Re: What did you do to your truck today?
(repost from my build thread..)
...been awhile since I've worked on the 'burban.. So--my motivation level is up and spread amongst my '61 Biscayne, '48 Ford and the old 'Burb.. I spent a bunch of hours today plug welding various holes drilled over the past 48 years on the interior floor and panels.. I then decided that there was no way to make the "cut-outs" on the rear roof gutter area look good. So--I set out to repair them. They ended up looking really good--I'm very happy. I considered this to be a pretty difficult repair due to the need to MIG so close to the body-roof seam without getting any stray boogers stuck in the seam, while satisfactorily making the repair. Here's the before and after. (Passenger and Driver's side were hacked the same..) http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=18250 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=18249 And after.. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=18248 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=18247 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=18252 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=18251 Now--I'll have to put new drain slots/holes in.. What are they supposed to look like and if anyone has a picture to display their approximate location-please post it here. This is the front A-Pillar drain.. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=18253 And-the drain hole/slot above the first side window.. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=18254 |

Got the cab high build primed - a few spots I'm unhappy with on the back of the cab - but keep telling myself that once the bed is on who in god's name is going to see it lol

I installed my new chrome mirrors, chrome outer door handles and lock cylinder, new door control and removed the grill and bumper.. Was going to install the new chrome grill and bumper but my headlamp wiring is getting old so I decided to upgrade that first.. This pic is grill/bumper removed

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Short report.
Took the Truck and Grizz-Pod to the Retro Rides Gathering '13 the past weekend. Left by 09.00 on Friday morning, got there by 14.00 which included about an hours stpping along the way for coffee and relaxing. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps970430ad.jpg At the show, Tim my mate who also drives a '74 Chevy camper truck gave me this rev counter for the truck. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps103f60be.jpg Friday night after BBQ this was the view in the camping field. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pse2be26b6.jpg On Saturday Tim was off to do some shopping, on his return he did some maintenance, almost disappearing into the engine bay. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psb71958a8.jpg I left the show before 2pm on Sunday as I had to detour to pick up a pillar drill I had bought a couple of weeks ago in Buckingham. I had collected some spare seats for Nicola's MX5 which moved into the teardrop once I collected the drill. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps8e3f7115.jpg Who said this truck should not work ? http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps79f4f11e.jpg Assembled, cleaned and serviced. Good value at £80.00 http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psdceb5218.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps1e522262.jpg I will do a more complete write up with pics when I get time. In the mean time the truck still pleases me. Thanks for checking in. |
Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Nice looking drill press. How much is 80.00 in dollars. I have a question how much is gas in your local area.
I do like your truck trailer combo. |
Re: What did you do to your truck today?
truck and trailer combo is cool, fun way to travel.

Some of y'all may have already seen this. It's an interview of me with my truck. The guy has a youtube channel that highlights the local shows.
