Had to replace a leaking power steering pump.

workin on getting the radiator spaced back for A/C. I bought the biggest condenser I could find for the front, and it's thicker than I thought. Gotta clearance problem with the steering box if I move the radiator too far back as well.

I would hope so. Especially since they were intentionally made to look like yours using dimensions you gave me. You had better like them! :)

Thanks again!

I think you will be happy with the small block. Easier to get parts and work on.:metal:

Love the look of this, although I'll admit to looking at for pictures of that part of the front range. I grew up in Littleton and lived in CR for a few years before being exiled to San Diego a decade ago. Miss it greatly. Keep the pictures coming!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

new bed wood came today.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Just dropped it in to see what she looks like.

Now who can tell me the best way to seal this, its red oak and will see a lot of miles when done.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

She does sound great. You did an awesome job on that motor. I love that tachometer...haha. Currently looking for something for mine.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

The usual oak bed wood finish is a polyurethane on all SIX sides. Buy the most UV resistant marine type you can find, then still keep it out of the sun. I planned to go to a marine supply place. BUT I've also read online that for decks THE best stuff is called Pentofin. Not positive on that spelling. It's an oil finish of some type. I may consider that in leiu of a hard gloss finish.

PS: Your boards are not each one continuous piece of wood? They've multi piece? Who did you buy that through?

there multi pcs milled and glued together, something different.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Thanks for the complement. That's a Moon Eyes tach and got it from a local SoCal Speed Shop. I think you can buy them direct from the company, they are around $70 or so, which I don't think is too much.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I made some parts for a sling to pick up my cab. It is too late in the week to start the mock up(I can't get in the shop on some weekends) so I am getting ready to start next Monday If I figure it right it will be easy to repeat the position of the sling saving time next time I pull the cab and remount the cab. only twice I hope.:lol:

I'm thinking the "Marine Oil Finish" is the one for our truck beds. I like the description of being able to wet sand it to repair it.
