Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I pulled the carb off my truck to sell. And I was going to pull the gears out of the rear end to trade.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Received new trailing arm bushings today. Got the garage cleaned up ready for another project. Think I'll probably wait a bit before tearing it apart though, not too crazy about working on it when the ambient is 24 and the garage is 42 degrees.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I've been trying to get things done on my project 64 but feel as if I'm getting no where fast..... So, today I decided my task would be to make lists of items needed to be done (hey, if it helps get it done, it counts right?
![]() I organized the tasks into groups & I'm going to try & use the list like 'assignments' to complete each week. I thought maybe sharing the list might help my motivation even more: Rolling Chassis I need to.... Get the gas tank 'fill' piping determined & routed DONE Finish my upper rear shock mounts DONE Determine rear bumper bracket placement Finalize bed floor mounting (switching to steel floor & raising @ the same time)DONE Finish machining my truck-arm spacersDONE Make rear bag hats to install the bagsDONE Get the tranny x-member mounted Determine exhaust routingDONE Paint/powder-coat the frame, x-members, cab mounts, & various brackets Route fuel lines Route brake lines Route air lines Mount air tanks & compressors Purchase rear wheels DONE Purchase rear tires DONE Purchase shocks DONE Drivetrain Repaint the motor (different 'theme' warrants a different color) Paint the tranny Mount the accessories (already got them powder-coated and/or detailed) Mount radiator Mount electric fan Wire fans & headlight relays Re-wire for internal alternator (hi-amp conversion) Mount brake assembly (vac booster/master cyl, & firewall adapter bracket) Mount trans cooler Interior Clean/scrub cab interior Install high-hump trans tunnel cover Install sound/heat insulation Remove 'cassette' style radio for delete plate R&R manual column for van auto tilt Remove clutch pedal Purchase carpet & install Mount seat (already re-covered) Route air-lines from controller to tanks/bags R&R front windshield R&R dash cluster from 'lights' to analog gauges And finally, my list for this week.... Set the steel floor in place to finalize my fuel fill routing planned for Sunday.... DONE Finish fitting my fabricated upper shock plates to the shock x-member DONE Trim the PB dropped truck arm Panhard bar bracket DONE I finished this before cutting the shock x-member c-sections

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Nada...with the temps below zero and a foot of snow on the ground, my "get up and go has got up and went". May the sun return soon and the snow melt away.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I just got the rear. I paid 100 for both. They are Air-Lift 2600's. I'm not too sure how much a whole set up will be. I have access to most of the stuff. Air tank, lines, fittings etc. plus I built everything. But I'll have to buy a compressor and some solonoids. In Street Trucks the company Airbaggit has some pretty sweet kits that seem like pretty good deals. If I was to estemate it I would guess around 1500??

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Or you could just build your own kit and pay a whole lot less and end up with something to be proud of. I've only bought the poly bushings, bags and a bag of bolts.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I wasn't being specific about using a 'kit'. I just know guys have had issue w/that company (AIM, aka Chassis Tech, airbagit.com, etc...).

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
hooked up my voltage regulator today, Also wired up a gas guage that is not work right and a voltage guage. Looks like I have some trouble shooting to do. I was going to bleed my brakes but, that is going to have to wait a week. After the brakes, the bed is going to come off and I am going to start cleaning and painting. Then I am gonna take a coil off the front and remove a few leafs in the back. I will try and get some pictures up soon.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Cut a quarter of my bed off with a hacksaw,sounds stupid but I rent the garage and it has no electricity. Note that my bed is 3/8 diamond plate so clean cuts really don't matter to me, I'm just scrapping the bed anyway. Pulled the wiring, cut the rusty exhaust off, moved the extra block and heads to the engine stand, drained some of the coolant, took the hood hinges off to be cleaned and painted, knocked some rust and dried mud out of the frame and off of the rear suspension and cleaned up the rest of my crap laying around.
I forgot to take pictures of it but my frame looks like it was cut off with an air chisel. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Commuted the last 2 days to work in the 64 without a hitch or a worry.
50 mi each way- this thing starts, handles, runs better than the 66 which is getting tired out.

It looks like the tail gate may be tweaked, I guess you could tweak it back but not sure of how to do it. Maybe someone knows the procedure out there.Body guys?? Vernski ![]() |
