That is so impressive!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got the fenders back from the painter yesterday, looking sharp. If you look at the back side of the fender you can see all the small nick where I figure somewhere along its life must have been in a fender bender.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

i searched the net for an affordable disk brake kit (with no luck) for my 66 I'm picking up next weekend .

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Almost finished up the rear main seal replace I started yesterday. Need to torque pan bolts, put filter and oil in and fire it up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Installed new distributor, coil, rotor, cap, wires, plugs, set timing, repaired my fuel line, GOT MY NEW 63 started for the first time!!!!!! Unfortunately I still can't figure out the fuel issue, the carb is still dry. All I can think of is replacing the fuel pump. But what a relief to hear the engine start. The truck didn't run when I bought it so I am pretty happy not to have to replace an engine.

Hey, Mark:
Today I went outside and pulled the cruise parts out and guess what - They won't even fit between the motor and firewall... Oh well, chucked it out... It was the factory vacuum operated thing from the suburban that I pillaged the engine, tranny, and rear end from.

tightened up all my bed bolts, welded a filler for the gas fill place, worked on my interior, and checked everything after doing the rear axle flip and installing a c-notch.

Everything is looking great! Getting ready to make this my DD for awhile.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thinking of doing that... Have you got pics of the rear axle flip? PM for email.

Thanks.

Today, CB radio install, made a bracket that sits on the floor for the CB, holds CB/mic. Later, welding the cross bard for my rear facing trailer hitch receiver box onto frame, and mounting the box, moving the license plate, adding a slider hitch receiver holder and chain loops.

Well Frank will spend most of his time in the shop next to the stove with me with my feet up when the white stuff is outside [my wife calls the truck Frank]...Vernski:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yes that is the shape it was in when it came into my hands Mark. Say on a side point what do they charge for addmission to the Goodguys car show? Just want to be prepaired...Vernski:gmc2:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Hi Willy will get a shot of it in the day light...Vernski:mm:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

General walk-in admission is $15 a head, which is how I'll probably attend in the future. Compared to the NSRA, Goodguys charges big money and gives very little back to the participants. Unfortunately NSRA pulled out of the area many years ago so this is the only nationally coordinated local event. In spite of my political opinions of the Goodguys organization, we always have a good time.

Here's a link showing the particulars of the event. Hope to see you there:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I got my shop cleaned out and started taking the front clip apart to prepare for my v8/auto/ps/pb swap!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Paint!! (at least on the front half, the bed will come in the next few weeks)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

wow yj, pure bad ass....whats your plans for wheels and tires?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

WOW, I had asked about a paint scheme a while ago, as I wanted to go two tone, but, wanted the dividing line at the center of the hood line, horizontally. that idea evoved to the upper body line, just below the windows.

Seeing HotRodYJ's paint above, that IS the dividing line I will use, as it evolved in the paint post, but, mine will be either Ferrari red on the bottom, medium silver on the top, of, gunmetal gray on the bottom, light silver.

HotRodYJ, that is a nice paint scheme of yours, it's gonna look dynamite great.

Nothing real special. 4 bolt main 350, flat tops, Performer RPM cam and 3 deuces. A little bling, serpentine set-up with York for the OBA system.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That's how the rich get richer!

As for updates, with the help of my squeeze we got the forward cab mounts painted and Armoral'd the upholstery. About all that's left is giving the truck a bath and we'll be all set for the weekend.

Also took a couple of photos of the recently updated dash:
