Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Didn't get anything done on my truck but, my all night project of replacing all my front brake calipers, pads, rotors, and flushing the old brake fluid out. The reason I did all this they updated the calipers finally so they won't warp the rotors anymore.

Yesterday i get 1 of my 4 tires for my jeep that I have to put on before I leave. The other three some how were a day behind the first. So I go down to the UPS Hub here and I'm hoping that they will let me get my other three tires instead of waiting all day for them to deliver them. To my surprise when I walk to a guy in an opening of a back in dock for the trailer when I asked him he told me to come on in the side door and he try to track them down and give them to me. I walk in and there they are sitting on the platform getting ready to be put in the delivery truck. He scans them and I was good to go. All this so I can go to Wisconsin to see family for a week today. Now I'm off to mount and balance my tires before packing up my jeep and heading out of town.
I do like these new tires though. Fierce Attitude M/T

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Replaced my headlight knob, replaced my cargo light assy. replaced brake,gas and emergency brake pedal's.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Ground and drilled the rivets that held the original brake drums on the front of my 67. Went to Autozone and picked up some 67 brake shoes. Went to the junk yard and picked up front sway bar for $30, then went home to start on the brakes. Come to find out the 67 is an early model and GM was still using up the 66 parts. My front pads have to be 66 because the 67 pads are way too big. Took the 67 pads back with my old pads and sure enough... they were 66 pads. Luckily the drums are the same model cause I bought two of those too. Done for the day. I will finish up the front brake install tomorrow and begin reconditioning the front sway bar.

Watched/helped hubscrub cut patches for his truckbed from my junk bed I had. Took some drums/wheels off a 5 lug rearend, debating to scrap it or not.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I installed new mirrors and arms, inside door handles and escutcheons, and brake pedal pad. I aligned the wiper arms and replaced a window regulator roller so the passenger window rolls up and down now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Took out my drive shaft since it came apart this week. Luckly I just started out from a stoplight and when I heard a loud pop I pulled over, so no damage to the truck. Just a broke yoke.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I decided to upgrade the look and add some gauges to my dash. I did the white gauge thing, It came out better than I thought, I just need to find one more gauge for the left side of the panel, not sure what I would put there yet.

how did you get the white face for guages?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I replaced my power booster today. I thought that I was stopping well enough before now. So a new one of those and master cylinder I need to get use to the 'new' brakes in the ol' girl. :cool:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Did my front brakes. I hate doing drum brakes. Have to do the rear ones in a little bit too.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I hear ya. Finished my fronts this morning too. PITA!!! Rears will be next month when the funds are a little better.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Tried to figure out my engine brackets so I can get my ps pump mounted to my engine and whether I need to move my alt to the passenger side

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I ordered them from this company-> whitegauges.net , they mailed them right to my door, and I live in Canada. They are an overlay decal real easy to do.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

started my installation of the 01 sierra gauges into the 67.also stripped most of the interior of the sierra and started sorting miles of wires into what i need and what i dont.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

(joey), do you have any idea what you are going to hide that in the dash with? and good luck with the wires. looks like you'll need it!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

fixed my left turn signal indicator, OK I didn't fix it, but it hasn't worked in 5 years and today decides to start..
I did run a quarter tank of gas through it :D

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

You must be glad you won't be using all those wires! That would suck! Are you going to use steel to shape the area around the gauges or part of the Sierra dash?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

stripped the upper end of my steering column for paint and a new turnsignal switch. Man these trucks are soo simple compared to the new crap.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Changed the motor mounts in my 70. What a gigantic PITA!
Hope to get the headers and exhaust system in tomorrow and get it to the shop so they can work on my tranny and brakes. Hope to have it ready for the Legends Get-Together next Sunday.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I finished my front suspension on Saturday and put my motor and trans in on Sunday.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

pulled then last part of the rad out and flushed it hope to get the feul lines cleaned up if weather permits

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

not a problem.after spending a great amount of time laying on my back staring up under the 67 dash theres all kinds of hiding room.just have to build a bunch of brackets and get some good wire clamps.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Added a new Antenna and ran wire for speakers today. Nothing too crazy but a major pain to take out the glovebox liner without ruining it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

its not so bad.wiring doesnt scare me haha.i am going to use steel and some fiberglass mat around the sierra dash pieces.i started to make a higher rise cap tonight to clear the harness plug that comes out of the top of the gauge.for below the gauges i have to mock up my newer steering column and shape around it.hers a couple pics from tonight.i will have more as i go in my build thread:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Used my 67 to jump start my 4 wheelers today. Then me and the boys tore up the back yard!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

sanded and painted steering column parts

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I installed my tach that I've had sitting on the shelf for three months! :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

sounds like fun 67slider!


I attempted to install my junkyard hitch, realized im going to have to drill some holes, I'll mess with it this weekend. ;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Son and I gave up on trying to use the angle grinder with wire brush to get rust off...too many places are hard to get to. So, we decided to get it sandblasted. Then, we started pulling the front end off, so we can get as much of it blasted as possible. Still gotta pull the lower control arms/shafts, then the crossmember. Next week, we're gonna finish that part, then pull the rear end/trailing arm ass'y.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

did a rear brake overhaul this weekend and finally ended the sqeaking! coming up this week is a new radiator, installing an overflow tank, transmission fluid/filter change and a distributor overhaul. i love having a box of parts just waiting to be put on. :cool:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Drove it to work and back, then changed the oil and a header gasket. First time in awhile I could even get a vehicle in my shop!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Here is the factory set up
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...s/P1000146.jpg

Cut the holes in the lower four and center upper to fit the Autometer 2 1/16th" gauges
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...s/P1000169.jpg

Added a little paint
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...s/P1000174.jpg

The speedo and tach backing clamps ,where a tad to short for the sheet metal backing panel so,, I added a little RTV and waa la
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...s/P1000175.jpg

The autometer 2 1/16th" gauges fit the lower four spots in the factory panel like they are born there

http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...s/P1000178.jpg
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v.../P10001772.jpg

The factory panel had the highbeam light in a gauge so, had to add one,
sadly the hole is a little off center..
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...s/P1000181.jpg
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v.../P10001802.jpg

The speedo and tach fit the factory holes "almost" the factory rolled the metal edges, so to close up the hole a little, I unrolled the flange a little , and Waaa la..
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...P1000184-1.jpg
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...s/P1000183.jpg

The highbeam and turn signal lights are l.e.d.
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v.../P10001882.jpg
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v.../P10001852.jpg

and the finished panel , only thing missing is the upper three gauges glass,
that is being buffed, then I'll install and have a better pic of the finished product..
