I got my windshield wipers all mounted back up with the new electric motor from brothers. Also got the tailgate mounted with the Mar-k trunions, hidden hinges and almost have the latches in.

bent lower door hinge (helped a little, may need more) and replaced the door regulator rollers. Hope my door ws arrives today so I can get the doors done this weekend, if not, will finish up the welding on the gas door.

I did a little rust repair on the passenger side rocker panel. I was able to do a little recycling in that the patch came from the drivers side rocker panel. The driver side had both ends pretty much gone, but the lower middle was in good shape.

Nice repair! How do you like those panel clamps? I find the gap a bit too big.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

They work well. What i do is fit the panel tight and mark where the clamps go, then i open that spot up a little more. If the seam is ever too tight i run my body saw blade between tacks to get a little gap.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Another note about the clamps. Keep an eye on the the alignment. the clamps are not always made square.

As the clamp on the right.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Thanks, Thats what I always shoot for, but doesnt always come out that way. I just keep trying.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Some came from Eastwood some from Harbor Frieght. Quality is about the same, big difference is the price.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Looking good, is that still your mock up cab?

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Im gonna try to salvage it, with the body being so low, I gotta cut the floor for a trans tunnel, and with the floor being so rusted Im gonna just cut the floor out from the tow boards back to the rear of the cab and do a custom floor. Im pretty confident I can fix the cab, sure beats spending 400 on a better one when I can fix this one with 150. Im about to move it to my shop so I can work on it more.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Good looking couple! They are lucky to have your whole hearted approval. You should be proud for sure!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

That sounds like a winner!:metal:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Spent the day yesterday replacing struts and strut mounts on the little lady's car, that freed me up to spend the rest of the weekend on my truck. RULE #1 If she ain't happy, you ain't happy.

Finished engine and tranny mounts today. The engine is now completely installed, hopefully for the last time! Tomorrow I plan to fill the hole in my floor that was cut out to compensate for the bell housing's new location.

On this memorial day we remember our brothers and sisters that gave there lives past and present .................Thank you !- you are not forgotten !!!!!!!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I installed a new set of front park lamp assemblies, and all new firewall grommets last night. Tonight I'll be finishing up some touch up painting in the cab so the new headliner can be installed. I took 2 weeks off from working on the truck to get some things done around the yard and do some repairs to my faithful daily driver so now it's time to giver on the truck again
