Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
The last project that I tackled as we were packing the camping stuff (yes wife was pissed that she was packing mostly by herself) was the behind the seat storage. A member (Freecandyinside) had posted this a while back. I thought it was an awesome idea since I had installed a 30 gallon Blazer tank in the rear when I went to fuel injection... The old tank works great as a storage and it saves an otherwise good condition tank from the wrecker. Its also custom contoured to the cab. Just like the storage that the late model trucks get
 .And yes, all of that crap was with under the seats or behind. I thought I had lost half of the stuff in the storage. Turned out it was just completely disorganized. Now the under seat is completely clear!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I got tired of the exhaust hanging down so far under the truck so I routed the pipes thru the frame . These pipes were bought 30 years ago from JC Whitney , back before the Internet and before you could buy stuff actually designed for these trucks . They had zero miles on them , had been painted with hi temp paint when they were originally installed so they were still in good shape . Cutting , grinding , beating and banging and everything seems to finally fit . After this a Tig welder is on my wish list .

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Ditched my low quality aluminum valve covers with their crappy homemade baffles for some nice stamped steel "tall boys". They actually have an OEM style baffle.
I think they suit my motor better anyhow. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Finally got my headliner reinstalled. It started falling down about a year ago because the glue on the back of the velcro lost it adhesiveness in the heat. I got a velcro with a strong glue.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I think photos get turned sideways when I post them from my phone. If I post them from my computer they end up correct.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Thanks. The upholsterer that did my interior made it. It is a soft heat shielding that is usually used under the carpet, covered in pleated cloth with a Velcro backing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I don’t think that it deadens the sound much but it might. I have so much bondo in the roof that I don’t have much vibration from that area. I did it more for heat than sound. The sealing is hot to the touch in the summertime without it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Finished the initial fab & welding for my coil-over conversion brackets. They just require cosmetic focus now & will get some color.

A few minor updates. Successfully relocated the gas filler in the under bed tank after changing out the bed. Rewired the parking lights to stay on when headlights are on. But I plan to change to a different style LED that looks more original. Added LED brake lights Add a LED dome light. Not sure if it was a good idea because it shows how bad the interior looks.
