Re: What did you do to your truck today?
markeb01 - I took my truck around for a little shakedown run after all of this wiring and what not going on. It's a good thing too, as I noticed my blinkers weren't working. I had knocked the flasher loose in all of my rooting around.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
It's nice discovering those little bugs before being stuck in traffic or heading out on that 1,000 mile road trip!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Finished up the gas tank mounts, grinding down some welds on the bed mounts, made new under the dash mounts for the caprice steering column, made a wire template for the steering and am now checking on options with Flaming River, Borgeson, and IDIDIT. Looks like Borgeson has the best solution for my set up.. Oh and tried a little dent removal on the bed and found out that body work is one thing that doesnt get better with age... I still suck..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Had to pull the motor and tranny as I had an oil leak, it just got worse the more the motor ran, I was thinking rear main. Well the oil gallery plugs were all loose one fell out and the others just hand tight, I should have checked it, but thing is I supplied the macine shop with a complete new set, and had the works done on the block, its all done, and I will re stab tomorrow, I went ahead and changed out the center bolt covers for an early version

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Made my 66 long stepper run and drive! New/used Holley 4412 is on, new/used Holley air cleaner, set timing and drove it up the street for the first time. Needs brake job and some asshat stole the car cover off of it last night. But it runs and drives! Happy new year!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Towesddg9 what did you use to change your centerbolt covers to perimeter style? Adaptors that bolt to the center bolt holes?

Still block sanding. This should be my last time, now have to wait for warmer weather to see if I can get some color on it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I installed my repaired radiator with all of the accessories. Additionally, I installed my new parklamp/turn signal wiring harness under the hood.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I went to a local saw mill and picked up 10 3/4" white oak boards for my bed floor for $120 bucks. They were all planed and trued up and ready to cut to size. I cut them to spec according gmcpauls write up, or as close as I could. Now I have to cut the grooves etc in them. I made some practice cuts on some scrap, using just a regular combination blade, anyone else just use a regular blade to cut the grooves? Did you go the full 1/4" wide?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Today I pulled it out of the weeds, aired up the tires, and noticed some @$$hole got in my truck and cut off the pigtail and plug off my dimmer switch!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I like that way of thinking.... you would think with a nickname like Sig Shooter people would think twice before stealing from a red blooded, gun packing, redneck from the south!
