After taking my bed bolts out from the Vinegar from soaking some 12 hours.. I then washed them off and dried them and put a coat of primer on them. I only took the galvanizing off the heads so I can paint them the same color as the truck bed .
I put my rear bumper on and wrapped it in a blanket until I get the bed on which may be a few weeks ..

Sealed up the axle and painted it. Welded on one last bracket for the adjustable panhard bar. Made tool to spread the ubolts slightly for ease of install. Shop bent them slightly narrow. Busy day tomorrow, but maybe by Friday I can finally get the rear end in the '71.

Got the fuel lines ran...got my order in from McMaster Carr...they rock. Their tubing clips are great and cheap. $6.50 for 50 double 3/8" clamps. I was dumb and ordered 1/4" stainless bolts for them when the center hold is 3/16, so I had to drill out the holes.

Brake lines tomorrow.

...finished getting my motor ready to pull, pulled front coil springs and most of steering.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

if you take off the cowl panel and look down in the cowling air vent area directly over where the heater core is you'll find it (I hope that makes sense)


I also have these spots on both sides in the channel under the hood-to-cowl seal, and directly beside the other one

Changed the oil, fuel fliter and PCV valve. Finally made a spacer to raise the tranmission up and get the drivers side header pipe off of the transmission crossmember. A few more things to check tomorrow, preparing for about a 250 mile trip Sunday to Billet Proof Show in Giddings, Tx.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Painted my steering column my interior is now done other then finishing the wiring in the dash!


So much closer to my new motor and tranny !

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Thanks for understanding! :lol: I was thinking people would be saying to themselves: What, wax a roof? what so tough about that!

yea, doing a burb with rubbing compound is like doing 3 or 4 pick ups! Plus, with my burb I need to use a ladder to do everything from the hood up. I know :waah: but after wards - so nice! :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I drove 6 hours round trip to pick up a set of doors with windows that are a hell of a lot better than the ones on my truck now for 100 bucks plus 60 in gas.
Not too bad a deal, would have been better if I had ac in the truck or it hadnt hit 100 degrees today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Worked on getting wood boards for the bed cut to size and holes drilled in all the right places. The off-center washers were a bit challenging.
