Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Was helping my Aunt clean out her garage when my wife said "hey this looks like it came off your truck" Sure enough it was the piece of missing trim from the drivers side quarter panel on my 67!
That's the good news...the bad news is I came home with a lot of junk from that garage  Albeit really old, really cool junk. Such as a 3' Prestone Antifreeze wall thermometer, Craftsman tool box, vintage tools, antique wooden ice box refrigerator, fishing rods and some chairs my great grandfather restored including a high chair my great-great-great grandfather sat in as a baby!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Hey guys new member here thought this would bee a good place for a first post. Did not do anything today on my 1970 3/4 ton dually i'm trying to restore but took all last week off and managed to replace both floor pans,inner/outer rockers,both cab corners,rebuild lower pass side a-piller, and por-15 the firewall and under the floors. Got alot done but wish i had time to stay with it. Not a body guy more mechanical so i can't wait to see how it truns out ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Why is everyone getting such crappy mpg's? Is it the carb settings? I just have a 2 brl. Rochester on my 350, but I'm getting at least 15.......

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Just seems so weird on the mileage, I get at least 10mpg and 8 on a bad throttle day with hills like Sanfransisco here and have a min of 480hp 454 with big 38.5" tires (heavy) in a 4x4 so still don't get it. Plus I don't putter around but drive it. Tune up is spot on always though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed a B&M Megashifter.
The cab still needs the Stick shift hole sealed, Dynamat, Padding, and carpet.  Posted via Mobile Device

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I run a sm465 also in my gas pig, the Megashifter looks killer, sits up just nice, not to low or high, good choice, does take up a bit of the the box part though doesn't it, how does it work for you.
