Nutin' have to work this weekend, curse of the self employed. Major parts infusion coming in about two weeks, then balls to the wall for summer finish, at least in primer.

[CTZR1]

I took these pictures, and I think I may have ordered some parts. I'll let you know if they come in and they are the right ones

[dubie]

I got the cab mounted, doors hung, brake system is ready for bleeding, sorted all my wires for the new harness and undercoated the front wheel wells

[Clarance J]

Last week took out the center pumpkin to have the pinion seal replaced.
Today I cleaned it up, primered it. Rustoleum of course. Already for paint.

[apache200]

Started cleaning up the brackets on my rearend. hopefully will get it finished up tomorrow

[Dan in Pasadena]

I got THIS chrome grill from a member here. I managed to get this, the front upper & lower panels & bumper back on.



I'm re- IN LOVE! ha ha. I can't help myself, I like chrome.

[Chevette]

Looks real good, Dan.

[Dan in Pasadena]

Thanks Chevette.

Bit-by-bit, bit-by-bit man....but not tomorrow. Tomorrow I'm going to the Dodgers game with my 90 year old mother in law. Cracks me up that she's game to go at her age.

took the bed apart. Now to fix it and put it back together.
Site wont let me upload pictures for some reason

[tttuba]

ok think I figured out the picture issue.

[NEWFISHER]

Adjusted the carb and drove the heck out of it. I've been camping at the Raceway for the Portland Swap Meet for 4 days and had the urge to put some miles on it!

New battery, and started sanding/priming the bed

[Clarance J]

Painted the pumpkin today. Also cleaned out a spot for the housing I'll be taking out tomorrow to paint.

After a bunch of setbacks - i finally was able to re- take my heads to a different machine shop. first one went out of business.
With only 27;000 miles on the engine - heads were pretty shot - now i will pull the engine out again and go thru it . i have no idea what happened - if the heads were that bad i want to refresh the engine - -all i want to do is drive it - i dont think i am asking for too much.............

Drive it? What? Who does that? These things are just for wrenchin' on aren't they?

[Daze57]

[dubie]

I started hanging some body panels back on the frame. Then cut the inner fenders on the back for a tub

[NEWFISHER]

Guys (and D'ne) all your trucks are comming along great.
Dubie, love the tub and the black inner border inside the shop is killer.

Not mine! I've done the derelict-in-the driveway deal and it sucked. I don't have room for it anyway in this house. So I intend to get it exactly where I want it mechanically and even cosmetically with the exception of paint.

After I retire I plan to blow it all apart for REAL paint. In the meantime I don't plan to do any single improvement that will keep it un-drivable for longer than a couple weeks at most.

[dubie]

THat black border is just spruce 1 x 4 painted black with Tremclad water based paint and a brush. Then we air nailed it all up. The tub was a result of sizing the tires down from a 275 to a 255 and them still not fitting. I forgot that this axle is almost 2" shorter than the stock truck axle which in turn causes the ties to be closer inwards. So my son and I took a few different measurements, marked the tub and cut it. I'm hoping I can have it all fabbed and installed this week, but finishing the wiring is priority 1 this week

[oneoff]

After a few setbacks, got the alternator bracket in and mounted. Put in the dash cluster and dash pad. The Ron Davis radiator was shipped today, so next week this baby should be ready to fire up. Oh' and after the third set of exhaust manifolds as well.....LOL

[Clarance J]

Today, since the diff was out I took the housing out to repaint it and since the shocks needed to be disconnected I pulled out the upper shock mount to give it a coat of paint also.

[jdougla9]

spent a lot of money on new wheels and tires... 15x10 and 15x4 billet specialties streetlies with the black anadized finish and 275 mickeys too!
