What did you do to your truck today?
 
Whats up guys? So I did a search on this forum board and didn't see anything like this. But anyways I'm part of a forum board that is based out of Southern Oregon/ Northern California and they have a thread in there that is titled what did you do to your car today. It is pretty cool so I figued it would be cool to start one here. It can be as minor as an oil change or a wash job or as major as a cab swap and anything in between, its just cool to see what others do on thier trucks on a daily basis. Let me know what you guys think!
Cheers.

I drove mine out into the driveway so I could get to the Halloween boxes on a low shelf behind it. Then I backed it back in. After that I cleaned up the oil stain I left in the driveway.

More planned for tomorrow.

I worked on a customer's big window cab, put a pair of radiator extensions on a '64 GMC, cleaned up a pair of passenger side front fenders and shipped 12 packages of various '60-'66 Chevy/GMC parts.

I will be working on the '65 Chevy big window cab tomorrow and shipping some more parts.

Thanks for starting this thread.

First I walked around it, then stared at it then went back in the house to list stuff for sale so I can afford to finish it. Then gathered up some pieces that need to be painted black. Also working on a wish list for Moultrie GA swap meet Nov 20-22.

Just picked up a 62 C10 for my son a few weeks ago. Opened up the 12 bolt rear today to find fresh Yukon gears, axles etc. Some new lube and it's ready to roll.

Bet it was a lot more enjoyable getting the nice clean ones back in compared to taking the old ones out.

Im partial to the rain. I like it because that means its snowing up in the hills and I love snowboarding. Although I wish it wasn't raining down here so I could get some more work done on my truck.

Today i just drove mine around. But last Monday i took mine to Monday Night Football here in San Diego. We had a little tailgate party out the back, and it was a huge hit with everyone at the stadium. One drunk dude told me it was the coolest truck he had ever seen, and was it a '74? Another compliment from a chick who asked me if it was a '54. 20 year span! but lots of fun and lots of compliments. Just wish my Chargers hadn't choked damn-it.

I put a few more miles on the Burb today going to the shop and a couple errands and back home. Will be doing it again tomorrow since my regular DD needs a PS pump. Trying to enjoy the Burb as much as I can before the snow flies. I don't like to drive her in the winter anymore......friggin deicer.

Nothin' today- but have big plans for the weekend!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 
Lmc parts arrived yesterday. Headed to the A-zone to pick up a new flex plate I ordered. Then maybe I can take the transmission back out and remove the 168 tooth flex plate and put on the 153 tooth that I should have put on the first time!
It had a 168 tooth flywheel with the three speed and I never thought that the change from the manual style starter to the automatic trans style would take the smaller flex plate.Got in a hurry and forgot to check. oh well- stuff happens

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 
Last night I measured my truck for the new driveshaft that I need to finish my 700r4 install. Today I went over and ordered the driveline with yoke and u-joints for 220.00. Oh! and I spent some cash at Jegs for the TV cable bracket and geometry corrector for my carb. Some day I might be able to drive this thing! But first I'll need a cab, bed, some fenders maybe a hood and doors. But damn the frame, engine and trans looks nice!
