Spent the last few days making and welding up a notch cover, welded nuts in bed so I could still remove the cover for access, and started making bolt in inner fenders. Should have them done before I leave friday morning for a car show weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Went to the local A&W cruise night last night. Had the opportunity to looked up close at some bagged trucks and cars. 2 days before that I installed a PERFECTLY STRAIGHT tailgate I got off craigslist for $50!! SCORE!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finally found a good used gas tank at the junkyard. I took it out of a 68 C/30. Then cleaned up and repaired the brackets on the seat from my 70 GMC parts burb and put it all in the truck. Here's before and after pics.

Nice job Rob!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Swapped in my new Moser 5x5 conversion axles, got my Coys mounted, finished the welding on my exhuast.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Rebuilt the carb on my wifes 66 mustang. Bought a starter heat shield from summit for my 67 , installed it. What a PITA! Took 3 hours. Took it out, attached the shield, put it in, won't bolt up, took it out massaged the shield, put it back. Still won't bolt up, took it out, cut both lower corners off, compressor starts to smoke and dies, finish with a jig saw. Put it back in. Fire it up.

Got my 3 groove pulley for my power steering conversion today. Can't sandblast it now cause my compressor is toast. But it was a good day. Both cars are still drivable so it was a successful day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Moved some things around in the shop and changed the wheels n tires on mine. I found those ram horns I've been lookin for. I need some new exhaust pipes to go with them. ;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I GOT A NEW ONE!! Havin the short box is great but i still miss my longbox. I spend more time on craigslist than anyone ever should but this time it really paid off. Last october I decided I wanted a wall tent. After some searching I tracked one down in denver and the guy wanted $100 or something. When I called him and told him I was in town he said he wasnt at home and wasnt worried about it and told me I could just HAVE the tent cause it needed some work. Fast forward to last week. This tent is just too damn big for me to do anything with by myself (16x33 canvas army tent). So I put it up on craigslist for sale or trade for old chevy parts. Takes no time at all and I get a guy from Wyoming calling me saying hes got a gauge cluster with factory tach and factory tilt column. I agree to a trade obviously! After a brief pause he says "you know what you can have the whole damn truck if you want it. I have the title and it runs." One week later, last night, I brought the truck home! Heres a pic of the tent and the truck!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

not bad, a free truck for a free tent. the only thing spent was gas. right on man:metal:. i met up with the western washington guys down in monroe at the swap meet yesterday and had a good time. LIVRAT gave me a gmc core support that i was supposed to trade a chevy for, but he just let me have it. THANKS LIVRAT! i also sold the bench out of my 72 for way less than i originally wanted for it, but i decided that i didn't wanna pack the thing back home. i also sold the chevy core support, along with a box full of tpi parts that i won't need. i also got a procomp cdi box for my ezefi conversion and a driver's rocker. so not too bad

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

i mounted my new fuel-pump and in-line filter to my Boyd's fuel cell...........keep-on truckin:chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

F I N A L L Y started to stain the wood for my bed today. The first coat went on pretty easily. ( of course, I've spent the last two weeks getting the edges filed and sanded ) I'll work on the second coat this week after the first one dries.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Last week added a new chrome alternator and polished radiator cover to clean up engine compartment.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

looked at my truck and looked at our finances........ ugh!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

It DOES get better.
From 2005-2010 I had ZILCH to spend on my Truck.
Had to sell a lot of personal crap to do the small things.
Since my Wife and I have moved down South, (the Money is better).
In the last 5 Months, I've spent $5K on my Truck.
Guess I'm making up for lost time.;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

swapped carriers from two rear ends to end up with a posi in mine. also cleaned up the rear end and painted it. also have replaced the brake pads.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Well I went by and saw the "Mock-up" of my Headers. I'll take pictures tomorrow and post them. They're being sent out to be Jet Coated,
while the rest of the Exhaust is getting tucked up into the Frame.:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got me a goodie today for my 67 chevy c10 at the Pick a part here in Oc. GOt a auto column off a 69 3/4 and installed that today in my truck. Still need a few parts for it. Spent $50 on it :) :) :) :) also bought new universal joints for the 2 piece driveshaft will be installed tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

finally got the wiper arms off so i could get the cowl panel off. and i found out why i have moisture intrusion into my cab. its from all the crap that proping the cowl window defroster vent open. i'll get photos of it later. but the good thing is it looks like there isn't any rot, or major rot in my cowl area

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I took seat in to get re-upholstered!! Hope to have pics on Friday or Saturday. After a lot of thought, I went with "custom" over stock, but love the insert fabric my wife picked out. It brings everything together.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

That is great, when you get "Positive Input" from your Wife!
My Wife is my Color Coordinator/Designer for MY Truck.:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

This.

Replaced the passenger side fender with a repop from LMC...and never again will i buy a repop...Alignment sucks!

and took my bed wood to get planed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Took the day off "sick" today and did the power steering conversion on my 67. The dimple and notching the radiator support bracket went good. It was the 5 trips to autozone and Checker to get new belts that ate up the whole day. Just finished up. Working ok but loud and I may have a leak but I am done for today. Time for that beer and a recap of the ballgame.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

finished removing the front clip from my 72. i ended up having to grind the nuts off the core support bolts since the threads on the bolts were destroyed by rust. and i vacuumed out my cowl as good as i could and got quite the mouse nest out of the passenger side of the cowl. but now i really need to replace my drivers rocker since the front clip was holding the door area together

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

removed the drivers rocker since the only welds holding it in were what i put in it. 3 tack welds and a couple cuts later i now have room for the new rocker. i just gotta put it in now

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Bled the new power steering unit. Working flawlessly. I am so stoked that it actually works as good as it does. What a difference it makes in the drive.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I cut some holes in my trailing arm cross member for my exhaust and welded in some 4" pipe to sturdy it up and keep it clean.
