Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I had to pursuade a few rusty bolts out!! The rubber mallet was no match for the core support bolts. I had the axe with a flat end and gave the bolts a few hard wacks before they broke loose.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
replaced the big over sized mirrors with the stock mirror.
replaced the old gas cap with a new locking gas cap that is correct for 65. removed the plywood to reveal the original wood bed. painted the bumper and light bezels to get a better idea what it will look like when i get the chromed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
continued the pre-assembly. We have done all the measurements, except for the distributor and oil-pickup tubes; we're procrastinating on those, but everything else is good to go.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
After searching high and low, I finally found the rubber I want for my back end, 295/50R/15 BFG Radial T/A's, ordered them, between shipping from Georgia to Buffalo, then through my company's customs broker, should have them end of next week.
