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

Started to make my cuts to the bed wood and strips for the access panels to the rear end housing and gas tank fillers. Next will be making the cuts for the widened wheel tubs.

Looks good! Mine is on the way from Summit as we speak. Excited to get it. Seem like a quality unit?

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

Slid into place like a factory fit. Looks like 73 up internals. Of all aftermarket parts I have this is by far the best quality part without a doubt.

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

Did you order a universal or the one that calls for your truck? Do you have part #s?

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

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

I opened the engine to see what was not letting it turn
found that 1,7, and number 2 cylinders had white powder in them causing them not let pistons to come up to top of stroke, removed intake, removed heads, , after cleaning them, the motor turns with no problems
now will go and get new gaskets and put her back together, and see if she will run

Test fitted the new bed wood before it it goes out to paint.

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

Just scored this set of original wheels with rusty trim rings and great condition center caps from a '63. The vehicle has been in one family.

Not bad for $50!

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

Mocked up the new bed wood before the truck left for paint.

Very clean, I like it!

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

This afternoon was as much like old times as it's been in quite some time.

Applied a second coat of resin to the fan shroud.

Fab'd some brackets to hold it to the core support and shot them with rusto.

Swapped out the gray seat belts for red, then installed the bench seat.

Put away tools, swept the garage and called it a day!

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

The fan shroud is an interesting DIY project. Is that your own idea?

Nice interior in your truck by the way. I like it, but I don't usually get along very well with white seats. :lol:

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

First saw it done on another board; it's on u~tewb as well and thanks!

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

I like your interior. my 59 elcamino is all white tuck n roll .

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

thanks jim

You just made me flash back to AG: "That's *****in' tuck and roll! You know, I really love the feel of tuck and roll upholstery."

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

took grill off and worked on getting the dents out, cleaned out all the birds nest behind it, will work on the rad support and clean up some rust, lots of it here, will patch some rust holes, and try to get it all back together.

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

Bought a new top-post battery for it, got it insured and registered, installed my new PA license plate, installed the 61 hood, park lamps, and harness from American Autowire, seam sealed the passenger side bed panel, fiberglassed the shroud one more time with mat...

Now I need to pull the shroud off the buck, and finish the body work on it before installing, then finish the engine wiring before Dwayne's takes it Monday for final touches, dual exhaust, and inspection.

WOW - FOUR YEARS LATER

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

Made a new CD compilation for a road trip :)

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

Took my truck in to have mufflers moved further back and exhaust pipes exit behind the tires. NOPE! $440 for that?! Good God!

No way this is typical cost, is it?
