Oh, but the curves you get to enjoy with that long and lean beauty!:smoke:

When I finish my 70CST I will start on a C-3 for the wifey. Curvy hottie driving a curvy hottie. :smoke::smoke:
But, I do agree, there is something about those low maintenance corn-feed girls that like working hard and getting dirty!:smoke:

I'm an Old Fart, don't see real well at night any more so, the Old Dim T3 yellow headlights are gone, replaced with New Projection Headlights. Upgraded wiring harness & relays of course too.

Ordered a new carb, heater core, and blower motor from summit. Then placed a call to Porterbuilt for my suspension. It's going to be a long 6 weeks.

I tried (in vain) to see if I could get a fellow board member to part out his stepside bed so I could get his passenger side fender. Oh well, I ended up encouraging him to sell it all at once then prayed that he could.

It was cool talking with a fellow member and that made the call worthwhile. :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

looking good . keep up the good work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Thanks ole, it just takes a little time & a whole lot of money. But hey, that's what makes it fun! :chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Put all new fuel lines and fuel pump...went for a cruise and wasted an hour drooling on a new tranny.......

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Hey Texjake, It's snowing here and I have to work outside, so not doing it right now, But I have the window channels, (whole kit & trim everything you mentioned) and rubber Vent window gaskets also complete. Any insights, tricks to make it easier or just go for the obvious?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I won't forget about you if the complete bed don't sell. It was nice talking with you also. I enjoyed your "trip to the hospital" story. After we got off the phone I told my wife about it.....:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

today i installed the hei distributor, replaced the thermostat, and started on my 5 speed swap. i cut out the small hump and drilled holes for the high hump. i searched for a shifter, but to no luck. the shifter for the 90 nv3500 has been discontinued. so i made one myself, glad i did too because i paid a total of $0.64 for it. i had a long piece of rod laying in the garage i used.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Don't feel bad, I do all my work on my truck outside as well, so I know how you feel. I have sent you a PM on how I tackled the task of replacing the window weather stripping & the fuzzies aka anti-rattles & the scrappers.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I'm having the 305 TPI motor swapped out for a 6.0 LSx motor.
Hawks 3rd gen Camaro is doing the work.;):chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

try to find the issue with contact. i have battery, but no contact ..... and no electricity !!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Check your ground strap between your engine or frame to the one connected to your cab. That is if your battery is fully charged.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

thanks. After control, it was just a little issue with battery clip.
now it works

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I called the owner of the body/shop today that has had my truck for like 8 years and told him to get working on it, I've done this every other month for years now. I also told him that I just may have to take his butt to court if he did not get it done, or give me all my money back that I have paid him in advance and I'll find another shop to finish it. Guy offered me a deal, which I have in writing on the labor rate for helping him out $ during a hard time he was having. Hardly a deal when its taking this long. Granted though I never did put in a date of completion, and the work he is doing is the very top on notches. Money always seems to make enemies out of friends. So I guess I did at least something for my truck today!! Ha. John

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Wow! Hope all turns out well after such a long wait

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

That is extremely long on the truck, but sounds like things will start to happen now, to bad it has to be that hard.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I went over to Sears and picked up my Craftsman Double Flare Kit for when I replace my entire fuel (hard) lines.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finally got the truck in the garage so I can begin work on it:metal:

Maybe some of you can do some video's on the metal work you do on your trucks, so the rest of us novices might learn something... Nice work......

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Took the ol truck and my little girl out this morning for breakfast. It is her 11th birthday and we have a tradition of going out for breakfast just the two of us. She still giggles when I punch the gas and the truck takes off. Good memories. Merry Christmas.

GOOD DADDY ! :metal: .

Keep this up and you'll reap huge dividends in another 20 years.....
