What did you get done? 3/18/07
I didnt even look at the 71 4x4.Rising scrap prices bought me out and I started cutting up all the parts trucks I have after saving the good parts.This week the parts trucks are being taken to the scrapyard.What about the rest of y'all?

Cleaned up the garage a little, got the parts I wanted to keep off of my parts truck, and started installing my stainless brake lines.

Bought a pair of NOS 72 Texas truck plates. Bought a tailgate from STP 67-72. Nice score of both of them I do say.

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
I got some vinyl and started to go crazy on custom door panels (not very custom) and such. Started my stereo install to try to cover the POs butchery. Finished nothing thanks to a migrane headache mid-day today.

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
didnt do anything to the 72 chevy, except haul the parts to a storage area.
Got the 72 gmc temp. motor in and up and running, no it's all mine, traded my old daily driver for it. I will get a thread with pics going tomorrow, it's to dark to take pictures at this time. I have sisters now. Betty - 1972 chevy c-10 (future show truck in restoration) Betsy - 1972 GMC super custom ( daily driver) Both LWB

Waxed my truck, and thought to myself how nice it would be driving it.
I hate winter...

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
Didn't do anythng on the 71 this weekend.
My son stopped by today and we talked about old trucks for a while. Went over to my brother's and helped him install brake pads, a new axle seal on the front differential and bleed the front brakes on his 98 Chevy 4X4. Other than that I was getting stuff together for our trip down to Fort Smith, Arkansas next weekend to visit some friend. Danny SEMO |

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
Picked up my powder coated Rally Wheels. Polished the trim rings and caps. Got a new set of BFG's and Lug Nuts. Still need to get SS bolts for the caps(last owner painted orange). Then I put a few miles on them.

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
OOOO PURTY. What valve covers are those? Got started on some custom door panels ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Theyll be trimmed, shapped, then covered in tweed probly. What ever shade for cream the seats come in will dictate the panels color. Custom armrests, kinda like the Copperhead ones that stretched over part of the door handle. Probly do some tuck and roll across it too. And my truck was broken into... But its kinda hard to steal a truck that has no engine, trans, or steering wheel... go see my ranting thread about that one. ![]() |
