Put some new tires on the front. It is amazing how much difference that makes.

Took out the fuel tank, windshield & rear window in prep for a cab swap. All that's left is pulling the doors & heater assembly.

Oh, and actually buying a cab...

Picked up my truck from the A/C shop after having a Vintage Air system installed. Currently suffering from buyer remorse. May last till the first hot Texas day. Sure cleaned up the engine compartment.

Today I will be getting my shop a little closer to being ready to start a total teardown and rebuild of my 69. Have owned this truck for 36 years, and after it's last official work day last fall, will now start drawing social security.....;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 
Today I went out to check a lead on a couple of trucks. After talking to the guy at the shop, I maniged to grab a pair of 69 fenders and hood for $60. I really needed the right front fender because mine was damaged when the P/O put her in a ditch. The hood is better then mine also, so I may use it. I came home to get my truck to go get the parts only to find out my starter is shot.....again. I borrow Mom's dodge and went and picked up my parts. Looks like I have to drive the Z28 to work and change starter tomorrow.

Today I upgraded from some plain aluminum valve covers and chrome air cleaner to finned aluminum replacements. Also a few other cleanup items under the hood.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 
Great day today! Spent the morning installing the new lock set, gauge cluster bezel with LED bulbs, and passenger mirror on Sprout, followed by some chrome polish on the bumpers and wheel trim. Then my wife and I took Angus to the local building supply store to pick up some trim material for our guest house remodel. Turns out Angus' tailgate is the perfect height for me to use as a workbench for cutting trim with my mitre saw. Wrapped the day up by driving Sprout to the store to pick up dinner. The weather was PERFECT today so I was thinking of excuses to drive the trucks and just be outside all day!

In hindsight, I wish I'd have taken some pictures today...

I went to the truck @ 0-Dark:30 and adjusted the auto choke rod ~ it was a shade too much choke when cold , now it idles much smoother as it warms up .

That bed liner looks really nice ! .

So do the rest of the trucks here , makes my old rig look junkyard ready .
