What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

[Towbiz]

Stripped down my newly acquired Buddy seat , sending frame out to powder coating & researching new foam & upholstery kit . Removed grill to have it polished .

[In The Ten Ring]

I received my new KKS radiator today. I inspected it out of the box and it looks very nice.

I'll try and test fit it into the core support tomorrow.

I went from a 12 inch oval air cleaner to a 14 inch round, 3 inch high... I like having more of the carburetor covered, and the smaller one looked a little too small.

What brand name are your valve covers, and breather lid? They look great! I wonder if the valve overs come in a tall version? I have roller rockers and standard ones won't clear.
Beautiful engine bay.

I bought them at the Portland swap meet one spring. Unfortunately, I do not know the brand, but I see so many on Ebay as nostalgia style? That is also where I found the air cleaner. I just did a seach on Ebay for finned valve covers and air cleaner and found several. There was also a set on the first page advertised as tall. Thank you!

Where did you get the adjusting alternator arm/bracket? It just looks cooler than the factory style bracket.

[OregonNed]

If I remember right - from summit - along with the triangular shaped mount on the bottom. Agreed - wasn't thrilled with the black bracket covering the top. The alternator was a replacement (Power Master) because the other was faulty when I purchased the truck. The brand was March, I believe.

[matthamby]

Thanks! I found the March ones, Summit also had their own, much cheaper, I wonder how the quality is?

[sKnNyPpY]

Got my Trim Parts black carpet in and new sill plates...nice fit, just needed to trim the back by the tank.

[Bone Stock]

Sweet look and a quick cleanup. Nice!

[Bone Stock]

I sought new wheel cylinders- the three letter company sent ill-fitting versions... Nobody believes that I have leafs on my 67 127" 3/4 T 2wd BB V6 305.

[tbrogdon]

I installed my new HID lights with halo's.

[matthamby]

those look great! where did you get them, what brand, how much?

[tbrogdon]

Thank you, I picked them up from Octane Lighting for $218 shipped.

[Andy4639]

Small mod but makes it much easier to plug in the trickle charger. I don't drive it as much as I did and the new alarm and remote start have a small drain on the battery all the time so after sitting a week are so the battery is dead.

[OregonNed]

Last night I added a new turn signal lever.

[In The Ten Ring]

I worked on the truck all day! Intense effort.

I put my locking gas cap back on, picked up a quart of POR 15 substitute (forgot the name of it), and ran that over to the painter.

[100%Chevy]

Washed the old 68.
Checked all the fluids
Checked the air in all the tires.
Re-set the radio to rock and roll.Cassettes in the console!
Made sure the A/C still works!
Went and filled up with alcohol free gas.
Going crusing tomorrow.
CTC-Goula Cruise here in Pascagoula,Ms.!
Mike.

[GR8-68]

Fitted the repair panels and the passenger side door.

[jescates]

Rebuilt a rag joint! Made a world of difference!

[rustytruck50]

Got a new master cylinder and wheel cylinder installed and took the dog for a ride...we lost his brother a week ago and thought a ride would do him good.

[mud.man.rj]

I drove it to the gym,the market garden and grocery store plus a coffee run all with my daughter, was awesome to hang out with her. Great day.

[ekgguy]

Loosely bolted it all back together with the NEW-TO-ME parts I have been accumulating over the last year to make sure everything fit.





Then blew it all back apart to finish a couple of rust repairs on the fenders and paint the inside of the cab.

[IronmanC10]

I bought my truck from my stepfather who bought it from a stranger on a handshake. So, what did I do to my truck today? I sent a nicely worded letter to the registered owner asking that they work with me to transfer the truck. I hope they don't have sellers remorse after 10 years !!

I have read some wild things on here, but I think that takes the cake.
