Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Did you buy aftermarket fans, or something from a wrecking yard? And how well did they fit and mount?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I took off the headers I bought from summit, I was sick of the tic tic tic besides the fact they hang down so far you couldn't lower the truck with out dragging them. The new one's are cast iron that I got from Tom Langdon's site they will solve all the problem's that the others caused.:sumo:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I really like the looks of the new ones.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Cast exhaust headers look great on a six. Tube headers just seem to ad confusion to anotherwise clean engine design. I saw numerous cars last week at a show that were running Fenton's. Combined with an aftermarket cast intake everything just looks "right".

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Cleaned entire truck in and out top to bottom and tucked it in the garage, we have bad storms coming.

nice stance, and I love the knockoff 'vette rallys - I had those on my Elco and would have them on the truck, but found a cheap set of Cragars I couldn't resist

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Rebuilt the Rochester 2bbl, replaced manifold gaskets. Had to drill out two carb studs. Results? Runs good.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thank You did you find some inner fenders yet, I have seen a few on ebay

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks steverino66 It's hard to go wrong with vette rallys! I've had them on almost all my classic chevy's. I have 4 different center combo's, so if I get tired of the spinners I can change the whole look with different center caps.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I decided to eliminate most of the inner fenders instead. It provides open access to everything and makes working on the truck dirt simple. I’m in the process of detailing what’s left now.

Hey markeb01, What if you get caught in the rain? There goes your detail job.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Really nice truck !!!!!!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I finally got the bed back where it belongs, not all the strips are bolted down yet - I decided to hide the main cross sill bolts to frame because I couldn't bear to cut holes in the wood I spent so much time finishing…
this makes the entire back half of the truck done except for little details, the cab is next!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Well the detail job I’m working on now consists of getting rid of the yellow paint, errant holes, and scratched or missing paint. I’ll never win an award for keeping things spotless, it’s more work than my ambitions.

Surprisingly driving it in the rain or snow doesn’t really make all that big a mess. It just splatters the firewall in alignment with the tires and the rest hits what’s left of the inner fender above the tire. A trip to the coin-op car wash cleans it right up. Besides the truck and I are both retired now so it’s primarily used just for fun.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That woodwork is beautiful.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Retired? Well........ you have all the time in the world to detail. I'm jealous :whine:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

thanks, Mark - always nice to get compliments from the guy with one of the coolest trucks here…

Went with Old Air Products for the AC, really like the electric switch, will fit nice in the dash, also no cables just plug and play, I need to make a decision on the paint, time to mount the cab

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Next week we may come close to finishing this puppy up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Just ordered a new grille from LMC, should have it Wednesday the 29th. Before we put it in we will paint the white accent that surrounds it. I have noticed alot of guys leave that area body color, I think it looks better white, and apparently the factory did too!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Did you junk that 62 grille???

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I did. It was in the classifieds on this site for 4 weeks with less than no interest.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Set the bed on the truck still lots to do but it is starting to look like a pickup.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Completed ding and dent repairs on the passenger side of the firewall, sprayed the bare metal areas with etch primer, and finished most of the sanding. Also fabricated new gaskets and mounted the heater plates. Pulled the carb and distributor (for open access) as the last task for today. If all goes according to schedule I’ll finish sanding the area behind the engine tomorrow, mask on Thursday and spray on Friday.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Hey Mark that's about as well thought out as anything I've ever seen, you and your son should market those I sure would buy one. The only machinest I know is my nephew and he's in Minnesota. Anyway that's about as cool as it gets stealth-wise Corvette valve covers are cool and retro. Thanks for the link...Vernski:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Still scraping old paint off the frame, but finaly got the engine pulled out this morning.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finally got the 406 running well, (timing issue) fixed the tranny leak (stupid cheap dipstick), mounted and plumbed power steering pump....took her for a drive and......NO BRAKES....bad way to find this out!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Put on the "Custom" sail panel trim pieces from my other truck. I know, they aren't original to this truck, but I really dig the way they look. Plus I had them so might as well use them, right?
