Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Didn't get much done this weekend.

My 11 year old welded up a couple holes in bed cross members so we can reuse them for the flat bed.

I bought a chrome rear bumper that was on craigslist. The guy didn't know if it was original or aftermarket so I made the 60 mile drive and found it was an older Chinese aftermarket bumper but I bought it anyway at a reduced price. I ordered up bumper and license plate brackets from Classic Industries. After modifying 1 bumper bracket and the plate bracket I got the bumper mounted today. It's not running to good right now but it looks a little nicer.

Just a small job but has made a big difference to my interior - and something I've wanted to do for the past two years..

Many thanks to Jeff [62 Longbed] who sent all of the necessary parts to mount my horn button (including the button itself!) across the pond for a great price :thumbs:

Finally killed the squeaky clutch pedal. I have squirted here and there and could never get the high pitch squeal to go away. Finally dug under the dash and realized I had bee bitten again by the PO-itis. I disconnected the clutch push rod to lube the pivot bolt. I pulled the rod out and the last 2 inches had a 20 degree bend in it so when you pushed in the pedal the bent angle part of the rod was rubbing really hard against the cup of the master cylinder so it screached going in and out. Straightened the rod, re-installed, presto magico no more screaching!!!! Maybe my wife won't be afraid to ride in the truck with me now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got the seats all reinstalled. Replaced the bolts on the inside door panel, and put the front bumper back on after having it re-chromed! Sent the front grille to get sandblasted and then painted a matte-black, it was just more affordable than having it de/re-chromed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got my panels back from the powder coater. Rebuilt the regulators, put sound deadoner in the doors, adjusted the plate so the doors close smooth, new arm rests, new felts and rubber. I wish I would have picked up some new screws and handles. Back to classic parts. :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got the stainless trimmed windshield back in place after what seems like a month of prep. Thankfully it was very uneventful.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks for the kind words Barney (UK62LW) the interior is looking good my friend !!!!! Glad I could Help you out .... :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Parked it. Once I can get a couple other projects out of the way she's going in the shop, I'm through with that inline 6. Sure it is a cool old engine, but the cool factor doesn't make up for the poor drivability and even worse fuel economy. Soon to be for sale: Chevy 292 with new HEI distributor, rebuilt carb, and SM420 4-speed transmission......:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::cuss:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Nice...what year set up did you use...I sandblasted and painted mine from a 93 S-10 blazer and It looks brand new....:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got the front leaf spring hangers off today so I can start fabbing up new ones!! Yay for progress!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finished putting all the parts back on the truck, returning it to service. I always miss driving it when it’s torn apart, so I try to keep it those periods as short as possible.

I’m also looking for input on whether adding the chrome locking strip around the rear window would be an improvement, and does anyone know how long they hold up or if there are any problems with the chrome version?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got the front swaybar mounted after the 84 front suspension swap.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

over the last two days ordered porterbuilt rear bag kit, CPP sway bars, CPP disc brake kit with 2.5" spindles, 2" springs and matching shocks. Need to get some tear down happening!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

My chrome strip has been in for several months and I like the look of it. Problem is I haven't seen any others to know how they hold up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Heres a pic of the back window w/the chrome lockstrip

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Liking the look. Do they make it for the big back window? LMC?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Found it on LMC. 15 bucks for the BBW.
