Very cool, nice work.

Very nice work

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Nice! I also like what you did with the dash and glove box door.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Thanks some say thats out dated. Did you notice the heater control?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Not at first. Nice to carry the theme across the whole dash!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

yes a little bitt of Purple goes a long ways

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

What are your plans?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Hei mis firing like a wet or cracked cap.

Nah just a broken ground wire.
Sure glad I spent the money for 10 cent connection

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Keep a spare module in the glove box. When that ground wire is missing/detached, the module is "walking wounded" and may fail at any time, even after completing that circuit.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I'll bet.
I replaced the gm module with the msd digital style.
I left the gm one and wiring in the glove box though.

Update on the new console I'm building. It has been bolted down for the first time and the door is on and working, the lower has been test fitted, still need to cut in the cup holders and wire up the switches. have decided to add floor lights on the sides too. When completed it will be black with stained wood to match the box.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Wow, that looks fantastic! Nice work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

My idea here was to bring in the look of the box to the cab. switches are for the electric dumps and the passenger door release to let someone in. The deep part of the console is for tools, guns, booze

Looks great .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I sorted out the 68 Golden . PO really screwed it up Points we’re from god knows where and not for the truck . I replaced them roughed in the gap sounded much better . Timing was 4 degreees or so after TDC corrected that got the dwell meter out set the points to 30 degrees and the idle to 750 . Runs great smoothed right out . Now to get the gas tank sorted out can’t run it on a gallon can under the hood to far .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

A friend came to help and we got my Truxedo Lo Pro Tonneau cover on the truck. Does anyone know here you can buy plugs or anything that can go into the stake pockets and seal them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Today I bought a L83/6L80E combo with under 50K on them. As soon as they arrive I will be yanking out that 402 BB and the TH400 with the Doug Nash OD to make room for this combo. I have already installed a 30 Gallon Tanks Inc fuel tank between the bed rails in back and fabricated this fuel filler in the corner of the bed. So let the party begin!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Finished 2 1/2" lift kit last night.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I'm curious, what is the height to the top of the cab now? In other words, does in fit through a standard garage door now?

Nice looking!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I used the cheap led license plate lamps at Walmart for floor lights when I made the center console.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Swap meet score
Pair of stainless wind wings to replace my rusty ones.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Finally got everything together to make some brackets to properly mount the early 90’s seat in my 67. The PO had put the seat in and I do like it better than the original but they had just drilled holes in the floor to mount. I don’t think that is the safe or proper way to do it.
Bent the brackets to match the 67 floor profile and drilled holes for proper bolting. Then used grade 8 studs and threaded/welded them in the bracket. Once the seat was in I just had to put the 3 point seat belts in.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Yes, it fits in standard door no problem. The antenna hits, need to trim 6" off, have solid antenna and I don't want bend the cowl.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Installed the front clip on Saturday, grille is temporary. This should be rolling in 2-3 months, what a long haul.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Looking very good!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Picked up a 30 gallon oak keg for the 68 the keg was from a Winery in Oragon . Theme for the truck is going to be brewery related . As some know I’ve been brewing for over 20 years . I even had labels printed up at one time “Lackawack hill Brewing” so I’m going to use some live edge oak for the stake sides with the name on it .

Need to make some brackets for it and stain and or oil it

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

WOW! Nice job, hope to see it in person around Reno or Carson.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Finished up the “tank” for the 68 . Going to install it tomorrow the leather strap will hold it against the bulkhead of the bed ,just need to make up a bracket mount on the bulkhead . My friend always does a nice job and he won’t take money for small things like this . So I bought lunch for the shop. The fill is where the tap would go and the other is a vent , need to get some 1/4 copper tubing for that. And of course the fuel port is on the bottom it’s not at the lowest point of the keg and the bung is in the keg about about an inch so no crud should get sucked up . The base will be held down by the j bolts going to put a rubber pad under it to stop any squeaking. I stole one of my wife’s yoga mats she won’t notice I hope .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

That would be awesome. And I'd like to see that beautiful truck man. Funny it's the same paint code as my C20, since repainted, hmmm. This dog loves oil. Stuff don't work, time ventilated and leaks, don't care. I like the wheels though, and fun to drive:chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Roads are finally ready to drive on. Got the car and trucks out today and ran them!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Great looking Chevy team there Bubfn, very nice.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

The tank is in just need to hook up the gas line to the fuel pump . Had to drill a hole in the bed but it’s got a few natural holes in it anyway. The strap ended up just being a visual thing the j bolts hold it down solidly. And a friend that owns a brewery sold me three Jack Daniels barrels pretty cheap to. So the other one is going back . The JD ones are a little more aged looking and every time I walk by the truck it smells like bourbon. There’s a warning label on them about fire and the fumes . They drilled 2 1&1/4 holes an put in little button vents guess to air them out . I’m going to plug them with oak plugs .

A good day to install an instrument panel is a good day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Wow, Tony, that gauge cluster sure looks great.

I installed some spark plug wire holders today from an 80s van on the backs of the heads to go along with the 90s Vortec holders I have on the sides. The wires were just loose back there before, so this tidied things up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Thank you, same under your hood. TBONE1964 restored that cluster say years ago.

The hubcap / wheel saga has ended. No hubcaps, PO1's, SS dog dish and finally I'm nestled in with Rallys and bigger tires!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Very nice Ron, there's something about Rally wheels that look great on all trucks ......
