What did you do to your truck today part IV

[chevy_mike]

This is a continuation of this thread, from Part III. That thread has gotten huge so as we have done in the past, we'll start a new one. Let's keep this going.

I did this over the weekend but I finally got the 4 wheel disc brakes done and the new system bled! Ordered a PS pump bracket from Summit, so I can finish up the PS conversion. Slowly getting my panel going, since I have had it 5 years and never driven it.

Here's a pic, since everyone likes pics.

Thats a great looking Panel....

I upgraded to power disc brakes using mid 70's ball joints, spindles and power brake booster/master. Stops real nice now. It is funny how I still pump on the pedal when stopping..

[TJ's Chevy]

Order more parts for mine today. Should be here in a couple days and then some truck time this weekend.

[Northwest Outlaw]

Got the new Champion Radiator in and a few more little things like trans cooler lines, trans vacuum line, choke cable, replaced chrome water filler neck with black one, and got a repop battery hold down and dome light from Classic Parts.

I have a 65 which I am going to upgrade to disc brakes (5 lug)in the next couple months, I was curious what size tires wheels your are going with. I’ve read stock rims won’t work with the disc brake upgrade?

Thanks!

Not a darn thing! Flu is kicking my arse!

Hope to pull this a block or so down the street to my house and turn my love of my '71 GMC into the start of a fleet!

[Palf70Step]

Just driving. I need to stop and work on some things I want to tweak.

[curvedglass]

Installed original refurbished radiator and new water pump. Then took the Mrs out to dinner for a test ride.

I have had the truck three years now and with that job complete - everything under the hood has been replaced with the exception of the motor itself. I can't wait for the road salting to end so it can be returned to daily driver status.

Pumped the gas pedal twice, pulled out the choke, started it up and drove to work. Tried out my zip tie based, experimental Mexican blanket seat cover attachment system. So far, so good.

[dstarrett]

Elaborate more on your Mexican blanket/zip tie system shp4man. I have the blanket just need to secure it. Thx in advance.

[Northwest Outlaw]

Hid a '66 in some renderings at work...

[53Sparky]

Installed Captainfab's Power steering conversion into my 62, and began the process of shortening the frame for a 7' bed. 8"/4" cut.

[BurbN]

That's awesome, Outlaw....LMAO!

Just put the repaired radiator back in the burb, filled with the green stuff, and cracked a beer. Ahhhhhh Finally FRIDAY!

[blown240]

I picked up a couple 3rd row seats from a Tahoe. I will figure out which one I want to use as a back seat in my Panel truck...

[oldies1938]

picked up truck from upholstery shop

[The Rocknrod]

Sweet interior. What are all the items under the dash there?

[PGSigns]

Rode to North Carolina today and picked up the new family member. A 65 Suburban. Now resting in Virginia.

I am attempting to graft the bracket for the steering column and master cylinder from a square body on my 1966 suburban.

[Backpayne]

Made the thin whitewalls a little wider.

Took all the bondo that cracked off it was a 1/4 inch thick.
