Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Drove it. First time since it burned in early 08. Still a long way to go, but it felt good to drive it again. I will put up a link to the video when I get it loaded to Facebook.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I haven't done much, still taking parts off as opposed to putting them on. So I took pics. My plan is to pressure wash it this weekend.

Most people probably would have just got another cab, but since I wanted to learn how to repair rust we cut out rust and put on at least 12 repair pieces. I am lucky because my frame was cleaned by a PO who never finished the build. All I have to clean up is the front cradle and firewall.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I went out to the garage and looked at the rust damage on my '67 cab which is located under the cowl and just shook my head and left confused. This is nothing unusual for me since this is the first truck I have tried to fix with so much rust.
Decided what the heck, might as well go to my son's house and see how he was doing on restoring the '68 GMC swb fleet and to have the evening meal with them. When I got there he was just getting back from test driving the truck, it was not running right so I watched him adjust the carb. After eating we decided what the heck, might as well put the hood on since it was the last piece of the sheetmetal to go on after painting. I had never adjusted one myself so I learned it takes time, patience and a lot of adjusting if you have taken a truck all the way apart and painted each piece individually.
