@ Stomper - Awesome! Glad you get to enjoy it.

Nice job on the short box Stomper, well worth the effort for sure.:mm:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Couple of days behind here, took it out for a drive Sunday afternoon had a hole in the radiator so had to stop and give it a drink a couple times. Monday afternoon swapped out the bad radiator for a good one from one of my parts trucks. I love working on these trucks, half an hour from drain to refill! It was such a nice evening, my wife and I washed it today, got all the mud and mold scrubbed off. That 70 GMC bumper I installed that had been stored since 1970 shined up so nice! I didn't think to take a pic, but all the colors look much nicer now! LOL

wrwelton
Yep been doing all the same to mine...Looks good

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Drove all over getting supplies for a friend. Go to leave and she won't start. horn works. Fuel pump comes on. Not even a click from the starter. Posting over on electrical to see what might be suspect. I'm guessing I burned a wire on the headers, but I guess maybe the starter switch could be the culprit.

Picked up a 4l80e trans. Why do people never drain old oil from engine or trans before pulling them? I used a cherry picker to get it out. This sucker is heavy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I installed the bulkhead fitting for my air conditioning lines in the firewall tonight. Of course the Aeroquip fittings I bought won't thread onto the bulkhead fitting, something is wrong with the threads. I wonder how Vintage Air will handle this little problem.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Instead of assembling my brakes, I pulled it further apart... Fixed the bad helicoil... and figured out I need some new seals and probably lower kinkpin caps...

:metal:I drove around town tonight kind of shaking it down before driving over to Pensacola for a cruise in tomorrow night.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Washed it and went for a mini-cruise. Installed the transmission shifter indicator, but think I have the wrong one since it sticks above about the housing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

finally installed the new weather molding around the doors and getting ready for some carpet.........

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Covered my shifter handle with velour and a few extras.

I found out last night I got the wrong plug wires from summit so i went to the parts store and got some MSD universals. That was the biggest pain in the ass until i discovered dish soap makes the boots slide much better.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

My son just bought this little 69 shortwide last sat and yesterday he started installing his ECE 4.5/6 drop.
Will have finished pics later today.........and yes, there are jackstands under the frame.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Since I haven't been on for a while...

Saturday changed the oil and greased front end. Two plugged zerks on control arms and broke one on a ball joint that ended up having a couple cuts in the boot too.:banghead:

Today, hauled 1086 lbs steel and 224 lbs copper to scrap yard.:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

drove the old thing to work threw some stuff in the back and drove it home. i goosed it a couple of times, and got annoyed at the squealing caliper. best of all i dug a trench for a french drain in my yard and returned time and again to deposit and with draw empty and full cans of beer. good day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got frustrated trying to change my drivers door, the truck just had new cab corners and rockers installed before I bought it and installed a bit high are the rockers, so cutting them off tomorrow night then refitting it myself, some people just don't pay enough attention to detail do they. Oh well, just take a bit longer to get doors on.:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Swapped the whole front grill. Repainted and polished my front badge. Put my grill trim in :D also painted my eyelids black.

Wet sanding...:devil:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

pulled the diff cover off. found out I have a 14 bolt out of some later year. Need to check ratio tomorrow.
Also discovered my carrier bearing is completely shot abd the drive shaft looks to far out on the spline. Good thing is the carrier is probably my weird wobble when just taking off.
Also discovered I have a TH400 not TH350 so I had to update my sig. :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Glove box went in. Putting in rubber boots around floor shifters next.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got the seat back from the upholstery shop and in it went. Should have been a straight swap but the seat I got from what was supposed to be a '72 was the same dimensions for the cover but had totally different rails and bolting pattern. And of course the new holes I had to drill hit just about half a hole in the support member. A little grinding and a little dremel tool and in it went.

Also put 3 point seat belts in

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Last night, but I went to bed right after so no posty :D

Tailgate hinges and brackets finished in Sail Blue
Tailgate stripped, and barely a coat of primer on it

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I decided to put the seats in my truck to see what they will look like. They came out of a 2006 suburban. I found them at a junk yard last week. Iam most happy

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Really like those seats a lot, do they fit good for lenghth and also with the t.case shifter. Jealous, would be nice in my 71 4x4. Someday I may score as good as you did.
