Just noticed that myself! I'm not sure why my phone did that...

Another set back on the new brake lines and rear disk swap. Tried to install the braided line on the rear axle only to find out the line runs directly into the leaf springs :mad:

Yup! I have a pair on order to be picked up on Monday. I was just hoping to done with the brake lines this weekend.

I understand, not having the right parts when you need them is a pain. I have a company here in Tampa that has any and all things for hose repair and replacement. AN fittings, adapters you name it. Amazon Hose, they are the best people to work with. There moto is we are not here to sell you hose, we are here to fix your problem.

Looks like your almost done with the brakes! Looking good.

Hello, got the new Firestone Destination A/T 31x1050's installed...just in time for the first snow. It looks a lil high in back but I think that increases the cool factor..
Also, I have been gathering up all the brackets and clamps to install a factory sway bar, that too should increase the grins per gallon quest.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Sway bar stuff ready to go, just waiting on a warm day, might be spring before I can install?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Time and money aside, looks like you have a great start..

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I swiped some of the rain soaked moss that wants to etch into my stock 46 year old paint. It is starting to get black mold spots growing into pin holes in the paint.

Ah Yeas, time and MONEY to finish my truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Media blasting was done on my cab, so I rolled the chassis out to deliver it to the body shop to mount the cab and get them started on metal repair... It's amazing what blasting uncovers...

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Tonight I put on a new hood to cowl seal from GMC Pauls. Very impressed with the quality as well as the way it fits.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Ordered a new inner cowl, a couple of cab supports and rocker panels from Cooper Restorations. Thanks, Jeff!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Installed the rear sway bar... Anyone know what shocks I should be using up front with the 5.5 inch drop?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Looks like a clean setup. What brand is that swaybar? Looks like it would need the bed removed to install it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

You would have to unbolt the bed and lift it on on blocks a few inches... Its a No Limit sway bar

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I will check it out. Might be a option for one of my trucks but I want to get one for my Suburban. I have been looking at a few different setups. When you get some road test time please let us know how it works for you.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I would love to report on it, but its gonna be a while...

I've done next to nothing over the last two months. Football season nearly over, it's getting warmer and I'm anxious. Can't wait to get to the front end and engine compartment. Will be a breeze after dismantling the cab.

Finished redoing motor and transmission mounts... Now that its all tightened up, got a pretty good shake going when sitting at red lights. Grrrr

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I know a lot of guys like factory seat covers. I do as well but I work for a leather company that sells only the highest quality leathers so that is what I went with. This past weekend my upholstery guy finished my seat so I added new rubber floor and new sill plates as well. I also added a new shift boot as mine was torn, Its surprising how much quieter it is in my truck!

I was gonna go out and see what I could get done... but then out of nowhere a 3 hour nap happened...

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

You too? Man, I thought it was just me.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Right after I read this, I decided to take a nap. Worked out nicely.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

What are your plans for heat/air ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Vintage Air. The fresh air vent orifices were totally rotted out, so I opted to cut them off outside and patch the holes to smooth the kick panels for a cleaner look and better watershed from the cowl.
