I'm thinking about doing the same thing (through the fender) off of a cutout

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

Installed new shocks on my Dad's 71 big block.
Took my 72 out from winter hibernation and washed it.

Homemade side pipes , love it

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

I'm running a big block, the passenger side was a breeze, the drivers, well....I thought about cutouts and tail pipes, but the cab floor is hot enough as it is.

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

Im wondering if you realized the dust storm you are going to have everywhere you go now? There was times I thought my truck was on fire when I had turn downs....

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

That's a great color of green!

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

YA... You have probably started a 67-72 trend!!!!! 'tis the season

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

Started to cut my dash harness for my new gauge cluster and my first attempt at Phosphate coating. the striker plates and bolts came out great but i guess i didn,t clean the shims enough. going to try some more things on sunday

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

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

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

Pure Toy - future trips to the dragstrip. Doesn't get out in the dirt much anymore. After suspension, rear end, brakes work is done, going to add a supercharger.

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

Today on the way home from work, I recessed the grille and lowered the passenger headlight a little with the help of some friends I made in a Hyundai. Also I vented my aluminum radiator, trans cooler and engine oil cooler with the water pump pulley.

Well, I pulled the steel part of the low-pressure line off to find the hole in it caused by rubbing against the inner fender. Next step: find a replacement for the steel part of the hose or have one made.

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

Sweet mod........That's a bummer. How's the frame?

I only built shelves above the garage door, for the cowl and an NOS inner grille I couldn't pass up.

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

Ah man that sucks But it's just steel , it can be repaired as long as all is where ok.

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

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

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

I'm in the process of re painting my rear bumper

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

Found out my rear wheel cyls were toast. started yesterday and have the pass side replaced. Brake adjusters were froze. Gonna knock out the driver side later on this aft. Brakes have been a little iffy since I bought the truck.

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

Yesterday actually, finished insulating the fire wall and under cowl with EZ Cool insulation. I applied two layers on the fire wall and one on the cowl area, used 3M head liner spray adhesive, adheres really well.

I'm sure the sense of humor didn't come out right away, lol. But glad you have it. I'm sure you'll get it together.

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

I took mine for a drive on this nice Sunday morning!

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

Less than 500 miles into driving the pickup in its current configuration, the trans is toast!

It was just rebuilt, hopefully the builder stands behind it!

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

I hate to ask... but what trans is it? If its a th350 or th400, the detent (kick) down cable is VERY important to get set Correctly... or it will slip the clutches and fry a good trans... Sorry for your luck though..

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

Put wheels and tires on which are almost too big. Almost

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

Aw man!... thats so sad :(

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

Nice, want to myself but had too much to do.

Nice truck too.

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

last primer is sprayed. Sanding next and then....COLOR

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

I spent 5 hours to get 1.5 sets of inner fender bolts down to metal, and I never did get to my nuts. Tired and my back hurts. Mom called at 2am, because one of her Shepards was dying. By the time I got there (five minutes away) he was a breath a minute, and I only witnessed three. Bruno was quite large, about 120 lbs. Very graceful.

It was unusual to see how the other dogs reacted. The emotional one was looking for consoling (she's part white lab, white labs are VERY sensitive). The other boy, who is near 2 years old was off as well, though confused. When I brought him inside it didn't quite register, though he's a very smart dog. I've noticed that in some animals. They recognize you in life, not necessarily in death.

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

Last two weekends got the engine, radiator support and frame painted. Installed new shocks and front steering stabilizer. Ready to install motor next.

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

said good bye too this one today.
it was cool to see this one go down the road and have the "other guys" view of it rippin down the street.
the new owner was more than happy to drive it 45 mi. home.....its gonna make one bad azz ls'd shop truck hopefully we get to see this one in the future.

before and after pic...not much done to it but we cleaned it up and got it running driving good. its a beast of a 2wd truck even with the 305 in it.

i woulda loved to build this into a k but i really dont need yet another truck in peieces here.

onward i go sanding on the stepper and getting the axle and motor back in the k

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

2 more dr side this time....


had a blast at carlise yesterday.

this thing really only seriously needed tires(16.5")and a exhaust and of course some rust repair.

i'll prolly never own a more complete truck than that one:lol:

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

Drove it about 20 miles to a local Cars and Coffee gathering. It showed well and we had a great time.

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

TH350, everything was adjusted right, and it was running good. It came apart under full load shifting into 3rd. I got it out last night and it seems as though the input shaft sheered all the splines off inside or I broke the drum. 500hp shifting right at peak power was just a little more than it wanted.

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

my TH350 will not shift down on its own, i always i have to manually do it under load (if i feel it needs a downshift). could my kickdown cable not be adjust correctly?

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

Started it up and move it from the garage where its been hibernating since last October.

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

I would say its not right... At WOT the cable should be all the way tight... Im sure there are some youtube vids on how to Correctly adjust it. If its not right it WILL kill a trans way too early

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

ahh... May want to look into a built 200r4 they can handle a bit more than a th350 and you also get an O/D... its the lesser known brother of the 700r4 and you can get then cheaper

Your builder may have used some cheap innerds in it... see what he will stand behind and go from there.

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

got new dome light and filler neck grommet in today from brotherstrucks.com! I'm getting closer to getting it on the road, plan on (again) cutting the old bed off of the truck and putting the new one on!
