What did you do to your truck today!

[Rob H.]

Started the '72 up after it had sat for 6 months without moving. Moved it under it's own power to a differant location in the yard. Still don't have the brake lines done or carrier bearing changed, not having a garage and all the snow and rain we've had has really slowed down my progress!

[Heavy Evy]

Checked all my vitals and changed out the header gaskets at work today. One of these days im just going to get fed up and go back to rams horns. im tired of blowing header gaskets!!!

Hey Craig,
I am creating one for bucket seats with a B&M Shifter.
Yeah would be nice to see your art work also.
Thanks

bought some body filler (the better cheap crap from autozone) so i can start doing the body work on my replacement fender, bought a few more tools to and stuff to use to work on it with, bought some electrical stuff, bought my push starter button, drilled the mounting hole and installed it, just need to wire it up. i decided to go with the blue cover instead of the red or clear that it came with, i just wish it lit up, but oh well what do you expect for $30 . i also started doing some more wiring repair under the dash, should have done that when it was out because it would have been alot less hassle, oh well live and learn haha. i also added the headlight and wiper switch connectors back on (sorry no pics of that) as i decided to run the stock switches again.

Picked up the 1962 gmc long bed well at least what was left of it....

[RenoKeene]

While cleaning out the shop for my suspension swap I found this.....

[project 67 sub]

sweet, i say tear it apart and put a 67-72 truck body on it

[LeatherMan69]

Looked at it and shook my head in disapointment that its not farther along.

[RenoKeene]

Exactly what I was thinking. 102" wheelbase with a 9:1 358 Bush Cup motor in it running thru a jerico and 180 deg headers.

[DT1]

Found a big bubble in my paint the other day and when I pushed on it, it cracked. So much for a $4,000. paint job!
This weekend I decided to fix it since I had some of the paint left over.

Before...


After...

Ever have trouble keeping that camper hooked up to that , sorry couldn't resist

[mcmlxix]

Got some more parts for the shackle flip and 14BFF upgrade.... DIY4X and Ruff Stuff....

[project 67 sub]

got some more fittings and line for the rear bags, relocated the ignition switch to the inside of my center console, extended the wiring for the ignition and wired up the starter button. all wiring is done under dash for now except for the gauges which i can do from the front of the dash where the cluster goes.

[magwakeenercew2jh]

Installed the faux-radio (gutted a non-working stocker to fill the dash hole). Checked the door install I did yesterday. It'll need a little more "lining up". Jacked up the back two corners again to check the fit of the roll pan. Warmed up the welder for some roll pan bending/installing when it's a little warmer.

[justagoodolboy]

Did some wire tracing, found a problem and then got it started! Man I'm still pumped! it's about a year and 2 months since I last heard it run. It sounds a lot better to my ears now then it did then. Dunno why, guess it's all the hard sometimes frustrating work I put into it. I drove it a few feet inside the shop just to say I did. Now to find a tailgate and I'm ready for paint!

[stevencvn72]

Lowered the rear a couple more inches and installed my adjustable panhard bar kit. Finally had some NW weather that wasn't crap so I took it for a spin and some pictures. Yeah!

[ffk]

thinking about getting the 26 inches of snow off the truck..before the 40 - 60 mph winds ....the whole area is shut down..

[makman1297]

Installed my steering gearbox and primered the cab bottom.

[BadaSs_Cal]

Looked at her.. then before I got into the Honda I ran my hand accross her hood... Bringing her old head to the machine shop to have cleaned and fit to her new motor.

[wwotr]

Got my new Chrome Dome Light Base, Clear Diffusing Lens and Replacement LED Bulb.
Also picked up some Chrome Sun Visor Brackets and a set of Interior Door Handles, to take to the Upholsterer tomorrow. He'll wrap them in Leather and match them up to the rest of the Interior he's re-upholstering.
Cab goes into Primmer tomorrow and paint by next week.
Then we button it back up!
2 years in the making....I can hardly wait!

Congrats, wwotr.

Installed the "new" tilt column. Got sick spraying some primer under the bed and came home.

Thanks to ECE, and especially to my wife, for the tilt. Fit like a glove.
