Just test fitted a GMC door on my 59 Chevy TF. Fits just like the chevy only takes different hinge bolts.

185deg here in Phoenix !

All I did was add new gas on the old stuff in hopes the motor will fire.
It'll run if fuel is added directly but ...... so simple stuff 1st. See if its flowing from the tank then on to the pump.

So with the heat I was thinking as I was adding the fuel ...... I hope this stuff dont catch fire if it drips on sumthin :devil:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Sound deadner, pad, carpet, seats, and console are in, Yippee, now to wiring door panels, trim and few hundred more details.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

if you don't mind could you tell me what your seats came out of? and do the center up with the steering wheel? Thanks

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Sorry, I do not have clue, bought them from a reseller on CL, could find no markings, maybe a Dodge or F..., and yes they do because I made the brackets to mount them. Bonus is the console is high enough I can put my ebrake out of a camero back under it.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

that looks awsome, :metal:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Cleaned and painted all the door hinge bolts. Installed the door strikes. Found that when I bought the latch/strike set in 09 I was sent two passenger latches. The guy I bought them from has not sold anything in a year on ebay, I suspect he was just a third party broker, address on the shipping receipt is different from the package address return label. I emailed him to see if I can get it replaced, don't expect success, so will probably end up selling my extra and getting a replacement on Ebay.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Fabric came in today for my seat, taking it to the upholstery shop tomorrow.
It's vintage material that was used in impalas, not sure what year but I liked the pattern and the shade of black that it was.

Installed the visor, thinking I will paint it and the roof white.........

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Nice, is it metal? Mine is fiberglass, don't like it too much. It's got waves and other things that drive me crazy.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Thanks Daze, me too it sure could have been worse I was driving a logging truck when I had the first seazure. 75000#s of logs and truck. i managed to get stopped then drove 5 miles to find a place to park.Sort of a hard day at the office:lol:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

is that the 'hounds tooth" pattern?

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

It is fiberglass. Seems to be decent quality, I picked it up at a swap meet and kind of forgot about it until recently when I was cleaning out the shed. Fits really nice and has no waves in it. We will see what happens when it gets out in the sun for a while.

Yes it could have been. In the 80's I had a friend in his early 40's driving his family on vacation, he was in the motor home with his daughter and a couple of their friends, wife was following in the Jeep with another son. He had a massive heart attack driving 60 on a two lane rural road. Some how managed to hang on long enough to get is slowed down so it just slowly stopped on the shoulder. It was in the middle of nowhere but did not make any difference, aeorta exploded.

Daze, glad to hear you are still cancer free. My Mom lived 15 years after she was diagnosed with inoperable, etc. lung cancer, then went into spontaneous remission after going to a faith healer.

I worked on the drink holders and minor stuff under the seats. Manged to punch a 1/16" hole in the front of one leather seat, grrr, but now I don't have to worry about hurting them. It is where you can't seem it and I will get some of that fixing goo so it doesn't spread.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

just goes to show it only takes a fraction of a second and lifes are changed.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

i worked on my floor supports and cleaned up where the cross brace is going. Then punched some holes for plug welds on the floor. in the morning I will change the posision of the temporary brace on the cab supports. I will also get the floor braces in that go from the toe board to the beace in front of the seat.That is if Murphy leaves me alone

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

som pics top left is the new floor support They are 12Ga with pockets made from tubing and grade 8 washers.Bottom is the new cross brace. and top right is the floor supports with temporary brace and the cross brace. The 2 tubes on top will tie the cross brace and the floor supports to the toe board.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Finally got the newly rebuilt engine installed over the weekend. I found that the one that was in it had about a pound of JB Weld on each side painted to hide the cracks. Good times with my father and my son. The replacement was built by us in my carport..honing and all.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

Not much i just got started this morning and got a phone call, My dad had a front drive axle bearing cam apart in the log truck. so that was the end of that:lol:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I went and looked at some panels and burbs. I am trying to decide if it is worth going across the country to get one that is mostly rust free when you could just buy one with some rust locally and save thousands.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Depends on if the rust is in a place where you can get replacement panels or not. I think everything from the doors forward is same a pickup, but back quarters and doors are unique and not reproduced. Whats your time worth and do you relish the challenge of doing the bodywork??

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I think between what Jim carter sells and a donor truck cab it would be covered. Hard to say though.
