Baby's got new shoes! More like work boots.

No, it has disc up front and drums in the rear. I bought the booster from Classic Parts. It bolted in pretty easily. The biggest challenge was connecting the linkage to the brake pedal under the dash.

Removed and polished headlight bezels. Happy to see after all these years they're show quality. I'm going to be lucky with this truck. Most of it is in excellent condition, though you'd never know it by the picture below.

Removed NOS lower moldings from their packages. Cleaned the glue off and repacked. Couldn't be happier.

I need to figure out the tires. The current are old and I don't like the way they sit in the well anyway. They're 255/70/15.

Cool pictures!

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

Excellent night photos! I really like the first one. You should post it to the artistically shots thread

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

MAC 71, love that dark olive color. And I like that the top of the cab is green too. Good looking truck

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

Kind of like creeping out of the dark the 1st pic, kind of cool, I agree with the artistic thread too.

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

I like 'em both, too.

Thought I'd take the fireflies out of the one.
I think maybe I like it better before...Not sure.

Started converting and painting my junkyard motorhome tilt steering column and got around to the faux patina experiment on my cowl. I am pretty excited to get a tilt column, especially for only 60 bucks. I also installed my deluxe side marker lights today. I am trading the old ones for a 6 pack oh beer so I was a little motivated to get that done today.

I retrofitted my stock distributer with a Pertronix distributer. From what I can tell so far it's money well spent!

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

Thank you everybody, those night shots were just experimenting with my camera, campfire light sure lit up everything in a 30 second exposure at F3.5. I have not seen the artistic shots thread yet, may post it in there :)

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

The fireflies were popping out of the fire, burning cedar. With an without look good, but the fireflies over a 30sec exposure looks cool i think. Either way sir :)

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

Well wasn't today, but on Sunday I got the floorpan stripped and sanded. then gave it a couple coats of rustoleum rusty metal primer. Still in damage control mode to just try and stop the deterioration. Also got the new gas tank put in, thanks Amazon! Goals for this week is to get the seat back in, change the oil/filter, prime the fuel system and get it started up and back on the road.

Where about in Utah are you? I'm in South Jordan and itching to pull my 72 out of storage this weekend :)

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

I'm pulling it out this weekend!!!

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

Well tonight I got all of the seat bolts cleaned up. Also went ahead and tested them all to make sure they were going to go back in clean. If the rain holds off I'll get the seat back in tomorrow. Also got the oil changed and new oil filter. Now to get gas back in it and get it started.

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

Installed 49 Pontiac tail lights frenched into the tail panel.

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

RE : Wax/Polymer

Don ;

I've been using Granitize (? SP ?) " Polymer Wetcoat " for close to 30 years now ~ it's amazing stuff , really makes the faded , scratched & dinged up original paint jobs on my vehicles look great .

I'm sure that stuff you linked to will work as well .

Pretty easy to apply too , just make sure the rig is HOSPITAL CLEAN and get a package or three of thin natural sponges from the .99 CENTS Store , I use each sponge for a panel or two then toss 'em out as soon as i see crud embedded after i wash them with hot water...

I'm going batsh*t without my truck and keep stopping to look at unrestored and beater work trucks I spot in my daily travails , er travels .
