Got the old rear end out today,still hoping to get the trailing arms off today as well. Picked up a load of media,hoping to get the back half blasted and primed come the weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Put rear wheel cylinders on the 66. Set the distributor in the 62 and tried on the valve covers my wife bought me for Father's Day. Hope to get the 62 started this weekend.

Pappyx4!

I will be running a set of heads just like those. What type alternator bracket are you running.

Lugnutz,that's a clean looking 6.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Mounted driver door and fender. :metal::metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Lugnutz,

I really like the color you choose for that 6 cylinder! Wiring is coming along too, you'll have that truck on the road before you know it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

The bracket that's on it know is the "Long Bracket" from Summit Racing. I am planning on changing it to the "Short Bracket" the long one mounts to the thermostat housing bolt, it keeps vibrating the bolts loose in the T-stat.

Pappyx4!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

That color is AWESOME!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Sum 4016 is the kit that is on my truck currently.

Sum 4017 is the one I will probably switch to.

Hope this helps!

Since I am in Southern California for the brothers truck show I drove my truck to the truck and car shop and spent some money

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Spent time with the family, smoked a chicken, made a patch for my bed, had a few beers, had some wild turkey 101, enjoyed life!

A busy weekend.

Today It was off to Hamstreet with Nicola and Martin on the bikes to a bike show and auto jumble. Followed by a run up the M20 to Wateringbury near Maidstone for another car and bike show, which was more of an excuse for a huge party and tons of Harley's together together.
Home by about 4pm and swopped bike and truck about.

Martins Eddie Lawson Replica 1100cc Kawasaki behind Nicola who was being a clown all day, when we were filling up this morning.

Nicola snapped this pic of me headed to the Swapmeet...... She said I looked like a man on a mission. Wearing Clem's party shirt from last year.

My bargain of the day........ Been looking for something heavy duty like these for some time, found them on a traders stand at the bike swap meet.

Managed to get a deal on 10 of them, 4 for my truck and 6 for Martins long bed to tie his V-Rod down once the truck is completed. Paid £3.20 each in stead of £4.00 each.

Once countersunk and bolted down with countersunk head bolts in the rear bed, it will make the truck even more useful.

Little by little the bits are coming together.

Oooo Haze Gray. I like that idea. :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

I gave my truck a black eye! (Installed my grille and lights today, I found that somehow I only sandblasted one of the headlight bezels and the other was still black - so I installed it this way just for the pic . . . .:lol::lol::lol:).

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

What I did today! lol

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Mine is more of what I made my truck do, vs what did I do to my truck...

Helped a good buddy move. Crazy how comfy my Panel is with a load in it...

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Shook My kid up at 4:20 and drove home from LA in the Truck. That was about 400 miles. This is the only picture I got from the Brothers Truck Show.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Got my front end suspension kit off the fedex truck and went picked up the 12 bolt rear to replace the old ho32.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Got the hood, grill support and both inner fenders back from the media blaster. Then proceeded to spray out the pieces with epoxy primer. Now I remember why I don't do painting. :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Looks like you guys were with good company.:chevy:

Daily driver project...

Drove it to work for the first time today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Nice! I bet that felt great!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Yes, very cool. 'Been awhile since she's been on the road.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Ordered the Altman Easy Latch kit and some new Door Hinge sets. :)
Cleaned up and arranged the sheet metal in the shop. Put together the parts that need media blasting. Getting ready to remove the cab from the frame to cut out the 3-speed cross-member and rear trans cross member, may have to get a welding guy in here with a torch though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

It's funny how mostly everyone is restoring there trucks specifically so they can rive em to work. Always feels good to accomplish the first maiden voyage. Cool truck also

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III

[QUOTE=blown240;7225669]Today I got my exhaust tucked up better, and lowered the torsion front about 4 inches.

Like the new stance, and the logo looks awesome.

Pappyx4!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

I ground off the rivets to remove mine. Wasn't too bad of a job. Plenty of room to work the crossmember out once the rivets are gone.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Saw the truck at the show and it looked great!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

well haven't posted anything on this thread in awhile! but I got some updates, I went to clemdaddy's Saturday and picked up both of my doors I dropped off awhile back, also got a smoked grey big back window! then on Monday I came home from work and my gauges came in! I also added two pics from off the website of what the gauges looked like that made me buy them! there the last two pics

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

got these doors for fathers day, been in someones loft for 30 years most of the rubber and window channel felt decent shape,exterior has a few dents and little rust,but much better then what i have nowAttachment 1421646

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Bought this stuff from someone parting out his project. He bought the parts in 2005.
CPP Aluminum tank
CPP Master cylinder and booster
CPP 5 lug rotors
CPP Calipers
Tubular upper and lower control arms (look like Western Chassis)
Trailing arms that I have yet to identify (the guy thought it was all CPP but it's not)

I'm not sure if I'm going to use the lower control arms because the spring bucket looks a little low. The Western website doesn't say anything about these being drop control arms so I'll have to look into it. Got a good package deal price so I couldn't say no.
