over kill!!! should be that trucks name, well if you got the lifting equipment use it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Sold mine.

Got tired of paying people to do crap work only to hire someone else that did crap work.

Too old and too easy I guess.

IF I do another one I will buy the tools and do it all myself.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Not all today but we got most of my dads 283 put together.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Jelous, my 283 had no side engine mounts... original and at one point painted orange. Wanted to save. Love a high rpm small block.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

lol yes it is overkill but my buddy was doing a roof two blocks away and who cN resist easy lifting and toys.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II
 

Built myself a rear bumper out of a front bumper that I shortened 18 1/4'' and welded strips on the back for strength and filled the bolt holes in with weld. Should make all the factory guys scratch their heads:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Hey PS congrats on the new digs. Great body of work going on here everyone - inspires me to get back to it! rg

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Saturday, too much work and not enough play, so my girl & I installed everything to be legal and went out cruzing and to dinner. Still got a lot of work to do, need to motivate to cut and buff paint.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

That's so cool. My nine year old girl is looking forward to that day, too.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

She's had her hand in everything over the last year of working on it. It's been a great experience for both of us. Quality father/daughter time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

One of the Very Best things the Father/Daughter team can do is hop in the C-10 and go pick 2 boxes of Avocados then mail them to me!

:cf:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Sorry for not posting a reply sooner, they are bolted thru bushings, the bolts are tight enough that it requires a slightly firm push to fold them out of the way. There is no unintended movement.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Yeah buddy, we have avos coming out the tail pipes over here. Don't even know what they cost to be honest, I thought they were free.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Installed a third brake light off of a late 90's Suburban and put new LED "For Off-road Use Only" bulbs in the taillights.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Here is a close up of the third brake light referenced in my previous post.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Looks very good almost factory. Did you need to reshape it ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

That's very cool, I like it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Drove the old truck to work yesterday and today. Planning on it tomorrow too! May become my dd again for a while.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Great question. I didn't reshape it, but it was actually warped a little bit with some slight concave curvature that along with the slight concave curvature of the opposing metal roofline creates about a 1/8th inch gap between the light housing and the roof at it's center point, so I may try to drill aanother hole in it and add a third screw in the center if it won't ruin the light in the process (and if it does, the third brake light only cost me $7 at the junkyard and there were many more where that came from.) If that doesn't work, I could probably add some construction adhesive and then caulk it and paint it to match the roof color to create a finished look.

I covered the driver's side door panel in vinyl and used the Duplicolor fabric paint product to match it to the color I had previously used on the bench seat that I had pulled out of a '67 Buick.
