Thanks magwakeenercew2jh! I appreciate the compliment. I've wanted to do this since I got the truck 7 years ago and finally got to it. Would you believe it all started with having to fix a sticky shift lever? It kinda snowballed.

Ordered $200 worth of moog stuff :) Havent bought truck stuff in ages, cant wait to get back to TN and play with it in June!!!!!!!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Fixed my rusty/leaky windshield(hopefully)lip/seams & rusty dash. I'm not ready to paint the rest of the truck for a year or two so it was kind of a patch job. Oh well looks better than it did before and matches the trucks theme: looks good from far but far from good!

Well after re-gasketing the motor, changing all fluids, new HEI , rebuilt carb, I finally started it for the first time. After not having a good connection at the junction for the fusible link delayed the start, once I figured it out and cleaned the terminal, it fired on the first crank. Now fix the brakes and we will take it on its maiden voyage!

I like the white top and moldings add. And I guess it's the drop and pic angle but that bed looks 10' long. ;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Built new exhaust tonight, super 44 mufflers 2 1/2" with 3" turndowns, sounds a bit louder than I thought it would but forgetting Hp makes noise, sure nice noise though. Lights up the 38.5" tires in 2wd without even trying.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Here is the pics of the new rear bumper with the LED's mounted......looks a lot better than the cheesy homemade roll pan the Orig Owner built.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Well, last night at 11:30 I was chasing a squeek..Sort of thud. I finally found it using a garden hose and a couple of extra arms and knees, shaking the truck.

It was coming from the gas tank area right around where the filler connects to the tank...at least that's what it sounded like. Since I'd just replaced the tank
(with a ton of "anti-squeek gaskets"), and the noise was *definitely* coming from a rub between the tank and cab, I looked, and looked, and looked. Took out
the sender to make sure there was no contact with the inside of the tank. Loosened the gas tank bolts, moved crap around.

Before I finally went to the trouble of pulling the tank, I climbed under with a 5/8" socket and checked the driver's side rear cab mount. The bolt turned
about a half a turn while I was giving it about 70-80 ft lbs.

That was the clack-clunk-squeek...Telegraphing itself up the cab and into the walls of the gas tank so clearly that I would have *sworn* it was a
tank/cab rubbing.

A fine day.

Here's the same bolt...but on the passeger's side. I better check that one, too.

Finally got the bed on :metal: Now just have to set all the gaps, sand & buff, then finish interior install. Wont be long now. I would like to thank everyone on this forum for all of the priceless information & knowledge that I frequently referred to!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I got real crazy with my truck today! Get this...I used it as a truck! :crazy: Crazy I know, but some times you have to go outside the norm.
