We drilled for moldings today. It went well. The mock-up is about there, a few simple things to do yet. I'm looking forward to tearing it down for paint. We'll have the body rebuilt December or sooner. It's almost close;)

nice work..... im assuming your bending you own lines

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I brought the 68 home today from my buddies shop on the ramp truck. I got the front end almost all back together.:chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Thanks! Yes, bending my own. It’s the NiCopp line and bends/flares amazingly easy. Using it makes me wonder why people use SS? I wrapped my lines in SS spring rock guard from inline tube and it gives the NiCopp a decent amount of rigidity. My previous experience bending SS was not so pleasant.

Nice! Sounds good.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Haha! We are all in the same boat, plugging away. On occasion we see a few guys who are able to move along at a more rapid pace. I have found slowly moving along allows for better planning. You will get there, we all will. Slowly.

Thanks.

I had a shop in town do it. They probably got it from a local supply shop called Ranshu Parts Company. Alma Products 51-86262a is the brand, they have new and they reman them too.

What i did was go to my storage garage and do my mid Winter stare my truck and make sure she looks as good as when I parked her inside in October. Then came home and ordered my new steering wheel to replace the LeCarra one that is on the truck which I had on my pink /white truck as well. Got that LeCarra in 2006 so time for a change. I had my mind made up to get this one and the when the new original style 15 inch one came out I thought I might like that better but decided to stick with original plan.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

IMHO you made the right decision

Did a lot of little things, but the biggest one was I installed an HEI distributor.

Working on reupholstering the bench and putting in new carpet. Photos won’t load, getting a security token issue.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Finally got it to work, found the build sheet under the carpet. And a portion of one behind the seat.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I'd like to look at your project sometime.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Same with yours! It’s always nice to get some motivation in person. Right now I am close to a roller. I have been keeping up with your latest build. It’s coming along plenty fast. Once I get a little further along and get my truck all in one place I will let you know.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Mine was under the carpet also and a Fremont truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Tachometer Cluster Restoration completed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Nice! I want to do this to my IP one of these days.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Rear brakes done including new parking brake cables so no more wheel chocking. Parking brake works even if the rest do not yet.

All I have left on the rear is new brake lines and bump stops.

Anyone know where you can get bump stops for lowered trucks? I saw them online once and now I can’t seem to find or remember where.
