Waiting on some patch panels to come in, so I decided to play with the color of my wheels.

Let me be the first to say Welcome and colour absolutely approved.

I like it a whole lot in that combo.

Not that bad, just using a rebuild gasket kit.

Sandblasted to bare metal, primed with rust stop primer and then rust stop gloss black. Can't wait to get the rest finished up.

Received my new Heater Core, none of the regular truck shops had them in stock. I found out that Rock Auto stocked them and I was able to get one for $60.79 with priority mail shipping the total was only $67.04, which is at least $40.00 cheaper than the various truck supply houses.

I have the large Deluxe heater core with the defrost system in my '60 GMC. The Rock Auto part number is 9010099. A really neat thing that Rock Auto does is show the measurements so you know you are ordered the correct one.

Spent some time cleaning of my junkyard find. The towel was white when I started. Engine de-greaser and a nylon brush seemed to do a fine job of getting that years of hand germs off of it.:metal:

Pulled my valve cover and found a loose rocker (thankfully). Fixed that, and the engine is quiet like it should be. Set timing and idle. Put in fresh Rotella with a dose of ZDDP additive, and an oversized oil filter. Greased the front end. Enjoyed my now nice-driving truck that is finally running well, and has a lot more power than when I started.

Welded the angle strips onto the bed sides. Lots of effort to be sure they are in the right place.
