I washed it and drove the hell out of it for a couple of hours.

Have seen these on other websites. They are pretty cool and they do good.
I ordered my NASCAR edition air gap manifold

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Tried to finish dismantling the rest of the water pump assembly, and proceeded to turn the head off the two bolts attaching the thermostat housings (top/bottom). Just one more thing to deal with....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Everytime I take a part off of any vehicle, I either break it, strip it or bust a knuckle. I hope you get it.

Abused it, by doing a couple of big burnouts.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Went to the DMV in Mariposa, CA. They balked at the non-commercial black plates I wanted to use. I had a '68 tag to go on them that I hadn't put on before I went in.
That freaked 'em out when I pulled it out of an envelope. They said the plates were "63 plates and can't go on a '68". I showed them the '68 tag. From the look on their faces, I thought they were staring down Charlie Manson's throat Then I said, "Do it the easiest way. I don't want to register it as a commercial vehicle". She said, "If you wanna do that, you'd have to weigh it, put on a permanent camper shell, and have it inspected. Take this form over there and wait in line again" Again, I said, " Just take it off non-op, register it to me, and use the existing plate". She said, "$177. Until September." "$177!" I said, "It's a '68 truck", being careful NOT to tell her it was only a pile of parts right now, lest she want the Judge and Jury to visit the shop for an inspection. Or worse. "Yeah. You told me you traded a $400 canoe for it. So there's use-tax on that four hundred. It's been on non-op since September of 2002, and you have transfer fees." "Okay. I'll pay you. But I have only one plate. So can you at least order me another plate so I don't get stopped by a cop that has nothing better to do than check out my truck and give me a ticket for one plate that I can't fix?" She said, "That's another form and an additional fee. Take this over there and get back in line when you've filled it out." I looked around and saw about 40 groups of folks that all had something better to do with their time than watch me get raped. I said, "I'll pay the fee and worry about the lost plate, the commercial plate, and the black plates later". A cheer went up from the crowd. She said, "177, cash, check, or debit card?" I paid her. I came home and rehabbed both wind wings. It was a nasty job. But I was in the mood for it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I vacumed out the interior and removed the ECE parts from the bed so I can detail/wash it this weekend.
My son climbed around on the bench and made vroom vroom sounds while holding the wheel and grabbing the shifter...lol |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Well I didn't do anything TO my truck but I did do some stuff FOR it. I started enclosing my shop which is where I will (hopefully) finish the teardown and restoration. And I unpackaged my new welder which will (again hopefully) help with that as well.
