Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Waiting on rain to quit, so I can clean the truck again for Cruising the Coast. Seems like I ever time it's clean I want to drive it, then it rains
Oh well....sorta keeps me outta trouble.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Hey, Palf70Step, saw your visors on the WDYDTYT II thread. Did your upholsterer do those or did you buy them somewhere? If you bought, can you share the source, those look great.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Took a break from working on house stuff and spent a little time in the garage just fooling around. Got my bezel and tilt/turn sig levers painted I think it turned out pretty good.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Can't really say anything bad about Summit Racing. I am sure they have their problems but when I can order something at 3 in the afternoon on Wens and it shows up at my door at 10:15 Thurs. what can I say.. Not to mention if I were to get it at my local store it would cost over $20 more. I guess you could say I changed my idler arm today. It seemed to have gone bad on me. When I was under the truck I grabbed the tie rod ends and found the shop that did my alignment didn't tighted one of the clamps (this is why I hate having someone else working on my truck) so the tie rod was rocking. Maybe that is what caused my idler arm to fail. I dought it but you never know.

Well, I walked by her today and realized it's about time to get busy. The weather is finally cooling off here in AZ and I will get after my '64 shortbed stepside here again shortly :-)
