Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Looked at it and got mad, upset etc. My daughter got kinda stupid for a few seconds. she was backing the golf cart out of the garage and managed to hit my truck, it was an accident of course but it made a mess...Its over now come the repair part, There, now my venting is over.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Did you blow up the golf cart? it deserves it at least!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I am of the opinion that this site has the best members you could want to share our common interest with. After posting about my new custom body work I went out to work on the damage with my future son in law, he almost has the cowl corner or whatever it's called about 75% repaired. I just came in and had a PM from "Old Chevy Truck" he offered condolences for the damage, then, here is the part that reinforces the great members part. He offered me a killer deal on the needed trim to replace my damaged piece, FREE, just pay the shipping. Thanks, I am blown away by your kindness and will be in touch to thank you via PM.

No I'm not gonna blow up the golf cart, my 2 yr old grandson likes it too much.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I'm of a similar mindset, kids are expensive and accidents happen. Get upset, fix it, move on. It nice the damage wasn't worse and the parts are removable. Also nice to hear a supportive forum member could help you out!

"No I'm not gonna blow up the golf cart, my 2 yr old grandson likes it too much'.

Could you at least go put a dent or scratch in IT, probaly would make us feel better ;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Looks like your daughters first golfing Bogie..but you scored a hole in one with the trim.

A couple of years ago when we arrived home from a vacation camping trip I asked my daughter to back her mom's Honda out of the garage. I did not ask her to back it into the front of the TrailBlazer in the driveway. Two..two..two..hits with one !

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finally finished welding/cleanup on the new passenger outer rocker, and I now know why body shops charge so much to do these…
then I removed the ugly old front pieces, preparing to install the nice rust-free versions I've already prepped.
Progress, but it's very hot out there and now I need a nap.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I know what you mean, I was searching around for some radiator support aprons and Markebo1 shipped some to me free of charge (he said he just wanted the freight) They are nicer than anything one could find at a boneyard and he is greatly appreciated. Kieth

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Sent the 350 back to it's home!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

put my old air condenser and lines in, excellent kit, be sure and check out the radiator I have listed on Ebay, free shipping to the lower 48, its a engineered products that has a bad bow corner to corner, the tranny lines are an inch off of where they need to be you will have to trim both supports, It would be ok if you are not using electric fan as the sides were not flat when it was welded, its at less than 4 bucks, not worth more than 50 and all money 100% is going to charity, I sold the champion I had that fit fine, and have a new one on the way, i will ship in the champion box

Thanks

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I have had a stack of parts sitting in the garage for a few months now and decided I should do something about it while I am waiting to buy some other stuff. So I pulled the heater off, got the wires cleaned up, then started pulling off the fuel system.

I have an Edelbrock dual plane manifold, Edelbrock carb, and HEI distributor ready to be installed. I still need my HO 3 wire alternator and some new engine hardware.

Got all the surfaces prepped, threads chased, and ready to install. Hope to have a chance to get it all back together next weekend. I'll repaint the engine bay and put in all new belts and hoses.

Anyone else get sidetracked easy? I am working on my interior, but decided to work on the motor since I have most of those parts. But now I am looking at new valve covers, new air cleaner, looking at AC options. Man, I need a project manager to keep me on task. :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I always get side tracked, I start in one place and end up somewhere else. I have been stacking parts getting ready for my 5.7 TPI install.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Must be a Ga thing... i get side tracked myself, but usually by life and the heat lol.

Hopefully planning to get the chassis parts painted this week and assembled.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I have a list of things the truck NEEDS, then I have a list of things the truck WANTS. I start with the needs list, but it ends up with "While I have the <whatever> off, might as well replace the <whole list of other things>"

I guess I'll worry if I get to a point of buying more than one things for the same thing. :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Barely enough paint for the firewall, put some things on just to see how it looks with the new hardware :lol:

I think it will look pretty good when it's all done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Started on my military theme for my truck...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Set the alarm so we can wake up & work on the truck tomorrow. Fuel & Water pumps to be replaced, as well as having the rear-end checked out. We're moving, and want to use PJ (66 Panel) as originally intended by the manufacture. A cargo truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Nice....that's the route I want to go with mine. I'm going to use black for stars and other stencils though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Went ahead and yanked the cab off the frame since I'd recently pulled the front clip; found dirt/rust stockpile in the old heater…

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got the door handles mounted. I decided to have a matched set of locks so I won't always have to go through the passinger door to get in.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

I just wish I was at the point of paint. :whine:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Verified that it was an out-of-round tire causing a bounce in the rear end. Found out we have air-shocks in the rear. We also have just about 100% original truck.. including the muffler lol. That truck runs QUIET. Pics later..
