Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Drove mine. In fact i've driven it everyday this week. Nothing like having two downed vehicles at the moment. Not suffering too bad, actually loving everything but the fuel milage!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I like those gauges, wish I had gone that route..I used sport comps because at the time it was the direction the truck was headed, now I want a more vintage look, here is my gauge panel...alot like yours

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

No it is a stock 230. Next I am in the market for a Holley 390 cfm carb and a Offenhauser single quad manifold to fix the Rochester stumble.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks. The grill is CLOSE, but not perfect. It has a little tear and some minor rust on the top bar near the driver's side. I'm hoping a little grinding, a minor MIG repair and re-chroming (someday!) will make it right. I recently had to take part of it apart and found the price tag on it: $650:crazy: Then I went on eBay and saw one with 14 bids on it up to $800. That's REALLY crazy.

As for the fogs - I got them for $10 at an Estate Sale recently and they cleaned right up - so I HAD to try them on my truck. I haven't decided how much I like them yet. I'm fine with the truck being Old School but I'm Old Man enough all by myself!:lol: I don't need to add to it in that way.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I put a $10 rebuild kit in mine. Fixed the stumble. The acc. pump gets dried out and does'nt work.;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I've been sanding and sanding and sanding on my hood to get the high build primer where I want it. Damn, these hoods are big and with a lot of nooks.

Man I know what you are talking about.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Rebuilt the starter today. Brushes were ground down to nubs :)
Went to get gas and it wouldnt start back up. thought the battery was toast but a diff battery showed otherwise.

Napa couldnt even find anything for a starter on a 305 v6. All they could find was stuff for a 305 v8. Finally a mechanic from the back came out and grabbed some brushed out of a box and said "Here's what ya need" No computer and parts book needed. If it wasnt for him the ladies at the counter woulda been tryin to sell me a whole starter for $90.00 that MIGHT be the rite one! The brushes only cost me $3.65 :)

[vent] Nothing cause mother nature is a tease. It's 60 and sunny at 2 this afternoon and by the time I get home at 5 it's 40 and breezy. Now it's sleeting sideways with predicted snowfalls of 2 inches over night. Supposed to be back to 60 when I go back to work on Monday. [vent off]

Looks great! The tube was kind of hard to get in there. I should have went square aswell.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I got the rear axle seals changed in my 62 and the rear brakes and cylinders and finished up my tail gate latches, look !! No Chains !!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

What did you use for your donor tailgate? I'm guessing 88-98 C1500 but want to be sure. I've been wanting to do the same thing. Looking good.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I got the wiring harness out of the new (used) cab and put the new firewall pad in (what a pia) and loosely installed steering column and ready to put my harness in the new cab.

I was gonna try and use the new harness but it is different than mine and has other options I don't need plus I onlt got the inside part not the matching exterior harness.

I don't want any surprises later. I know my original harness is good so gonna use it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Nice work on the tail gate!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got some base color (POR-15 Silver) on the new motor... Not much in the grand scheme of things but its progress...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Hey, progress is progress. I sat on my ass all day and watched it rain :waah:
I was hoping to get out and finish up painting my bed, but mother nature said no. This weeks project: find some new tires and rims (easier said than done), and get the damn thing painted.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finished up the weekend project clean up! Finally dove into betty jean and removed the front clip and the 6 cyl and 3 spd trans. Maybe start my build page this weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Dont stop yet, you have the hard part almost done. what do you have in mind for the chev?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

removed rear springs, made some bag brackets for rear control arms, and finished painting my new valve covers.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Hey DW, why did you put a spacer on the bottom of the airspring?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

i dont have any kind of notch yet and wanted the frame to hit the axle bumper at about the time the bag is aired out. I'll make new lowers once i have time and money to do a notch. maybe even a behind-the-axle bag mount...
