I still can't post pics but I have installed my bed ,cab and one door. I also will be installing my windshield and rear window. Has anyone used gmcpauls window seals? Are they a good fit?

Well this day in history I did walk by my truck twice to get to the weed eater. No fun today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Yesterday- spent 6 hrs sand blasting and wire wheeling the bottom of the cab. Then degreased, prepped and painted it with rubberized coating.
Today- another 6 hrs, sand blasted and wire wheeled then cleaned the drip rail, window channel and rocker areas. POR 15 in the drip rail (seam sealer is next) and painted the other stuff.

Opened my box of cab mounting bushings and hardware from Wes at Classic Heartbeat. Daydreamed about driving the truck (yes driving) all the way to Vegas for a complete frame off at Kount's Customs.

Could you imagine driving a 3 speed manual, 4:11 rear end all the way to Vegas? I'd stay on country roads all the way (so as not to get run over), tow a trailer behind with all my own restoration parts, have 4 complete spares and 20 gallons extra gas, and try to traverse the desert at night only!

Picked it up from the bodyshop yesterday and changed the starter today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I think I'm officially a hoarder.

Ok, this isn't news. I'm way more into buying tools that make it easier to work, and parts that, well, I need someday.

As a loon, I think more tools are more better. I bought a Chinese arbor press for $10 last weekend. Do I want Chinese tools? No. But for the price, I couldn't turn it down.

I also work in bursts and lose interest. I have fixed core support and fixed inner fenders ready to be blasted, but I'm a puss on 2k paint. I assume I'm going to poison myself, or not clean the gun properly and ruin it.

If I had more confidence on the paint part, I'd get more work done...

(Oh, great admiration for those who get work done)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I did a little pressure washing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

A little pressure washing? I'd say!

You washed off your whole front clip! LOL

Is that a log jammed in your left front wheel assembly?

ITTR

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I have to ask why is there a log in you a-arm?;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Yes it is a log and there's one on the right side to. The truck has Airbags and the log is holding up the suspension to keep the bags from over extending. It works. LOL :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I once drove a truck from Ocatillo Wells to San Diego with a log wedged and duct taped between the I-beam and frame holding the driver's side up after ripping a coil over off (never forget your droop straps). They don't make good suspension components but it got the truck home.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Well, hopefully I don't have to use the log while driving.

"If it's stupid but it works, it's not stupid." Some really smart person said that.

I transported the entire front clip, save hood and radiator core support, from a 1967 Chevy truck 350 miles all tucked into a 1988 2 door Honda Accord. The look on the girl's face when I went through the McDonald's drive through in Greenville, NC was PRICELESS.

replaced the plug for my taillight and now i have brake lights and turn signals working all the way around. Painted glove box cover black yesterday to match with the dash bezel. Came out pretty good, would have been better but i didnt have any sandpaper to wet sand and smooth it out.

13 years after I finished the truck, and lowering it, and two years after I bought the parts, I finally got around to putting on my rear shock relocation brackets. Wouldn't you know it? Brothers sent me the wrong rear shocks. Ended up digging the old ones out of the trash and putting them back on. Still, big difference, even with the old shocks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Just got back home from vacation...As if I wasn't lucky enough to say that my whole life has been a vacation for the last five years!...

First stop on this trip was a car show in San Luis Obispo (actually Arroyo Grande). A friend had his '65 GTO in the show and I joined him in
the Friday night cruise.

Sadly, only one of our trucks was entered out of over at least a hunderd cars and other trucks. More sadly, our truck is still in paint jail.

I asked a vendor of die-cast cars if he had a 67-72 Chevy truck. He was unloading his wares and scratched his head..."I think I have a 7
'72 Cheyenne, but I'm not sure."

I said, "I'll come back later", pretty much knowing I'd get to see something tasty but not close to a silver, lowered short bed fleet running 20's.
Mine's a '68 w/a '71 front clip.

I was going to get it, anyway...whatever he had. I love all the 67-72's.

Went back and he had this:

Oh, the mirrors broke off. Strange kismet...again...I'm not running stock mirrors.
