What did you get done Labor Day 2011 edition - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**old Rusty C10** · 09-05-2011, 06:59 PM

well i finally made it upstate and picked up the gas door i had bought that was sent there and today i replaced the left gas door on my truck.. still looking for a suitable donor seat but the junkyard was closed this weekend..
How about you all?

81 C10AZ · 09-05-2011, 07:10 PM

Cleaned the interior! Still dirty, but cleaner than yesterday!

SCOTI · 09-05-2011, 07:11 PM

Not as much as I wanted. I finished up my trans x-member for the dually. Now there's room to run the exhaust within the frame rails vs. under them. I was hoping to get the motor painted but the cooler weather around here was courtesy of the wind which stirs up a lot of dirt/dust & is not good for a bare motor.

Maybe some color later in the week....

BIG V · 09-05-2011, 07:26 PM

I thought about working on it.......... so i went out and moved the bumper to the front and thats about it

S10Fan · 09-05-2011, 07:36 PM

Finally built and installed some front shock mounts (and shocks) on the bagged S-10 chassis my 50 pickup body is resting on. Test ride was awesome, now I can drive it with one hand. LOL.

Next up is an all over coat of black primer and a shop name on the doors, done!

*RUSHNBOBO* · 09-05-2011, 07:49 PM

Got the restored C/30 Bowtie emblems on late last night and made it red--eye to the Capitol City Cruisers show in Sacramento Ca ..this morn.

That's a darn good looking truck!

**Palf70Step** · 09-05-2011, 08:28 PM

Got the wiring in Hoopty squared away. Took the ole girl out for a spin to test out the new tranny. It was nice to see Jr. move again.

craazy22 · 09-05-2011, 09:18 PM

Well, bought me another sand blaster from hf and started to blast the bed rails from the stepside. Got to spray primer on the left stepside and the tailgate... At this rate i think I'll be happy to say I might finish body work in 2020....lol

Finally pulled the trigger on an NOS 350 emblem for my 73-74 grill. Now all I need is some time to finish the project.

jdheff1982 · 09-05-2011, 09:39 PM

I replaced the PS Pump, watched the belt chew thru the high pressure line and spray PS fluid all over the place, installed a new high pressure line, and called it a day.

partsstoreguy · 09-05-2011, 10:22 PM

finally found a good doner cab for my 73. more pics to come

383Chevy · 09-05-2011, 10:49 PM

Motor mounts done

67_SS396 · 09-05-2011, 11:02 PM

I finally got to go crawling for the first time since I broke my leg Memorial weekend. I only drove a couple climbs and road shotgun in my rig with a buddy driving. It was the best time I've had all summer.

Went mudding, cracked my windshield, slightly crushed top steering stabilizer, bent front part of front fenders up and got to use a new powerwasher my brother got free from the powerplant and it got my truck clean in a short... 3 days

jitteryguy · 09-05-2011, 11:55 PM

got my order from LMC !

asphaltburner · 09-06-2011, 12:33 AM

My truck finally rested while I completed bathtub installation, plumbing, and sewer connection in the addition to my house that I've been working on for months. The truck has been working hard, and constantly, since demolition in early April. See the thread:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...17#post4884017
The tub came out perfectly, and FRANKENTRUCK enjoyed a day in the pasture.
Back at it tomorrow,
Todd.
P.S. Hope to be back at helping on the forum in a couple more months when construction is completed,...it's kept me kinda busy as G.C., plumber, and electrician! Along with the usual stuff.

Fixwhataintbroke · 09-06-2011, 01:51 AM

Installed auxiliary lights under the rear bumper. Flip one switch and aux. lights turn on, turn switch off and put in reverse, backup and aux lights turn on. Pics upon request.

juiceman650 · 09-06-2011, 02:37 AM

Installed a fresh K&N air filter on mine, and added the "Do NOT Discard" sticker, and bought some fender badges from KrazyRay.

75ChevyGuy · 09-06-2011, 08:21 AM

Got the front half of my truck spray bombed and the D/S floor put in. Hopefully soon it'll start looking like a real truck!

THE "10" SILVERADO · 09-06-2011, 09:04 AM
