Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Good question! Good answer! If you don't know now you know! Lol! The rockers ain't that bad in taking of and replacing I thought it was going to harder. The hard is looking for all the spot welds.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I decided to replace all the steel brake lines with stainless so I picked up a double flaring kit to go with my tubing bender. Also got a second angle grinder cause I am really sick of switching out wheels right in the middle of a project.
I finally got the rear end clean enough to paint. That'll get done Saturday morning. Steven

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Good day so far, I finished inside my cab today; dash - wooden bezel, wooden clock/radio holder, new knobs, handle for glove compartment (old harley davidson bolt), rubber door lining installed one side, new seat belts installed, A/C vents painted and reinstalled, and GMC door sill plates installed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
scoured internet and catalogs looking for all of the upgrades I am going to do. Stuck mainly on the type of disc bake conversion. Transplant crossmember and rear to get 5 lug but lose the torsion setup or go with a commercial 6 lug kit up front.........

Gauge cluster looks good, fits in well with the switchs.

Found out the mirror shakes a whole lot less when all three screws are tight!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Spent the day re-reading everything I can find about actually installing the windshield. Half the success stories install the windshield top first, while the rest start bottom first. I sure wish there was a pictorial posting already in place specific to the 60-63 wrap around windshield. The factory service manual is practically worthless because it offers no installation photos and doesn't address the issue of the glass hitting the roof overhang.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I finished rewiring the water temp. and oil pressure gauges and stereo. Prewired the Fosgate punch 150 amp and Kenwood EQ. Turned it over for the first time in over 1 year. Gas started shooting out of the front of the carb. Its a Holley 4160 600cfm vacuum secondary, rebuilt it 1 year ago. Also reinstalled epoxied gas tank, new fuel line, hoses, and filters. New sending unit and connecting hose to fuel neck installed. Removed carb. and removed front bowl. Air nozzled and wired out all ports. Checked accell. pump, checked ok. Cleaned out primary nozzles and reinstalled. Turned over and fired right up! Accell good and idle good. Shut-off and looked inside carb. Found secondary venturi is dripping fuel on the right side steadily and fuel is leaking out of the throttle body gasket on the driver's side. UGH!!! More work to do next week!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Today I replaced the 500 pound, diamond plate step bumper/tow device with an original bumper that I had rechromed. Looks a lot better IMHO.
