Seats in but I’m going to have my upholstery guy redo it this coming winter PUI sent me enough to redo the back which the pleats are not well done. I am liking the color though . Now I need to try to get some dye for the arm rest .

This should work , :chevy:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/334152900903 Use an adhesion promotor like this , a few light coats goes a long way . https://www.amazon.com/Bulldog-Adhes...a-571859709017 |

Made a little progress on the seats I'm rebuilding. Reassembled the driver seat frame. Cleaned and painted the springs.

Rerouted my fuel hardlines to behind the crossmember, to free up space for future exhaust work. And mocked up the ac/heater hose routing for the Vintage Air install

Glad I kept the 16 inch adapters . I just need to get two more PO1 caps the set I had were for 4 wheel drive so they have a big hole in two them . Always find a set at Carlisle truck show. I’m going to get new tires on the original 17 inch rims but these came off my 72 tires have about 5k on them .

Assembled one of my seats last night. Glued the cover onto the foam so that it would follow the contours. These seats have no listing wires in the foam.

Turn signals stopped working on the 68 . I have an NOS red flasher knob unit but found I just needed to replace the cam . Easy job

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Started out a couple of weeks ago and saw a radiator fluid leak on the pass side. It's a fairly new Champion 4 core. Today I took on the removal and research. Pulled it and it turned out to be a clamp on a vacuum line keeping my lower hose from clamping on there nice and tight. Got it and now I'm back on the road.

pcoat my glove box to match the bezel gauge cluster

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Well I was looking forward to a little shop time doing a few SMALL things on the truck. When I closed the hood I heard a little "ping" and noticed the hood up on one corner. The rear hood bolt decided to pop it's captured nut out of the hood. The wife and I got the hood off the truck without any scratches, and it's now ready for repairs. Since access is good I took off the heater box and going to replace the heater core and blower motor. Then remove the glovebox and replace the blower resistor. Plus I'm sure I'll find a few more things along the way. ;)

I got the radiator loose from the 350 in my '71 GMC Jimmy. Later I'll get it to Precision Radiator for a tank repair.

My temporary tailgate keepers . I don’t want to have chains hanging even with rubber on them as the swaying back and forth with dust will scratch the paint . I’m thinking of making a slid out rod that would be stored in the bed top curl to support the gate in the open position.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Earlier in this page I mentioned about my nearly new 4 row Champion radiator issues. Was not the hose. Dropped it off at a shop locally. We will see.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Today I left the radiator from my '71 GMC Jimmy's 350 at Performance Radiators in Tucson. The only remaining old school shop in town for copper/brass radiators.
It had a tag on it indicating it was new in 1998, which is about right, as I re-engined that truck with a Mr Goodwrench 350, Weiand intake, Carter AFB, and Heddman headers around then, getting it on the road in Jan. '99. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Put 170 miles on the stepper . It’s getting a little over 13 mpg . 250 I6 ,SM 465 with 4.57 gears . Truck is really buzzing around 60 mph with the 265/75 16 on it . But it runs great and I really am liking driving it . Manual steering and drums aren’t my preferred setup but it’ll lock up the brakes and I can turn it if a creep along . My next project on it will be doing the disc conversion I have the spindles rotors and calipers off a 72 also the center link . Think I’m going to make them manual disc
My biggest thing is how hard would it be to put a 5 spd in it ? Will the later transmissions from say a Camaro work ? Think it would make it a little more civilized at highway speeds |
Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
That trans would handle the torque from an I6, and give you better mileage and drivability. What's not to like?
