Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I haven't posted in a while, but I've been doing a lot with the old 67 over the past month. Finally got my carpet, kickpanels, seat recovered, new seat belts, new chrome/black dash bezel, new glove box emblem, new dome/interior light, dash pad, pedals with the chrome outlines, and painted the interior too! Today I took her in and had the guys at the shop replace anything suspension related under the front end and got the idler arm, lower ball joint, and front shocks replaced. Finished up with an alignment after that and I'm out for a while again! Can't wait to get some pics up of the before and after and get started on the exhaust and then the paint and exterior.

So, I painted the front panel and carpeted the sides with some kick-panel carpet I had left over. The nav system I put in with P-Shop. The real system is coming on Saturday.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Drove it in to work tonight for the first time in over a month. Truck has been sitting in the garage since I got home from Myrtle beach car show with the dash out of it to send the gas gauge off to be fixed.
Got it back together today before coming to work. It all worked and the gas gauge seems to be working fine. I gave it a quick bath and took these with my Iphone.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Put some new tires on the front. It is amazing how much difference that makes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Took out the fuel tank, windshield & rear window in prep for a cab swap. All that's left is pulling the doors & heater assembly.
Oh, and actually buying a cab... |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Picked up my truck from the A/C shop after having a Vintage Air system installed. Currently suffering from buyer remorse. May last till the first hot Texas day. Sure cleaned up the engine compartment.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Today I will be getting my shop a little closer to being ready to start a total teardown and rebuild of my 69. Have owned this truck for 36 years, and after it's last official work day last fall, will now start drawing social security.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Today I went out to check a lead on a couple of trucks. After talking to the guy at the shop, I maniged to grab a pair of 69 fenders and hood for $60. I really needed the right front fender because mine was damaged when the P/O put her in a ditch. The hood is better then mine also, so I may use it. I came home to get my truck to go get the parts only to find out my starter is shot.....again. I borrow Mom's dodge and went and picked up my parts. Looks like I have to drive the Z28 to work and change starter tomorrow.
