Dropped it off at my guys house so he can go thru the rear brakes, replace a few fuel lines and change the rear axle fluid...

It's the first night it hasn't been at my house in over 2 years... And one of the first times I haven't been doing the wrenching. I just don't have the time right now...

My son's High School had a car show today and he asked me to bring the 63' 4x4 up. We bought it from a kid's family who is in his auto shop class...It does not look any different on the outside but I completely prpainted the engine and bay while I had it all torn apart to make it driveable...Got lots of praise for the motor and the fact it was driveable...On a side note my son's 67' Pontiac Lemans took best in class...his first trophy!

Congrats to your son, that had to be a proud moment!

His shop class built the trophies at the begining of the year out of pistons from a 350 chevy..it looks pretty cool with an engraved plate on it....Best in show was a mid 70's Monte Carlo with hydraulics.....not our style but my son was happy!

It was actually a few days ago...I had to replace starter solinoid on my 62. I did get it fired up and ran it for about 10 min. Also started putting in the carpet so I can get interior back together. Wont be doing anything with it this weekend but hoping to get it on the road by mid June.

They are, as I have learned, late 70's to early 80's 4WD wheels.

Yah I would go with black

After 13 years of owning it, I finally decided to try and either sell or trade my '65. It's time for a new project! I replaced my last Harley with an '06 Road King and spend more time riding than working on the truck... so it's going on the block. Either a sale or trade !

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 
It has taken a while but I had to tear half the front of the engine apart to fix a cooling problem....An HD radiator from a Dodge RV and a new H2O pump. Decided to repaint the engine bay and block. New brake booster and master cylinder from a 68' Vette. Also cleaned up the grill and fresh paint and a temp repair to the front bumper. I still need to get over to my father in laws t have several things welded up....Without a garage I have to work around mother nature here....Progress is being made....slowly.

Finished my 4.5/5 drop. I went to get in the truck and banged my head on the roof oops. I love it so far.

How do we know you dropped it with your banged head and all you didn't post any real believable pictures for evidence.:metal:

Blocked out my tailgate, painted it, and got it reinstalled. Glad that's done I had no enthusiasm for it at all, I just wanted it fixed.

Installed the new ChevyDuty polished stainless door sills that just arrived. For an off the shelf aftermarket part the quality of the polished finish is amazing.
