Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
I drove to San Jose (50 miles each way) and calibrated my speedo at the same time. At 70 MPH I tach 2000 and at 80 I tach 2250 rpm.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Well I spent a couple of hours stripping the paint of my front grill, only to find a pretty good ally one under all that paint . I will have to dress up a couple of the dents that have just been filled instead of being repaired
As my grill was  After 2 hours of stripping the paint off  Will try and spend another couple of hours on it tomorrow |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Well, i pulled the trigger and installed Vintage Air on my 65. Here are the only pictures i have for now. Those kits are a breeze to put in, but of coarse there was unexpected expenses but thats part of the territory when working on old trucks. I live in Arizona and it has been the best investment i have ever made!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Work has been very busy still but I decided I just need to get work done on my Jimmy. So Tues thru today I spent at least an hour working on it. The fiberglass work is done, the seat and in cab tank are out. Pulled the front wheels and prepped the wheelwells for undercoating. The hood is off and treated with Jasco and its ready for undercoat just like the roof and cab interior. I just need to mask off everything shoot it wait a couple days then paint over it in black. By Friday all of that will be done [next Friday] and then the remainder of the blocking the outside for pearls and candy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
modified my fleetside racks to fit the stepside... apparently the stake pockets are in different spots, so I flipped them over and carved some new sticks for the pockets.. now I just flip them over: 1 side fleet, 1 side step....
gonna get a big load of brush in it now...

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
got an antique 1965 plate and get it registered to the truck after sending it away to DMV about a month ago it finally showed up in the mail so I installed the lighted bracket and the new plate. The bracket stiffens the rear bumper even more than it was which is pretty cool too.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Very nice looking truck!
Isn't that also (almost?) exactly the same as the truck that they used in that stupid vampire movie? |
