Bought some temp seats for the truck for $50 from a friend Honda Prelude. They'll work till I can find the seats I really want

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Threw a 10ft aluminum brake in the back to deliver to my cousin. Gonna suck the gas down like a whiskey sour on a hot day, but it will give me the same smile driving it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

New Tunes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I have not bolted them down yet, but I did sit in it and it seems like it is going to work just fine. I paid $100.00 for them. I am not sure Iam going to keep the center console. i am thinking of building one that will give me some storage space and a couple of speakers.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

This is actually a what I did in the last 4 days post LOL! Monday evening I pulled the driveshaft and the 3 speed tranny to replace the clutch. Replaced it Tuesday night with the 12 inch clutch and heavy duty pressure plate that came with my 70 burb parts truck. Then I decided I'd put the 4 speed out of the burb in my truck. So Wednesday night I did this!

Today after my bus route I pulled this from the burb frame, sure wish I'd got the 402 that used to sit in front of it!

Then I slid it under the truck after checking it out, I rigged this up to lift it up into place, yea looks a little redneck, but it worked great and sure alot less lifting for me!

That is totally genius.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

dropped my driveshaft at the shop to have the end cut off and a new one put on, balance and put in new ujoints.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Was finally finishing up my brakes and spotted a crack on my passenger trailing arm. Pulled it off this morning with intentions of welding it up, but after seeing what I was actually working with... I replaced it!!! The second picture shows what was still keeping this together... SCARY!!! The "new" one is in and the Pumpkin is now drivin' and stopping :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

My wife informed me I forgot to mention that I had her operating the comealong in the final positioning, LOL! So thanks honey! I also didn't get a pic of the nylon strap I had hooked to the cross member and around the back of the tranny to hold it in place while I wiggled it into the splines and pilot bushing.

Thanks for the comments!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I went out to the garage and looked at the rust damage on my '67 cab which is located under the cowl and just shook my head and left confused. This is nothing unusual for me since this is the first truck I have tried to fix with so much rust.

Decided what the heck, might as well go to my son's house and see how he was doing on restoring the '68 GMC swb fleet and to have the evening meal with them.

When I got there he was just getting back from test driving the truck, it was not running right so I watched him adjust the carb.

After eating we decided what the heck, might as well put the hood on since it was the last piece of the sheetmetal to go on after painting. I had never adjusted one myself so I learned it takes time, patience and a lot of adjusting if you have taken a truck all the way apart and painted each piece individually.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

My truck is taken apart about as yours, but mine had a lot more rust problem than yours.

Most people probably would have just got another cab, but since I wanted to learn how to repair rust we cut out rust and put on at least 12 repair pieces.

I am lucky because my frame was cleaned by a PO who never finished the build. All I have to clean up is the front cradle and firewall.
