Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I finally got the old engine painted and started to put it back together. Also got my seats done. Waiting for better weather to install them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got the wheel bearing fixed yesterday, after many trips to various parts stores. Today, took my daughter out for a little manual transmission driving lesson. I think she did better than I did when I was learning 30 years ago.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Yeah, CRGRS66, it was awesome.
 Especially since she is 19 and my last one at home and is moving to PA in May. She's been working and saving her butt off to save for the move and getting set up to start college. Really proud of her, and all my kids. They are doing well, but I am not sure I am ready for an empty nest. Big house is gonna be lonely.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Picked up a set of open box valve covers today. They aren't staying chrome though.
$10 I have to get exhaust manifolds, plug wires and plugs and the engine is done. Steven

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Be pulling the cluster after work. Truck went to turn over 75999 on the odometer and stuck last night. I have a spare speedometer, but hoping the original just needs lubed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
started putting some of the metal back on.... Just a trial fit.. Took it all back off so that I could finish the welds and smooth everything out a little better.. Dash will go back on this week and hopefully I can have the whole driver's side done this weel.. (fingers x'd..)I'm pretty dang happy with how this all came out..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Rewired the dash cam to draw power from the old electric clock circuit coming from the hot side of the battery disconnect. Now I can electrically shut down the entire truck and with the flip of a switch still leave the camera running, for example when left unattended in a parking lot.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
63mouse,
What color and brand of paint did you use? It'll look really good after a cut and buff. Nice job! Steven

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I picked up my new to me rear end in my trailer. Then when we (wife and I) got home we had to unload it & put it up on saw horses!
My wife said (after we got it out and on the horses) & I quote "This is not $ucking woman's work". It was really heavy and it was all she could do to get it out of the trailer and just hold it! She is a great woman for always helping me even when it hurts her! It was really to heavy for her to be lifting but she is a trooper and did it anyway! Posted via Mobile Device

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
When you are doing the rear end double check your ride hieght against drive shaft clearance. I ran a 3 inch aluminum one piece shaft with the new 9 inch moser I installed . I had to grind some on the hoop in the frame. No big deal more than enough room though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Finally a good enough day to get the spare tire fender primed and painted. Now to get the fender one and the holder on and it will be good to go.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I followed PoDuck's write-up and parts list (#62 Brake Question), and replaced the brakes on my '60. My 'after' pics looked just like his, so no sense posting them. I will show y'all the bucket-O-parts and the 'NICE' surprises I found as far as cracked shoes and hoses.
 I replaced everything but the Master Cylinder - flexible lines, shoes, drums, hardware, wheel cylinders. I suppose the MC will go out now. Gravity bled the system and test drive went well. Yay! |
