Loosened the bolts holding the seat so I can remove the water soaked carpet. Plan to clean and prime the floor prior to installing a LMC rubber mat.

Added JC Whit "soundmaster" chambered muffler and a shiny turn down. $24 muffler, $8 turndown. All very temporary until I can get it to work and start phase two.

Pulled all three benches out, and re carpeted the floor front to back.
Installed my last piece of body trim - a little 7" piece that I have been hunting for for many years. (Thanks MAR-K!)

Installed a set of LMC 3 point seatbelts and a new center lap belt. Well, that was actually Friday but I haven't been on to post it. ;)

Went and picked up and installed a new fuel sending unit. Now I can actually tell how much gas I have, lol.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Took out the seat, removed the carpet, started cleaning the cab floor in preparation for the new rubber mat. Need to patch a couple rust spots first, then new door seals, etc. Does it ever end?????

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Replaced a rocker panel, lower "A" pillar and inner cowl panel.

Put a new carb on th '70 last week. Tonite "threw a tune-up" on the '70. Now I need to replace the front seal on the tranny, it's leakin' like crazy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I actually DROVE it...first time its moved under its own power in the 4 years since I've had it...who knows how long before that.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Installed a new power steering gear box, trimed and painted the inner fender well, tightened up the leaky tranny pan, looked at the blown out brake line and wondered if I would ever get another one(been waiting a week to get two from Autozone) and pressure tested the new gear box. So far no leaks. Time will tell tho.

I load tested the battery on the truck after it didn't want to start. Compared it to the battery in my Buick SUV and discovered that my Buick needs a new battery.

Maybe the starter in the Chevy has a bad ground causing it to not want to start. I'll have to do some digging. Or I may have some kind of parasitic draw killing my battery.

Did a little work on the father / son project (my 14 year old's first rig). Pulled the recovered bench seat and visors from the donor cab. Cleaned them all up and sprayed a couple fresh coats of vinyl dye. Started going through the ductwork. Repaired some questionable headlight wiring. Then showed my son how to shift through the gears in the 4 speed. :) That was the best part!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Well I went by "The Shop" (my 2nd home), to just B.S. with the Owner and his Son.
The Conversation got around to the Tired Engine in my 72 GMC,
and how I had bought a GM Crate Engine back in 2004 (ZZ383/425),
for my 67 C-10, and that I paid $5600.00 for it at the Time.
Well that type of Income is in the past, so we got around to talking about engines, and I told him if anyone ever came into the shop with a "Well Worn" 350, that was in better condition than MINE, to give me a call.
Anything is better than my 185 HP 350. So he says that he's got a 32 Chevy Delivery Sedan, that has a stroked 350/383 from the P.O.
He says it's approx. 350-390 HP.
He said that I would have 1st Dibs, when he puts his NEW engine into it!!!

This Guy not only has great Customer Service, but treats me like part of the Family too!:metal:

Took mine to a local cruise in last night, and hung out with some friends and looked at a few hotrods. First time I have really drove it since I recurved the distributor and changed the timing, and jetted the carb. It runs better than it ever has, and no more extremely stinky exhaust. Gonna go to a show tomorrow too, and enjoy cruisin in the 67 as much as possible this weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Installed my Converter Lockup Wiring kit from TCI, installed my tranny pan and my Milodon Dipstick and swapped my 700r4 into the frame.
