure wash the rear section and start tearing it apart for new springs, seals, brakes, lines, bushings, u joints, etc.

Why do photos posted from my phone always post sideways and how can I fix it? Guess I should just use my laptop.

I put the carpet in today

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I really like the looks of that style wheel. What years did they come in the S10.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

DANG that looks GOOD

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Finished up the dash wiring , tested all lights and gauges . Everything works great except wipers , I used my old switch and no wipers. I know the motor works , pre tested . And it’s a AAW wiring harness , so I know that’s good again , tested . So new wiper switch it is.
Then onto engine wiring and lighting up front.

i love it!

I'm ALMOST positive that it came on 86-91's.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Have you considered going Hugger Orange on the rallies? I went Ochre on mine to try it out and I like em. I know it's not for everyone, but I'm liking the look that I think gives it a vintage persona.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I was thinking "eeeeww " while I was reading but much to my surprise. They look good!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Placed a 2k order with ClassicParts.com! Come on parts!!!!!!

Painted the kick panels the golden Fawn color the interior will be. Also tore apart the heater controls and cut off everything that wasn’t necessary. Glued the knobs in place then painted it black how 67’ should be. Doing the same idea with the radio since I’m not using it either. I like the idea of more space under the dash plus any weight savings I’m into.

I can confirm 1991. My Blazer has that wheel.

Pulled out the broken dip stick tube with a bolt and lube.

Very soon, hopefully tomorrow, I will be able to show off my new door panels - black vinyl and blue/black houndstooth fabric to match the seat. If it wasn't such a fiasco getting this done, I wouldn't be able to laugh about it - and it will be long remembered as a good idea gone bad. I bought a new set, and the houndstooth pattern was not right - an aqua blue. I couldn't return them, so I ordered the correct cloth from a place in Canby, Oregon. Today I took them in for recovering, and the cost is going to be a little higher than I had hoped. To make matters even worse, they can't remove the fabric from the cards (super glued, you might say), so it is tearing them up. They have to make new door cards for another $100. In the end, I will have $1000.00 door panels, or close to it...

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Did you cut and create the panels yourself? They look really good!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Valve cover gaskets and paint my valve covers while I had them off.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Replaced Fan switch. Old one would not go to 3 without some work. 2 would not work at all. With new switch, 2 still does not work, but 1 & 3 does. Still need to chase this down.

Changed Ignition module in HEI. Truck would start, idle, then die like someone turned off the key. Module seems to have solved it.

Somehow managed to stretch throttle cable. Only pulls about 1/4 with foot to floor. Ordered replacement from Classic Parts.

Newly made door panels to match my seat installed yesterday..

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Nice!!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

That looks killer, but I could not bring myself to spend $1K on a set of door panels. You probably have the only set like it in the world though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Looks Awesome I wanna do that tooooooooo

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

They can be had for around $200 online. Just make sure the houndstooth material matches the rest of your interior... I didn't do my due diligence on mine.. Thanks, too, they look great..

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Fixed AC fan issue. High was on, sometimes. Low worked on high some times. Ended up being the AC relay. Low, Med, & high now work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

New pitman arm. Idler tomorrow.
Squarebody used up some of my time too. New cs130 alternator and belts on it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Too darn hot to achieve much. Painted step supports and got a few fender braces stripped and painted. Got a few more long braces to do and then I’ll sort out two good sets for my truck.

Gonna be hot here the next few weeks so my rear suspension tear down is getting put on the slow roll. Maybe a bit of work in the evenings or weekend mornings.

Started on a new bead rolling project. Covering the top of the radiator. Just trying to come up with a design.🤔 May do some more diamond and holes?

Better pics of the new interior project I picked up from paint today

Fixing a few things so that the previously CA truck will pass TX inspection. Little things like missing cables in the parking brake, license plate lights and a twitchy horn button that needed to be disassembled and cleaned.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

i like them very nice touch

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I finally got around to a much needed tune up. Changed the oil for the first time since I bought it earlier this year and got some new spark plugs in. Just need to put the new cables on and the project continues.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Finished bead rolling and punching holes in my center panel to complete my filler set. Just need to paint them. Not bad for a beginner and $100 Eastwood bead roller.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

That looks great! I don't know why, but the engine looks really small, maybe it's all the white?
