Got both new seats mounted and wired tonight. The six way, lumbar and heaters all work. I wired the heaters so that if the switch is left on and you unbuckle the seat belt they will automatically cutoff.:chevy:

Got my frame back on the ground. Had 2 flat tires previously, so technically it would not roll anywhere. Sorry for the cell phone pics.

Attachment 1329058after a couple attempts at sanding polishing the turbine/hurricane/? rims I decided to powder coat chrome with black recess between the fins. Got the chrome on. Now I need to clear coat and then tape and put the black p/coat on.

Changed the pushrod cover gaskets and valve cover gasket yesterday. Today I cahnged the oil pressure sensor. Now no oil leaks, yea.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

C50 new springs and supplemental air bags and bowtie installed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Well I hate to admit it but it was 77 here today so all I did was drive it. Wed high may be as high as 40 with snow likely.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Finally tightened the throttle return spring and discovered a fuel leak, fixed it bet that improves my MPG. and it's so cool to have my engine RPMs drop down to it's base idle between shifts.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

well i put my steering wheel back on after i pulled it off while backing into my garage. so that was a scary experience.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Bought a painless wiring harness kit for my '71 GMC.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Just put a 3/5 drop on ol Owen tonight. No pictures yet as its dark outside. I will post some tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Replaced turn signal switch due to Hazard button broke. Replaced with original style red button.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Bought an AAW wire harness from MCB Matt. I'm about to see how deep the water is and if I can swim. LOL!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

MoFormula...I am right there with ya brother I started on mine today. Took the seat out, tore the dash down, took thresholds off and took the tires off and put the truck on jack stands. Waiting on my crimpers from AAW and my wire looms this week..should get rolling by Friday evening! :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Started grinding away some bad body work.... just getting started on a complete tear down and frame off and started a new build thread. Wish me luck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Placed my order with LMC for a new gas tank, sending unit, filler neck grommet, and turn signal lever. Got the jitters pulling the trigger on what has been my biggest expenditure on this truck so far. Went ahead and topped it off with a new fuel pump, hard line, and a few tools to make everything happen. To make things sweeter, I had one of my regular customers donate a pair of HD coil over rear shocks that he had taken off a 72 K20. They should go nicely on Grunt.
Hoping to have almost everything together enough to start driving him to work on a regular basis within the next week or two. Thank goodness I live in a small town, the cops know me, and know that my truck used to be driven by the guy who used to service their cruisers. That should let me drive him around my town without to much trouble.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

How long did your build take?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Installed new 15" Grant steering wheel. I do like the extra room! Also changed oil/filter--one of my favorite things to do on a crisp fall day in S Texas.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Upgraded to the best pair of shocks Monroe offered for a smooth ride, did some wiring work. My heater fan wasn't working. Installed a new steering gear box. Hope to have time to drive it some tomorrow, I'm tired and hungry this evening.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

On my 70 CST, removed rear coil springs, replaced trailing arm, pulled and replaced a long bed passenger side, ground off some rust on the frame. Didn't make a ton of progress, but had beautiful weather to work outdoors; very therapeutic.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Finally my pittman arm came in, installed it and took her for a spin, with those new shocks and that new steering gear box it's a new truck, just a sweet old ride. Just what I wanted.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Out with the old in with the new. Almost ready to blast.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Got the new fuel pump in, along with the new alternator bracket, now it moves fuel, and the belt doesn't squeal. Half way through getting the turn signal switch replaced, and still need to get a few other things done. Hopefully tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Finally started tearing my truck down for new suspension and drivetrain. Pretty excited :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

What did you have to do to install the cup holder? I like the look and want to put one in my '72 Stepper.
Thanks.

Added hub cap and a bow tie to the hub cap.
It took longer than expected.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Man I would love to drive that thing around in my area.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Should be plenty of C50's in Kansas! Just cut the frame behind the cab and add a Topkick rear frame and shorten a 10lug front axle drop it in. And you'll be driving one!
Brake lines are next for me then paint.
Thanks!
