Cruised it to work with my buddy and his 82. Another friend drove his 72.

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

Was crusin down the freeway when I heard something and then ran over something. After coming out of the store I decided to look at the truck to try and figure out what I ran over and if there was any damage. Well I found this. Seems like I ran over it also. I think something flew up from the car in front of me. At least I have an extra. I am just happy it didn't hit my hood or grill.

Finished passenger door for all new weatherstrip, vent window included. Drivers door is 3/4 finished. This was one of those jobs that took a boatload of time but if I was to do it again, I could literally do it in 1/4 of the time. One of them jobs u think back on and can't imagine you had so many hours in it. Oh well.

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

Painter sent me a photo of my newly installed trim around the windows. Also first sighting of bed on the truck.

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

Put my 64 GMC on a lift today and greased the front end, and also repaired an almost melted electric fuel pump wire....I don't think wires like sitting on exhaust pipes....few zip ties and That problem was solved. EDIT. Yes I replaced the wire.

Driver's side disc brake conversion on 2.5" drop spindles, new shock and cleaned/painted controls arms. Wife made me stop last night at 1145pm when she could hear me banging the ball joints loose on the passenger side spindles from the house, whoops!

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

I pounded the hell out of my left and right spindles until I found a method on this very site: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...32#post7478532 Before this, I think I did more damage using the hammer. :waah:

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

Did a little wiring clean up & found out the new ignition key from my aaw kit will lock my drivers door but not the passenger door which is great because the truck didn't come with a key lol

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

Installed the new 572 in me an dad's 77.

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

We got the bed on. Took us about 4 hours to tweak the bed and cab bolts so the lines were just right. Will rethink the next two tone.....

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

Pulled the left rear leaking wheel cylinder. Decided to do the rear pair... happy I checked, the right side was just as bad, just not leaking out the bottom of the drum yet. I'll order new ones tomorrow! It will be nice to have working brakes again. I should fix my parking brake...

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

Made my truck more useless, hahaha. -Jimmy-:ito:

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

Got to doing some minor bodywork, repaired small rust spots on passenger's door. Installed two Flowmaster Delta 44's (1960, rebuilt 350 and turbo 400....both have 430 miles on them). Getting ready to paint her in a week or two. Ordered my wide whitewalls, they should be installed this Wednesday.

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

Got a little closer to wrapping up front suspension and disc swap CPP drop spindles and 3" drop springs Summit 6lug rotors

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

Had to replace my radiator. A friend of mine had one laying around. Only differences are;
Drain is on opposite side and the overflow nipple points towards right side, so will have to have it turned around for overflow bottle. Has anyone used a radiator from Classic Industries? If so does if look original and how is the fit?

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

Put wide whitewalls on her today. Getting ready to paint her. Just picked her up a few days ago. Also waiting on my oak wood bed kit to show up. Got several other things to do to her.

-Standard rebuilt 72' 250..0 miles!
-Muncie M20 wide? 4 speed w/ mounts for floor shifter?
-Saginaw 3 speed w/floor shifter

Engine and both trans' are clean and rebuilt/resealed

Currently SM318 in the truck
Thinking about the 4 spd (as it also has syncro 1st?)
But need shorter drive shaft(does it has to be made or is there a direct swap out?)

Hopefully engine will go in and be broken in this coming Wed!
So much rain on my days off lately :(

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

Finally hooked up my fuel fill. Now we will see if it works good enough to really use. I tacked it in for now.

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

Got my Grant adapter and Moon wheel installed then found the passenger side vent shade that was buried and got it installed too

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

I absolutely love that.

It's exactly what I have planned for mine, not in the corner at the moment.

Do you have any pics of the process and underside please?

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

I dumped 4 quarts of oil into the engine before I realized the drain plug was not in. I'm an idiot.

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

It is just molded rubber gas hose. I got it at http://www.fillernecksupply.com/ther...FUiPfgod5H4IuQ It works ok. The tank won't fill all the way up but pretty close.

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

been there, done that...got the ID-10-T t-shirt:dohh::hh::fry::banghead:

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

No. You were just flushing out the old oil. Good job.

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

Actually, it did need to be flushed. The needle valve in the carb got stuck open and dumped gas in the block.

:)

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

It has been a long day. Got the motor and trans installed and bolted down then moved on to the cab. Beginning to look like a truck again.

Cool truck, I've never seen a bell housing with the clutch fork on the passenger side though, I'm confused:hh:
