I'm not as young as I use to be, took me 3-1/2 hours to change out a leaking power steering pump. Glad that's over with.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

hey i have got some seats like those for my truck but mine came out of a newer model chevy truck and are cloth but they are better than what is in there right now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That's great Vern, I'm stoked for ya.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That looks good. I agree that a couple inches in the front would be even better.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Been busy, over the past 4-5 days. Driving down the street the oil psi gauge sprung a leak and shot hot oil all over my legs and hands. The PO had over torqued the fitting and ruined it so I had to replace the gauge. I installed this triple setup instead. Still fresh back from the powdercoater I finished up installing the grill, park lights, rear, and backup light bezels. Yes…………. those are step side back up lights. Still had troubles with the front turn signals so I scored a headlight switch and a pair of fleetside backup light sockets and glass lenses from the junk yard. Got all the electrical issues fixed and in working order. Also added a jumper wire so my front parklights are now running lights as well as turn signals. SWEET!

I taped up, prepped and spray painted the outside frame around the vent window glass on the driver side... and painted the exterior side of the vent window assembly as well.

Tomorrow, the fun part... putting it back together.

aggh.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I put one tranny cooler line in becuase I forgot my double flaring tool. I also started it up again. I also set one of the exaust pipes I had under it and it is way off seeing it came out of my short bed. I will just build new ones. I also put the hood back on with the help of my Irish buddy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Did some cleaning in the engine Bay.
Little painting too.

Fabricated a panel to fit between the splash pans for mounting backup lights next to the license plate. Tuesday I’ll take it to the local sheet metal shop and have them fold the edges in a brake.

I think it might actually look better than having the tank show from the rear as seen here:

Here’s the panel with and without the lamps:

And here is where the lights will reside once the panel is completed:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Man, I like that idea MB. Thanks for sharing. I have been trying to think of a good way to mount backups without cutting holes in the bed sides.

Where did you purchase your repair panels from? How well are they fitting?
Thanks

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I got all my panels from Classic industries in Kansas and the fit was awesome I did the pillars and the full Rockers so far give them a call they are great to deal with Jeff in Indy

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

lucky you. I got my corners and rockers from the auto fair at Charlotte about 4 yrs ago, and just got around to replacing them this week. the corners fit ox with some massaging(sp?) the drivers rocker fit after some modifications, and the passenger--well lets just say after some knuckle bleeding and some sailor words its on the truck now. I would not reccomend these--but i don't remember the company name i bought them from.

I do need to get one for the bottom of the door, and mabye the lower door skin anyone tried LMC (i think that's it) patch pannels, if so how do they fit.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

JGH, Been busy getting the truck in running condition. I will post air cleaner thread soon.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Very impressive - as expected! Really like the white border and the bumper guards, makes it look authentic.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I`m going to have to cut the exhaust as they run over the axle inbetwen the panhard bar bracket and frame, I `m like a quarter of an inch from the exhaust now that is lower, any body trim rubber their stops in the rear, that might have to be done as well.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I yanked out the Moon tach (first picture) and put in 'ol faithful: Sun Super II (the rest of the pics). Not sure why I love these old tachs so much, but probably because they are what I had in my cars and trucks when a "bit" younger. Found this Sun Super at the Pomona Swap Meet (an AWEsome swap meet) several years ago - finally found a home for it. The Moon Unit (isn't that one of the Zappa's?) was nice but it wasn't my favorite, it came with the truck when I bought it - it IS nice, but it's one of those new tachs made to look old - like a mid-sixties chevy, etc. Hmmm - wait, that's what I have -but I still like the Sun Super II, the old ones that came out before the "Sunpro days". That's kinda like when AMF bought out Harley Davidson back in the 70's.... Maybe Sun Super Tach will come back too(?) I added quick disconnects in the wiring too so I can pull it if needed to work on other stuff. Maybe I'll set the redline at 7K just to make myself feel good.

Alright, not a BIG accomplishment, but makin it my own. This was much, much cheaper than the stock tach conversion from LMC(!) Maybe someday...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Jocko all your little zingers (like "moon unit") make for interesting reading. I get it, and can't help but wonder how many other members don't.

Depending on the "theme" you're after with your truck, the Super Tach II is spot on. Back in "the day" the first thing a guy did was buy a tach. And how many of you knew somebody that would dissasemble their dash and spend the extra money to put in a factory tach.... anybody.... know anybody that did that? I didn't back then. But nowadays it seems to be the norm. Too each their own.

Kind of like stock wheels. The second thing we did was put on a set of mags...

Makes you wonder what happened to all those OEM factory parts that were hardly worth scrap iron prices back in the day.

I do like stockers, don't get me wrong. But expressing your talents, your preferences and even your ecentric nature by changing things up gives us all more variety.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I dug my 64's bedside panels out of storage yesterday. Today i stripped the old paint, primer, and bondo off of the right side panel. It looks like i have a little more metal work to do than i thought.
