Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Right on!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Rings are good, but I would invest in a gas cap...

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I have one Orrie. The tank is under the bed now. I just thought the tag matches the personality of the truck better than the chrome cap. :-)

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I should have know better.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

^rag, not tag^

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Yesterday I finally bolted down my steering colume floor plate. Adjusted carb with help of vaccume gauge. Today some more little stuff. Not sure what yet.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

new temp gauge arrived so get to drain the radiator AGAIN....

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I started putting the truck back together after painting it

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Temp gauge in, big truck radiator is doing its job.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

bolted the bumper on and took the truck out in the day light for the first time since being painted

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Tim, looks good...Jim

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Thanks Jim. I'm hoping to get the bed wood installed this week so the wife and I can cruise this weekend:metal:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I got board waiting for the big brown truck to stop by, so i put some 1954 buick portholes in my hood.:lol:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Looking good Tim!!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I bought new fenders Sunday, hung them on the truck last night.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Mocking frame up... First time all the wheels are on .. :gmc2:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Picked up my motor today...5.3 longblock out of a '02 tahoe w/ less than 90k mi.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Double post...

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Getting ready to put it in my garage this weekend... decided to throw the battery out of my 442 in it and see if anything still worked...

Cue the scary john carpenter music!

Headlights & high beams worked, speedo dashlight worked... pressed on the starter plunger and it spins up- although didn't engage the flywheel. Probably stuck.

Will be pumping up the tires this afternoon and with some help relocating it to my garage to get things ready to try and fire it back up.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Put door weather strips on, new glove box and a light. Installed running board to cab rubber strips. Made new fender brace to firewall supports.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Got the truck out & gave it a bath. Going to the Duvall Days show tomorrow

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Started sandblasting my 51 cab in prep to put on the new rear lower panel. What a time consuming, dirty and hot job. It would have been cheaper to have someone come in and do everything and it would all be done in a day.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I took out the 3/4 ton rear end along with the overload springs and overload stops off the frame. Checked out the new (to me) '58 Apachie 1/2 ton rear end that will take it's place.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Started pulling apart the bed I bought yesterday.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

So I went to the Duvall Days car show yesterday. First time entering a show & won a prize.
Got a plaque for the " Best Off Road Truck" and its LOWERED !!!
Oh well, go figure.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

This is the first prototype. I'll do a couple more in black mainly because black is cheaper, then when i have it down pat, i'll do in the off White/Gray color. What ya think ?

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Looks cool Tomb23 but what is it? Maybe I'm out of the loop. I have a 3D printer to help out in prototyping if need be. All I need is the STL file.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Oh ya! Forgot. Sprayed on the first coat of paint on the 51. Sprayed Nason epoxy primer on the bottom of cab and up inside the top rear panel in preparation of installing the new rear lower cab panel. Gonna get the inside of the cab done tomorrow. Sandblasted the last two days just on the cab. If I see another grain of sand ......................

The Rubber Shifter Boot

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Fleetside bed inner fender body work. Wish I hadn't tossed so many bricks, rock, etc in there for 25 years. Got it close with hammer and dolly, then some skim. Final finish will be bed liner so prefection is not necessary.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

FarmerSid, Does a 3D Printer, print with RUBBER or PLASTIC

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

The one I have makes parts in ABS plastic. Soluble support. Dimension 1200 sst.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

It was made from Very Flexible Rubber

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Usually don't mix this and business, but anticipated cash for truck and other expenses is now a collection lawsuit. I should not be surprised that money trumps a 20 year business relationship, but it did. Unjust enrichment at my expense. Sorry for the vent.....but I feel a little better.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

MONEY will do that!!! Business, Family or Personnel !!!
As they ROOT of ALL Evil!!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Isn't that the truth? 2 years ago, my aunt went after my dad for money my now departed grandmother gave him to bail my duma$$ brother out of jail and take care of his legal fees. My aunt even had the nads to say i stole money from Nana to pay for college and threatened to sue me too. I told her if she brings that case to court i'd have her in a defamation lawsuit so fast her head would swim. (my gramma offered me money in college, but i never took it...told her to make me cookies instead, which she did.):lol:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Oh we have had our share of the family estate issues too. Found out trusts mean nothing if the people involved are unethical. Judges just say the family should solve it on their own and dismiss....

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

FINALLY got my vin verified...off to DMV tomorrow!
