I made a wastebasket out of a paint container cuz the ashtray is useless with my iPod sitting in it all the time.

Took the truck for a little spin to check out the tires and I hear ticking. Time for diagnosis.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Took a few more baby steps on my truck today.

I wire brushed the rain gutter and rear cab upper seam above the back window, then sprayed rust stop stuff in them.

I used the stuff that O'Reilly's store has.

I am still having problems getting my act together, but I finally decided to start at the top and work my way down.

Test mounting my new Torq Thrust wheels that I got from my brother who had them for his truck which was wrecked almost 8 years ago. Wheels have just sat in the boxes and never been mounted!

20x10 for the rears, and 18x8.5 for the fronts.

I had 2 Nitto Invo 295/35/20 on my Impala project, so I dismounted one of my Coys and put the Invo on the Torq Thrust and mounted to test fit.

Still deciding if the backspacing is right....

Since I am "officially" done with the back half (shortened the frame/box, installed lowering coils, installed 2" lowering blocks (shooting for 6" total drop), installed new/improved/relocated panhard bar, relocated upper shock mounts, flipped the trailing arm brackets, beefed up my trailing arms (skip welded and new poly bushings), cleaned and painted all that, built/installed 3" exhaust system with X pipe/DynoMax 2 chamber mufflers routed through the mid cross member and finished up blazer tank install) I ordered my 2.5" drop spindles and 2" lowering coils...yesssss. Time to turn it around in the garage and rip the front end off. Here...we...go! hahahahaha...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Installed new seat, recycled leather with cloth inserts

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Try to take off the spare tire holder, couldn't get the bolts to come loose. Sawzall and about 2 minutes and it was off. Took the old nasty headliner out, cleaned the carpets, installed spectre air cleaner with top filter, new floormates, replaced all the lights. Ordered a new piece of trim for the door with clips, saddle seat cover and new dash pad from lmc.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

just went for a nice burnout

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I finished putting on mudflaps today and put another hour into buffing grill. Should have it all buffed out in another 2 hours. Tough getting 40 years of oxidation off that aluminum. I bought some seals for the door windows and the clips are not located in the right place. Most perplexing. Will have to call LMC and see what is wrong.I will finish grill thursday and install grill and front bumper and take truck for maiden voyage. Finally!! Cant wait.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Well I started by washing it good for the cruise in tomorrow. Then I worked on the drivers side door. I got it where it closes pretty good now but the back bottom still sticks out some. I have new door handles to install, just got them today from Tim Christian , thanks they look great and GM to!:chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Latley I have taken the front bumper off my 69 and started sanding it down and is soon to repaint it White, like it is already. Put some floor mats in, Got my Ipod hookups put into my stereo. Added four Kicker speakers in. Tuned the carb, so Its burning rubber now. Next is to find out why my Posi isnt kicking in, and also about to replace the rear main seal and take valve covers off and paint them and new gaskets.

Loaded it on a trailer and hauled it two hours away to my new paint and body man!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Well, craigslist tempted me again. Bought some basically new 2011 Dodge wheels with tires a week or so ago. And today they got installed. I still need to get some center caps but couldn't wait to get the wheels on. I love the stock look but I love the other look too!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Mark the tire and spin it one time and count how many times the drive shaft spin's.
;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Doesn't that only work on a posi type, I think if no posi then put one tire on the ground and spin one tire and count the revolutions and times by 2, I think. I know if posi just put both tires in air and count as you said, guess it will be obvious.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Replace the blue 4 inch heavy duty coils with new black 5 inch lowering coils.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Helpd my son swap out his slider for a solid rear window on his 69. And I finally got my gas gauge to work....dropped the rear tank and pulled out the sender and the brass float had a hole and was full. Installed a new float and it works!
