What did you do to your truck today!

[sjarrett71]

Drove it to work about 11 miles. Longest trip since the tranny swap and it did great!

[DesertCat]

All I've ever done for it... bought parts :-p

Have yet to actually see it in person...

Drove to Lowes for stuff in the addition. Since the T10 got installed, Been a blast to drive. However, next move might need to be a power steering setup!

[69trk]

put some rally wheels/spinners on the truck today...

[Rob H.]

Did a little more tuning too the carb and used it like a truck! Also put the original hub caps back on.

I finally got off of my lazy butt. After a year of running around in primer I'm going to finish my paint job. 98% of the body work was done months ago. I had gotten to a point and stopped. Meanwhile a few other projects were done in front of it.

I backed it into the shed, and my son and I pulled it apart today. It's almost funny how fast you can strip one of these trucks down. I hope to start painting tomorrow.

Yes they are Spintech Super Pro Streets, i'm excited to hear them I figure they should sound pretty good.

I also picked up a 700r4 with converter this past weekend at Englishtown Swapmeet. Got it for $140.00 with 80k miles on it. Going to see how it runs then rebuild it before i put any big power to it. Fluid was really good in it and not burnt, transmission is in really good shape came out of an 1988 Caprice. Will just do a tune up and new seals in it for now.

For now, Yes. Old habits are hard to break. I might go two tone later on.

I got the inside of the bed painted this evening. It turned out pretty nice. The prep work of stripping, sanding, and knocking the dings out of the bed floor took so long, I hope it was worth the effort. I hope to get the cab, hood, door panels, and tailgate sprayed tomorrow.

Well I didnt do it today but I did it yesterday. I ordered my adjustable trailing arm crossmember from Nathan at Porterbuilt. Piece number 1 of many to come from Porterbuilt.

[gonnuts]

Put on my Lokar shifter linkage on my 700R4 , it's way better than the mickey mouse set-up the PO had on there(zip ties should not be used on shifter linkages!!!) Still waiting on my engine from my builder, getting frustrated it's been a day or two for at least a week now.

[Dano69c10]

Got my new stainless fuel lines (tank to pump) in today. Plan on removing the old lines, then installing the new ones. I also need to bend my own line to go from the pump to the carb.

[bucketObolts]

yesterday and today I pulled the front end apart. I am eagerly awaiting new 7" slam specialties bags, tie rod inner and outers, pitman arms, wheel bearings and new drum parts for the rear. Almost bit on the rear disc conversion, but had to just shut off the computer and walk away with my tail between my legs.

[SSchevimp]

i pulled the farmer bumper off. along with the "custom" ginormous hitch, pulled the two side fuel tanks that were added off, also took these helper leaf lookin things off ... and ordered some parts

[pritch]

I guess I better jump into this thread since I'm working on my new '68.

So far, I've given the cab a good once-over cleaning, fixed the driver's side door latch. Crazy thing wouldn't latch, so I pulled it out and it worked fine in my hand, so I put it back in and now it works fine in the door. Sunday I got the new ball joints and shock and brakes back together-driver's side only, and then today I started on the right side. I got everything apart before I ran outta steam, but going back together is the easy part.

Finally got the garage cleaned out, washed the truck and moved into the garage. Want to keep out of the elements until I get a job and can start pouring money into it. To bad I don't have the money, cause I got all the time in the world.

[Stocker]

I discovered that my spare -- original, I believe -- contained no air. I have not checked it in a great many years. If it loses air, as I expect it to, I'll be shopping for a wheel & tire....

Well actually a couple of days ago......
Stripped off the Black Paint on my 72 GMC Grill.
Afterwards, I'd say it was about a 7.5 out of 10.
Definatley a "50 Footer", but will do until I buy a new Chrome Grill.

[flashed]

I bought my 72 a new cowl hood and made a deal on a new front grill assembly by trading a new GM 68 Chevelle fender for it.

[Keller]

drove it like i always do

came home to find a box of goodies by the front door...

[zellway]

Got my tail lights installed. Also finished the exhast. This weekend will be back on the road.

[1quik70]

I don't have any pic but, I filled mine full of black mulch last week! This week, I have just been beating the old thing back and forth to work like I've done since I bought it last March!

[60ratrod]

Finished removing the front driver's cab support and mount bolt. That bolt didn't wanna give in. Now on to removing the front clip to help with installing the new support

Got my matching lock set installed that just showed up today from LockDoc. It sure will be nice to use one key when she gets back on the road!
