Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I had installed a Lokar floor mount pedal and cable system along with the Holley 390 and set the pull at the carb end on the taller hole (away from the throttle shaft). This meant only 1/2 throttle, but it was a new motor and even though I have been flogging it, driving it everyday and long road tripping with it, I wanted to break the motor in right without full throttle pulls. Well, tonight I readjusted the pedal, cable and set the pull closest to the shaft. Fired it up, adjusted the idle and headed out for a test drive. WOW, the buzzen half dozen has come to life. My fuel bill is going to hate me!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I have been thrashing on finishing up my interior. This is my first real attempt at a full interior and I have surprised myself on how it is turning out. I also got my seats back from getting recovered. They were tan. I still have to paint out the plastic trim on the seats. I have a lot of pics but I will spare you all of the progress shots. The goal is to have a full blown interior that looks decent without spending a ton of cash.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
That looks real nice, youngrodder. And the seat is great. I like the low back too.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Nothing ON my truck but did search Craigslist for trucks/vans/SUV's being parted out looking for black or dark grey retractable 3 pt. seat belts. I found a few but either they were too far away or were (apparently) made of unobtainium!
I've got a pair of dark grey out of an '07 Chevy Venture lined up to remove myself for $40 in dark grey tomorrow. We'll see if it pans out. |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Youngrodder your seat looks great. Real leather?
What is it out of and is that the base it will be mounted to in your truck? Maybe I've missed it in your thread but did you build the bases yourself and will you have forward & back adjustability? |

The seats are out of a mid 90's Nissan Ultima. I built the mounts and yes they retain all of the adjustment. You and see in the photo the handle to adjust the seat forward and back is just below the seat bottom. I also body worked the tan covers to remove holes for seats belts and other crap. Once painted black they should blend in nicely. Marc

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Well they look great. I think they look like real leather. I saw your photo on my phone which is why I didn't notice the repaired holes in the base covers. Wonderful job on EVERYthing you do on your truck!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I had to take a couple nights off of mine. After thrashing away on it for almost an entire week, I was burning out. We're going to get it all wired up this weekend and install the fuel tank and run the fuel line

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Just back from a one month vacation in the truck. Travelled a couple of thousand miles, took in two drag meetings and two hot rod events, so four great weekends in a row.
So today I did the list of improvements that the truck needs this winter: replace Mitsubishi van rear seat with rear from BMW so I can keep the bench, but hopefully with some comfort speaker location for stereo as behind the seats isnt working reduce in cab noise replace trans cross member to eliminate vibration wire up for trailer (have towbar fited already) Fit alarm and keyless entry And that lot should keep me busy for our winter which starts very shortly. |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
We did sound deadener in the cab and started on the wiring process over the weekend. The light switch, ignition switch, fan and radio are all hooked up. All that's left in the cab to hook up is the fuel sender and gauges. Then we'll turn our attention to the engine bay and get the engine and lights wired up

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I GOT MY TRUCK TO FIRE!!
It was more like a couple farts while using starting fluid. But at least i know that there is spark, and it can run. On to the fuel lines. |
