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

I asked him that awhile ago.
He said it was simple, the Burb is hers.

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

SLOWLY making progress as a part-time weekend warrior.

Rebuilding the 1986 front axle assembly to replace the '64 unit. New front axle u-joint installed and finally got the steering arm and tie rod nuts removed (with a little help from the torch!).

Steering arm removal is next once I get the cones out. That should be fun!

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

OK pimpston65, I agree that's a nice hood. At least what I can see is really nice. What about the lower front flange? Chevy or GMC hood?

I entered my truck in it's first car show today. I wasn't expecting coming home with any trophies because I came late to the show. It turned out to be a good day, I came home with six and one of them was best in show.

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

LDO, I remember when I did mine. It was a real pain until I got it all off. Looking good!

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

Thanks!

I've been using this orange gel stuff and it works really good with no bad odor. It doesn't burn the skin off either like the old military stuff I used a long time ago.:lol:

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

Lugnutz,
thanks a ton for posting your pictures! I thought there was something wrong with the hole for the column, that little edge that's bent outward, I thought mine was jacked! LOL

So either both our trucks are jacked or it's factory!:lol:

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

Finished the drivers side bedside, it's now 20" shorter and took two weekends and about 16 hours. Still have to stitch weld it all together. Patched up the backside too.

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

put the bed on and plumbed rear brake lines. pressure washed the firewall.

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

Good to see you got it back together. That's awesome!

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

Sunday afternoon did some work on the 66. Changed the oil, replaced the muffler and fixed all the lights. Now onto to some brake work and get ready for its first trip on the road in a while.

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

Finally got the cab back from the blaster.

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

And off the trailer onto my converted O Reilly's cart. A little work to do on it, but over all a real good cab. This came from the yard here in Longmont.

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

Not exactly today, but a little while back. Cab was the last piece to prep.

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

lee64,
That's terrific. Nice clean cab to work with. It will make your build go so much faster. Overall that's a really nice cab with minimal rust. Mine was similar but I never had an opportunity to get mine blasted. What's next?

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

Oh, and the main ingredient. 383 Stroker mated to a 700r4.

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

Dude! Awesome. Hurry up and get that thing done so you can drive it. LOL!

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

Lugnutz65, a year and 5 months now. But it's in the garage with etch primer on it. 3 weeks and it will be sitting on the frame and the rest of the pieces attached. I'll let it sit in primer till winter and drive it in the meantime. Then take it back down enough to paint. Getting tired of setting in the old cab making vroom , vroom sounds, lol.

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

Same for me. Been 3.5 years but I will rewire it next month and hope to drive the truck in primer by September. Just like you, but slower. Haha!

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

That was before I took it apart. haha Now its back together and in need of some serious valve adjustment. ;)
