Received my new clear dome lens from LMC and snapped it in place. The light output is substantially brighter. I'll see if I can photograph the improvement sometime in the next few evenings.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Looked at the truck, and ordered all the customers parts for his Gran Torino project. I know it's a F*rd. :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

You say turbo. you got a build thread, I've been thinking about doing one.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Turbo, just a little one.

I need to start a thread. its almost finished.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Turbo on a six, that's nice. How do you like the T-3 Turbo?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got the last item for my BBC conversion; the alternator plug. Just need to wire it in and I will be ready for a test fire on 4/16/2010:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

NICE JOB!! that'll help...
i build turbo headers at the shop, and two things you should seriously consider (cuase eventually you'll have too) is build a turbo mount (if you allready haven't) that is NOT part of the header,...real important.
and i know its a bit more $$ but well worth it, is do the header pipe out of stainless steel and as much as possible. the exhuast out of the turbo stainless too. mild steel just can't take the heat after a while.
cool ride, thats gonna be fun. , Frank

BOUGHT THE BRAKE LINES AND FITTINGS TO HOPEFULLY GET MY DISC BRAKE CONVERSION DONE THIS WEEKEND :-) WOULD BE NICE TO DRIVE IT INSTEAD OF WORK ON IT EVERYDAY!! JUST PUT MY NEW RALLYS AND TA's ON WED. WILL POST PICS HOPEFULLY MONDAY.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

good score those are getting hard to come by!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yes they have been hard to find recently. I talked to Mooneyes they said they are getting more in stock in about a month. They also said that the metal flake wheels are going back into production and should have more of those in a few months.. So dont pay crazy prices on ebay! be patient..

:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

well I got my big block installed in the 66, and just need to get the trans crossmember mounted, this weekend. Then it's time to swap the cab off the donor truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

used it to put in the boat... way easier on the front end towing hitch then using my pop's 98 2500 on the rear end

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

As long as you got P/S those are great but trying turning the wheels in a tight spot with that steering wheel without P/S and you'll look like Popeye after awhile.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Wrote about it in my build thread!

post up all the pics you take of that 62 getting the cab worked on. I have lots of the same rust outs.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Nearly got the engine wiring harness completed. Everything under the hood is done now I just need to finish up the portion that runs under the dash to the PCM. I'll try to take pictures later this week. I also made mounts for the 95 camaro radiator and the new fuse and relay panel.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Put the 454/400 in its place.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I see you cut your firewall like I did.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

You have to slide the engine forward to get the valve cover off or is there enough room?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

When I cut mine, I made sure I could get the valve covers off. I dont know if you can really see it in these pictures or not.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

in my old truck i used the CPP/ Truck&Car shop mount kit in the stock location and did not have to do any modifications to the firewall. Also I ran full length headers and power steering too...only minor modification needed was a very very minor notch for the driver side primaries to clear the frame rail.

on another note, I ghetto stitched my seat vinyl with some duct tape and then laid a new wool blanket as the cover....pretty neat fix for the time being, plus side was it was all of $18 bucks and an hour of time.:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

New plugs and wires....throttle response and engine idle are waaaay better than before. Although now Im hearing a slight "electric" ticking sound...very faint but its there, could the plugs not be gapped properly? OR could I just be paranoid and my nasty exhaust leak playing with my ears.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Worked on my drip rails, and roof.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Painted my motor finallly, freeze plugs are in the mail, trying to get it done one of these days.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Bought an Arizona hood from Carlisle

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

The painted call me and asked me to stop by and sign off on the wet sanding he did. I've never seen the process and am impressed of just how glass smooth it makes the primer.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
