Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got a parts truck or future build for my 6 year old daughter. My wife won't be happy when she gets home (I told her I was buying a frame).

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I'm running baby! Just gotta bleed the brakes to help the mushy pedal. I haven't driven my truck since last July. Next weekend is my 13th wedding anniversary,and my wife I went on our honeymoon in my truck! It will be cool as usual to be out and bout on our anniversary in the truck.
It was good to just sit there and listen to the cam thump and bump! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Pulled the rear end out of a 69 LWB at the local pick n pull yard to replace the rear end in my 66 LWB that is about to go. Now praying this new rear end, I mean used, doesn't howl like the old one.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I used the Juliano's three point retractable along with their attachment kit. It worked pretty good but the instructions were vague with very little details. The drivers side attached to the flat part of the floor on the drivers side. On the passengers side I had to "Open Up" the angle so it would fit the angle of the floor. This allowed the retractable end to mount vertically as it did on the driver"s side.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got the face for my tach, it was a little big, but I was able to trim it. I think it turned out pretty good considering how little I've spent on these.
 I have a few clocks in mind, might go looking this weekend. Would like to get this all done and back in the cab.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I had rebuilt a small scooter with a BIG BORE kit and kept the old parts. I ran across the 50cc piston the other day and thought it would be cool as a suicide knob. The "tractor" knob was in two halfs. I removed the top and shaved down the bottom till it fit inside the piston. There is a small ridge inside the bottom of the piston. I used JB Quik to bond them together.
Here it is.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
That gauge cluster looks great.
What gauges did you use? I have a GMC and the cluser is different but I would switch it out if it looked as good as yours.
