What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

[special-K]

Having fun with this new to me old truck cap. I have the tangerine tint on it's way and I also have this 50 state set of travel stickers coming

[Artofdeath]

Took advantage of the nice weather today and pulled the bed off the frame. Need to weld new mount perches on then I am going to pressure wash and rust proof the frame. Fun stuff!

Rolled the beast out today for the first time this year. The wife came out and said instead of standing there looking at that money pit go to the nurseries and get the trees we need. So first day hauling trees. All men need a truck if they are married!!!!! Have a good one eh!

I agree that's why I have 2 trucks one for the winter and one for summer. Got all the pieces cut for the tranny mount with my CNC plasma grinder. I made some cut outs for debris to be washed out.

That’s going to be awesome. Where did you get the stickers from?

[1968 baby blue C10]

Gave her a wax today. Maybe the first time the truck has ever been waxed haha

Today I cleaned up a couple of wheel cylinders using a vintage AAMCO brake honing set I inherited from my Dad.

[cornerstone]

Pate swap meet was good to me. New set of wheels and a truckload of other goodies! This guy had the right idea, a MOTORIZED RECLINER!! I MUST make one of these, and of course a trailer to haul parts with for the next swap meet of I’m lucky enough to go. Also don’t forget the sunscreen next year, I’m fairy roasted. Sorry about the last pic, I forgot to tilt my phone what I snapped it and don’t know how to fix it.

That recliner is cool, but I bet it gets hot in the sun.

That wheel is awesome. Is it smaller than factory?

Thanks. It is a bit smaller. I think the original wheels were 17" this one is 15".

It sure is.

[tdangle]

That is the same one I have also. Mine came from Summit

[custom10nut]

Put my new "Factory Tach" in that I've had for six months. Next up is rewiring the stereo, new carpet. Then put in the new bed wood and paint.

[Andy4639]

Got the logo painted. Waiting for a few weeks then sand it to match the truck.

[Mts67C10K20]

Installed my new / old stainless mirrors
Replacing the white ones
Now the trim all matches

[thedudeabides86]

Working on replacing the dash pad and cleaning up 46 year old dust from the gauge cluster.

my 71 K20 Burb has factory sport mirrors, no other holes found in the door..

right side mirror head was broke off when I bought it and it's a little tough parking squarely on the curb without it..

so I bought the LMC pair with built in fisheyes, cool right?

so after drilling screws to remove the door panel [saved every thread in the door btw ]

chasing threads and lubing everything, I installed the mirror with three arms, yep, that's about how it went..

and now I can't see a damn thing next to the truck with it, from the driver's seat anyways

mirror head binds into the arm no matter which way I turn it

well, it is a 'passenger' mirror so I guess it's for passengers to see behind the truck

useless as a screen door on a submarine..

door and window hardware however are all working smoothly now

I discovered this issue with my '72 C20 and it drives me nuts. I just have gotten used to turning around and craning my neck to look out the rear window when I'm backing or when I changes lanes now.
