It sounds busier than I've been...on the truck. That poor thing sat with a tarp over it for a month or two. I did forget to mention my friend just bought an all original Dark Blue w/white top '72 Cheyenne Super/20 Custom Camper with a wood floor that needs replaced. Last week we got some yellow pine that I made up into bed wood stock. Yesterday I was at his house (where we put the rear window in my truck) and I belt sanded the wood,then stained it using thinned out matching paint. We're not painting anything and re-using the bed strips,so we wanted it to look like old paint on the wood. He's cleaning up the frame and axles,etc under the bed (we removed that) and painting that. Then,it can go back together. I can't wait to see how the wood looks (and if it fits :lol)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Since the head was already removed, it didn't take long to get the engine ready for removal. Good Bye 250...Hello 350!!! Thanks to Tim at the "Buford Street Garage" !!! He's the man helping make this dream become a reality! Tomorrow we are taking a trip to the car wash for an engine compartment clean up. Picking up the 350 Sunday. I hope to be driving it soon!!! It's only been about 25 years ago that I last went for a spin in "Blue Baby" !!!
