Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Yesterday I picked up an older aluminum cap for my '72 for swap meets and camping. Today, after the rain I have been waiting for to wash the roads clean, I uncovered the truck. I keep it on jack stands with the tires barely touching all winter and now it's time to drive it. The routine is first rotate the tires and lube up the brake sliders. I noticed the chrome lug nuts had a little rust starting, so I used chrome cleaner polish, wiped, waxed, and polished off first. Got the wheels on, off jack stands, started up, and moved truck trailer spot, and trailer with new cap in truck's spot to unload the cap for painting. That's it and it took a while due to the lug nut situation. Next is mount the cap for Carlisle
