Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I got the 63 rear suspension all finished up today. Installed ECE shock relocator kits. Built all new brake lines for the back half of the truck.
I also rigged up a temporary fuel tank so I could start the engine. Found bad deal. When I assembled the new engine into the truck, I forgot to change the throwout bearing. The original throwout bearing was the long one and my new clutch needs the short one. So, my clutch is stuck disengaged. Friday I will have to pull the trans and swap the bearing to the right one.

Loaded Jon C's big back window cab and some other items. Headed from KC to Alabama on Thursday night/Friday morning at 1:30 am. Twenty-one hours, round trip. Should be lots of fun.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Started installing new bucket seats in my 65 SWB SS. Made seat brackets out of 11 ga. 1-1/2 square tube and 1-1/2 x 1 rectangular tubing.
Next up is retractable seat belts..... then interior paint. Happy Turkey Day Gang! (and thanks to Markeb for his internet help with the seats) |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Drove the farm truck for the first time today. I still need to finish the gas tank and install the seat, bleed brakes, align the front end and install the wheels. New wheels and powdercoated grille and bumpers are going to make the difference.
MarK bed wood and strips to be here some time next week.

 Very impressive. Your truck looks great. Looking forward to seeing it with the powder coated parts.My big truck adventure today was pulling the car cover off and taking a 15 minute drive to make sure the STA-BIL got circulated up to the carb. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Twenty years ago when I started goofing with old trucks, I would put Saddleman saddle blanket type seat covers on my trucks. They were very durable and lasted forever.
On this farm truck, I wanted to run one like I did back then. Everywhere I looked though, all I can find is thin versions of the old saddle blanket covers. Finally, I found a guy on ebay who makes them. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It's at least the weight and thickness of the ones I bought in the 80s. The downside is that it has some funny corner flaps on the front sides of it. The girlfriend says she will sew them down for me. The seat is a 73-87 Suburban middle seat I think. It's a bit narrower than most bench seats, allowing a bit of room between the edge of the seat and the doors. I spent some time lowering the brackets even more. I like my seats real low.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I changed the oil on my '46 for the first time since I've owned it. Good thing I did because it was BLACK! Whoever the A-Hole was that put the oil filter on last time put it on SO FRIGGIN TIGHT, I destroyed the filter; well, I caved it in with my filter wrench and broke the wrench in doing it! Anyway, its belly is full of nice clean oil now. NEXT...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Once again, I am not able to download photos because my Sprint MiFi card can't keep the connection long enough...note to everyone, don't give Sprint a dime of your money...this and their other phone services are terrible. I can't wait to be done with my contract!
Anyway, I left Kansas City at 8:30 pm on Thanksgiving evening and drove 655 miles in 11 hours to Moulton, AL, to deliver the big back window, A/C cab to Jonathan Cross. I arrived at 7:30 am, took a few hour power-nap, drove to his place, unloaded, chatted about trucks for a while and headed back to KC. I just walked in the door at 12:00 midnight. 1,330 miles and 21.5 hours of driving in the last 27.5 hours. I should sleep good tonight. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Well today I went to an autowrecker about an hour from
My house. My friends dad and I went there looking for front fenders and although there were 6 different trucks I had no luck as all were rusted out. I did however, manage to find a factory rearview mirror from a 64. I'll be putting it my 62 as I've been looking for one for nearly 2 months. Just wondering though, how much would this one be worth? It's in fair condition, although it needs a good polishing. The rivets also have surface rust on them. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I lost the Suburban in a divorce actually. A member on here bought it and is actually doing a build thread on it somewhere.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Cut a chunk out of my frame for the c-notch. Still gotta make the cuts on the other side and then weld everything up. There's just not enough time in the day.
But I also had to spend some time getting my new toy ready to race tomorrow('06 KTM 200XC).
