Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Had my MT valve covers drilled for the oil cap and PCV valve, custom made brackets for my truck bed storage box, engine bay is just about complete with fresh paint and I took it for a ride and it did not over heat. Was also given a steering column to swap out in the near future. With a couple of good days of weather I just might be able to tie up some loose ends and get some engine bay photos...Found a guy parting out a similar truck and I want to go strip it this weekend.

Ordered the tires and wheels today... they'll be ready for pickup in another week and a half or so.

Got the motor and tranny installed in the frame and the cab set on too.

That's why I love two things in the world today. Harbor Freight and their cheap sand blaster!

Started installing the new brakes. Before and After.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

What wheels and tires are those??

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

C6 Grand Sport Corvette with Nitto Invo tires. I was goofing around and put the 19x12's up front just to see how they look.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I polished the button head bolts I ordered. VERY easy and FAST!

Here is a before and after:

Sprayed it down to wash all the pollen off. I should have painted it yellow instead of black!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That looks great. It's those tiny improvements that add up to make a big difference.

Not getting much done on the 'burb, been delayed at the blasters'-getting the body cleaned up. So in the meantime, been working on the other one. Got the door jambs and interior painted on her F**d. Also attempted my first custom padded dash. Will finish the paint on it this week, then hopefully have the Burb back by then.

Letting my son drive it to school. he's living the dream.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

New valve covers are on, tool box bolted into the bed,cleaning up a new offroad bumper and installing today...Getting ready to head out to the boonies to part out a 65' for all the missing parts I want. Feels like a treasure hunt. Plus we have several days of decent weather with no rain. This should be a good run of productivity.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

My parts haul from a 66'. Got everything for $50....Glove box liner, high hump tranny cover, SUN tach, old stereo and surface mount speakers, brand new ignition switch, original gas cap, door handles w/key, full interior handles and window cranks....good day!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Made a Junkyard run first thing today, found the radiator support braces I needed, and located a Stepside fender to replace the Factory one with the spare tire cutout. Got to see lots of 60-66 trucks in various states of disassembly... Gotta love rambling around junkyards with a wide variety of vehicles. Spotted a 64 Impala propped up on wheels sporting a near perfect front bumper. This place appears to be my new favorite playground.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Mocked up the wheels to get an idea of how it will look. Still have to make the right rear caliper bracket and finish the wheel tubs.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got her out of storage in the pole barn, cleaned the windshield and parked it in the driveway, ready for another summer of driving it everywhere i go. It's been a very dependable daily driver.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Coulter, that thing looks clean! I like it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That is a very cool shot.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Had some driveability issues and replaced my ECM, much better, still working out a few bugs with the L98 TPI engine.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Filled the gun rack holes, painted and replaced the water pump.
