What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II - Page 258 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I cleaned my for a cruise night.

rjs53 · 03-10-2018, 11:49 PM

I started on my C notch’s. Got them layed out and the cuts made before it started raining. Took more time getting the rusty bolts and rivers out than anything else. But it’s still fun.

Lol emergency can until I fix my fuel guage. It's empty!

KQQL IT · 03-11-2018, 12:36 PM

New lenses all around.
Then spent the rest of the day on my '73.
2 projects 3 times the headaches.

Coley · 03-11-2018, 12:47 PM

PAINT ALERT!!!....lol

Seriously, I am excited as hell because I took my truck in for some paint yesterday.
I stripped all the molding off (big job), the front bumper, mirrors, etc, etc and got it largely prepped for the operation.
I'm not after the super, laser, show, ultimate paint job stuff....simply not practical and not my style.
I'm after a quality paint job that compliments the truck.
So hopefully in about 3-6 weeks I'll have it back and can start the long road back to putting the moldings all back on it, lol...which will be no easy feat.

I will post up some pre-paint pics a little later....with the moldings pulled, etc.

DAMN....I'm excited.

I installed a overflow. Out of a 98 Camry. Worked out great and compact!

66clow · 03-12-2018, 08:42 PM

Installed my hidden hitch this weekend and built this $2 fold down tag today lol. Why do the photos do this?

stevenfromtexas · 03-12-2018, 08:42 PM

Past few days I have finished the brake lines (no thanks to inlinetube)
Slid new d44 underneath and installed the new u bolts and mounted the steering box

So close yet so far to go

What happened with inlinetube? I'm debating on pickup up a set of pre-bent en lieu of making my own due to time constraints

**Mts67C10K20** · 03-15-2018, 11:19 AM

The lines they sent for the porportioning valve to frame just were wrong
Everything else fit fine but they would not do anything to make it right

I have installed 2 other sets on different vehicles with no problem
So good luck

Trying to add link with more detail of problem

Power steering pump bracket templates made now to make steel ones.

**RodnRudy** · 03-15-2018, 06:59 PM

Sloooowly getting the engine ready to re fire after the new crank install. I bought some new bling to get me motivated. Hope to have the old girl running by next mid week.

iriereggaeman · 03-17-2018, 09:36 PM

I had a buddy whip me up some rear AC brackets to repair the vents. Painted 'em, and slipped them in. Looks almost new, and ready for the coming FL summer.
