What did you do to your truck today? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sams60gmc · 10-26-2009, 07:59 PM

Whats up guys? So I did a search on this forum board and didn't see anything like this. But anyways I'm part of a forum board that is based out of Southern Oregon/ Northern California and they have a thread in there that is titled what did you do to your car today. It is pretty cool so I figued it would be cool to start one here. It can be as minor as an oil change or a wash job or as major as a cab swap and anything in between, its just cool to see what others do on thier trucks on a daily basis. Let me know what you guys think!
Cheers.

I drove mine today!

Slow Build · 10-26-2009, 08:52 PM

I drove mine out into the driveway so I could get to the Halloween boxes on a low shelf behind it. Then I backed it back in. After that I cleaned up the oil stain I left in the driveway.

More planned for tomorrow.

SuperWho · 10-26-2009, 08:55 PM

Had it towed to the shop after the torque converter went out.

47guy · 10-26-2009, 09:15 PM

i sat on the bed and smoked a cig tons of progress huh

65Custom · 10-26-2009, 09:17 PM

I looked at mine today and thought that I'll try to get that driver side cab corner on this week.

markeb01 · 10-26-2009, 10:13 PM

Washed the windshield and took a ride to a friends house.

*LILRED66* · 10-26-2009, 10:14 PM

I worked on a customer's big window cab, put a pair of radiator extensions on a '64 GMC, cleaned up a pair of passenger side front fenders and shipped 12 packages of various '60-'66 Chevy/GMC parts.

I will be working on the '65 Chevy big window cab tomorrow and shipping some more parts.

Thanks for starting this thread.

First I walked around it, then stared at it then went back in the house to list stuff for sale so I can afford to finish it. Then gathered up some pieces that need to be painted black. Also working on a wish list for Moultrie GA swap meet Nov 20-22.

choppedsled · 10-26-2009, 11:04 PM

Just picked up a 62 C10 for my son a few weeks ago. Opened up the 12 bolt rear today to find fresh Yukon gears, axles etc. Some new lube and it's ready to roll.

Vernski · 10-26-2009, 11:11 PM

I got my rear leaf springs re-arched and back from Pohl spring works today, put them on now it sits level again. The fella from Pohl said there was an extra leaf in one side, must have been a PO fix it was 2 1/4" higher on one side??? Life is good again.---Vernski

198plus · 10-26-2009, 11:15 PM

Thinking about pulling the small block out and putting a very BIG RAT motor in it.....

198plus. I think you should...and I'll help you if you give me your SB.

Byronic · 10-26-2009, 11:23 PM

I took it for a ride to get the tank empty for a sending unit swapout. I could have siphoned the gas but thats no fun.

ClassicAutoResto · 10-26-2009, 11:23 PM

Bet it was a lot more enjoyable getting the nice clean ones back in compared to taking the old ones out.

Im partial to the rain. I like it because that means its snowing up in the hills and I love snowboarding. Although I wish it wasn't raining down here so I could get some more work done on my truck.

**Corts60** · 10-27-2009, 12:27 AM

I got my new cam in today for my 396. By the end of the week, I will have a whole new top end! WOOO!

Haven't worked on the truck lately though, she is put away for the winter...
