Waiting on some patch panels to come in, so I decided to play with the color of my wheels.

Let me be the first to say Welcome and colour absolutely approved.

I like it a whole lot in that combo.

Not that bad, just using a rebuild gasket kit.

Sandblasted to bare metal, primed with rust stop primer and then rust stop gloss black. Can't wait to get the rest finished up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Received my new Heater Core, none of the regular truck shops had them in stock. I found out that Rock Auto stocked them and I was able to get one for $60.79 with priority mail shipping the total was only $67.04, which is at least $40.00 cheaper than the various truck supply houses.

I have the large Deluxe heater core with the defrost system in my '60 GMC. The Rock Auto part number is 9010099. A really neat thing that Rock Auto does is show the measurements so you know you are ordered the correct one.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Spent some time cleaning of my junkyard find. The towel was white when I started. Engine de-greaser and a nylon brush seemed to do a fine job of getting that years of hand germs off of it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Pulled my valve cover and found a loose rocker (thankfully). Fixed that, and the engine is quiet like it should be. Set timing and idle. Put in fresh Rotella with a dose of ZDDP additive, and an oversized oil filter. Greased the front end. Enjoyed my now nice-driving truck that is finally running well, and has a lot more power than when I started.

Welded the angle strips onto the bed sides. Lots of effort to be sure they are in the right place.
