Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

After 1.5 years I finally got it started and drove it around the block. Found out I need to raise the bed about an inch to clear the shock mounts and I have to install some spacers on the rear end cause the rear tires are rubbing on the bed sides. Unfortunetly that means I have to get longer wheel studs, that sucks just when I thought I was close to getting to drive it again.

Im cheating. I have a 1950 (It fits the year requirements of the thread) International L110.
I moved the front frame brace back about 8" to shorten the frame horns.

Bent some 5/8" bar stock into ring to create a place to pass the frame brace through.

Hahaha!! That is what the "must" is for. There is no backing out :lol:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Got up at 5a.m. and dropped the motor and trans in before the heat. Its 7:30 now and already 84.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Looks good crossfire84 with BB thier should be no shortage of torque or power. I live about 100 mi. north of you and found if I work with doors and windows closed fan running at floor level the humidity and heat isn't as bad.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

:lol:Getting ready for some overhead welding.:lol:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

thanks for the tip!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Scored a Presmog Qjet off a running truck for $30, it even came with the choke heat dog house (that I bought for my Chevelle for $20). Cleaned it up and will install tomorrow. This replaces the one I had put on it, but pulled when the Chevelle Holley went Tango Uniform. Also figured out the AC, just need to get a couple of bulkhead fittings and I can get the hoses done and the unit installed.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

nothing, too darn hot, went to a local car show. here are a few shots.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I looked at it.And tryed to introduce my wife to the DA sander, didn't have much luck though:lol:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Really I just took some pictures. I finished the welding on the coil-over mounts and cleaned the rear end up a little yeasterday.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Looking sharp mknittle

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Lookin' Good. What brand of coilover are you going to use?

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Thanks Rollenhard and chevette


Chevette,
I am using QA1 Alumamatics with 250# springs.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

It's 96 here, still too hot to do any outside work but I did get my radiator overflow tank installed. This tank is out of a Ford van (can I use that word here, LOL) I just wandered around Pull-A-Part until I saw one that looked like I wanted. It fits good and only took a couple of "L" brackets to bolt it up. I also got a windshield washer bottle and pump out of an S-10 but haven't installed that yet.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I turned it upside down.

I took the doors off And started working out a plan to replace rusty floor panels

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I installed the forward tilting hood kit last week now i am trying to work out a plan to build something the hold the hood in place with out that stupid rod it comes with. i think i can do it with a little plasma cuttting and some welding, god i love nice tools lol


Ray

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Yes, nice tools, cold beer (kept cold in one's beer fridge, stationed in the garage). Just wish the neighbors didn't like nice tools and cold beer so much. What brand of plasma cutter do you have. Mine is a Miller 675 Extreme. It works well. Good luck with your hood.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Dug out the stock window and door parts to start cleaning and fabing for one piece windows.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I'd like to see some pics of that procedure. I have the one piece glass and the power assembly, but I don't have the channel and the seal/whiskers. I'll be paying attention and begging for pics.;)

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I saw one that used hatch gas cylinders.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I am planning on looking at the truck through the kitchen window while drinking iced tea. Too blasted hot out and looking for 106 today in S Indiana. I did do some bed wood work this morning from 7-8:30.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

sorry about the double posting

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I put the hood back on, made some wood blocks to get the bed steps level with the cab, took her around the block and smoked the tires just cause I can.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I borrowed it from a guy who built it for his '57 truck. Works great, will also do the frame.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

While the hubby is away, the wifey will play! :D
I took off the rear fenders and went about setting up a game plan on how to get everything out of the bed... but still having trouble since everything is so rusted and decayed. Anyone have any good ideas on how to go about doing that?

Also, quickly realizing that our two car garage is quickly running out of room... Ugh.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Pull the bed or resign yourself to hours of quality time laying under there with a die grinder cutting off the bed strip bolts, there is about 50 or 60 of them, all rusted, recessed in the bed cross sills.

Today I wire wheeled, welded, and did body work on my bed strips. While the JB weld was setting I dug out the door parts and cleaned them. Glad I had rat holed away extra regulators and parts over the years, found out one of mine had a hidden repair that was failing. Need new rollers, otherwise in pretty good shape. Tomorrow am going to modify these parts for one piece windows.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I have one from eastwood i am not sure of the name but i picked up a tig welder at the same time they had a deal on both for $999. so i grab them. So far i am happy with both.
