Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

That's a pretty fender! Dan, I've grumped about Lokar boot fit before but my limited ability has yet to figure out how to mount that brake(I've used 2) in a way that the mounting bolts or nuts don't interfere with what I consider proper mounting of the boot trim ring. I made the valence or standoff in order to have the trim ring screw down flat with 10-24 nutserts(I hate sheet metal screws) and lay flat with the carpet and still be able to remove the brake assembly if needed. Had to do the same thing with the floor mounted shifter. Maybe I'm just too picky but if they made those boot/ trim rings an inch wider on both, the problem would be solved, IMO. I got the angle I wanted by mounting the front of the brake down to the floor and the rear up through the bottom of the floor. Then I had to fabricate a new link for the cables out of 1x3 tubing since the Lokar link isn't wide enough to clear the bolt the mounting ears attach with. A simple redesign would make that brake infinitely more versitile. Close up pics if you want or need.

Resumed work on the gas fill tube. After weeks of trying to find an easy fix, got out the hack saw, hole saw and welder. Hour later think I have a workable solution.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Got the alternator bracket & alternator installed. Bolted up the tensioner to the block. Discovered that I don't have the necessary bolts to mount the PS pump, A, and B that it's going to take another $50 + bolts to finish mounting accessories to the Vortec.
Next go-round, I'm buying a complete engine. Nickeled and Dimed by Ebay...

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

400 mile round trip last night to pick this up...

Sin, You could post pic's of your truck geting groceries and I would stare at it. Picking up a cool little chop is bad azz too!

I was up til 1 am wrestling seat covers onto the frames. Fingers are sore from pulling and hog ringing!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

haha thanks Fisher !.. My wife has actually taken the truck to buy groceries a few times. I keep asking her to take pics in the parking lot but she just rolls her eyes .lol...

Man i know what you're fingers are feeling. I volunteered to help a buddy with his seats and it wasn't easy. We were so tired by the end of it that we didn't even drink the 6 pack we bought to celebrate.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Had to be awesome for the people able to see it at the gas station. Old work horse with a bobber in the back.

What are the specs on the bike?

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Alternator bracket just arrived. Packing up for the commute on Friday. Finishing the fuel lines, installing the new bushings, and situating the clutch/brakes are the goals. Maybe stay in Saturday and work on the seats.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

It was definately exciting driving down the highway and getting thumbsup. This is my first long distance haul with my truck. She did great. I thought the 600lb bike would take a toll on my rear suspension but it held up real well. The bike is a 1400cc Intruder. Motor was rebuilt a few months ago. The previous owner ran into a financial bind and had to part with it. I plan on laying a custom paint job on the tank and reworking the rear fender. Other than that she's ready to enjoy.

SOunds like you have a busy weekend ahead of you.


Thanks Daze.

the seat turned out great ! well done

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

looking good! those covers can be "fun" if they aren't warm enough!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Got some new old wheels - tires are junk. Got a lot of scrubbing and polishing to do. Here's one that just went through a quick scrub/polish. These have always been my favorite wheels, even as a little kid... Found them in the 6 bolt pattern so I don't have to mess with the 5 lug swap. Feeling pretty good right now!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Nice! I would like to find a decent set for my 52.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

:lol:Nothing, my dad has the shop plugged up!That's a good thing though. if everything goes right he will swap the running gear out of his dodge/ peterbilt pick up project. then I can have it for my dodge cummins 72 chevy 4wd project!:lol:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I know you are flipping the truck but I would rethink the fuel filter. Engine compartment does look nice.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Wasn't going to post, but I think I turned out great and I've had beer. Fenders and grill are on for the last trial fit! Excuse the tape, grill has to come out one more time for edge sealer and the high side A/C line. This is the first time the finished fenders and grill have been on so you could look at the stance.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

That engine looks goooooood!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Very nice looking truck! Got to love those big blocks!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Picked up this 1950 yellow Chevy truck today man its bright i think im going to paint the running boards black to break up the color.Its got the 1968 Chevy 230 with HEI distributor, 350 turbo trans, Camaro rear end.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Congratulations! Just my opinion, but I like the yellow. I don't think it's too much. But hey, not my truck. Looks great!
