I got the windshield and rear glass installed today. Then instal a new dash pad and started to assemble the glove box.

So, it didn't pass inspection. failed because of one ball joint and there's no windshield washer.

sorry to hear that man I'm glad we don't have inspections in MT they would probably seize my truck and throw me in prison

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Took a drive and ended up at the locally-owned burger joint. So, what's a guy to do? Sit outside and eat a burger....Watch the truck.
I parked far enough away. Then, the folks with walkers decided to descend upon RAT.

Freaky how that happens.

Got two "Nice Truck"s today. That always makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Broke into a Napa auto parts yesterday...

A friend and I were out making the rounds and pulled in to get some gas, right next door is the Napa, so we walked over to se if they had a few parts. Sigh said open so we walked in. 2 steps through the door and the alarm started going off. We stopped, looked at each other and looked around. I checked again and the open sigh was lit up and the door was definitely unlocked... We stood there for a couple minutes the lights in the front were off but the lights in the back were on. The phone rang and my buddy answered it " Napa auto parts" it was the alarm company. He told the lady on the other end what happened and that we were not sure if there was anyone there, we suspected that the store was empty, but we were unsure. After that we left and didn't wait for the cops to show up... I am guessing whoever "locked up" will be in pretty big trouble.

Probably have you on video. Just hope that some young cop isn't looking for his first B&E case. lol

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I'm not worried. If we are on tape we are definitely in the clear.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Right you are, Tom.

And lots of days when I first roll out of bed, I feel like I should have a gold-plated blue placard.

;):waah:;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I got my caliper brackets cut out and ready to install.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I brought my '69 chassis home from my son's house. He didn't want me to do that for the past couple of years...fearing I would sell it and all my other stuff. It's painted and totally apart. Gotta get to work!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

This all started last weekend.

I blacked out the grill a bit. I didn't want it all black but to darken it up a bit

I liked that small mod so I pulled off the emblems to darken them up a bit. All black was too much so I matched the body color. I don't have pics of the medium olive but they didn't really work so I went to the paint store to get something else. They suggested mixing without the metallic.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Spent a couple hours pulling the hubs, brakes, spindles, and all the brake lines off the front of the 74 to transplant into the 69. Anyone know if I can just replace the 69 balljoints with 74s and slap the spindles in? Parts store didn't have any 69s to compare to.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I don't know but I think there was an older thread that covered " disc brake up grade " and went into this in great detail .

You *might* have to change the tie rod ends too .
