gmcdude · 11-30-2009, 06:00 PM

60-66 maybe but I'm posting for the years of 67-72.

oldblue1968chevy · 11-30-2009, 06:26 PM

today, I put a better looking centercap on, my heater quit blowing hot air, and its not the fuse, but I got too cold being outside tomorow Im going to the exhaust shop to get a missing exhaust tip and have them weld my exhaust on (tailpipes flopping) then ima change the oil and do a few other things..im always doing something to the ol thing

retodd7711 · 11-30-2009, 06:35 PM

Flipped it off.

gmcdude · 11-30-2009, 06:43 PM

I put a fuel filter on my 72 Gmc shortbed.But still no gas. Going to get gas to see if thats the problem.

dadsworktruck · 11-30-2009, 06:45 PM

I accepted the fact that our rust repair wont be done in 2009.

PanelDeland · 11-30-2009, 06:45 PM

Drove it to work.

oldblue1968chevy · 11-30-2009, 06:50 PM

i drove mine to school today too

big_al_71 · 11-30-2009, 06:51 PM

I walked by it this morning as I was going out of the garage and just tapped it on the tailgate.....

**americanmusc1e** · 11-30-2009, 06:54 PM

drove mine to college, looked at how low the gas gauge was, thought about my thermostat(which is stuck open in low 50 degree weather), wished my heater was hooked up so I wasn't freezing, left a black mark and some smoke

FRIDAY, on the other hand, I took it to the streets and lost to a stock '95 LT1 Camaro, and beat a modded Toyota Tundra................I need a 3.73 or 4.10 posi baaaaad

rwolf9653 · 11-30-2009, 07:11 PM

nothing

Sinister · 11-30-2009, 07:16 PM

Nothing today, but I put in new shocks and a new power steering pump last week.

smoky02 · 11-30-2009, 07:17 PM

Drove it to work today to make sure that it is no longer loosing water...

C20-67_N_MO · 11-30-2009, 07:27 PM

Looked at it in the body shop.

and same as Dadsworktruck will not be finished with rust repair in this year as well.

mindhive · 11-30-2009, 07:32 PM

Etched most of the rust and old paint off of my inner fenders with muriatic acid. I love the look of new metal.

Crazyz28 · 11-30-2009, 07:38 PM

I thought about pushing mine into the shop to work on it, but didn't have the motivation even though I have a bunch of parts to put on from this last weekends Turkey Rod Run swap meet. More money spent, yet not enough money to get it on the road.

Ackattack · 11-30-2009, 07:38 PM

Put in a request to take Wednesday off of work so I can work on the truck all day!

OldSkool71 · 11-30-2009, 08:06 PM

Pull it out of the garge...drove it to get something to eat...put it back in...pulled it out again...used the detail spray for a good shine...cleaned the windows...wheels...and put some tire dressing on...then put her back in the garage for another day....

squirel · 11-30-2009, 08:16 PM

Started the install of my gm performance fast burn 385. First time it has had a engine in it in 18 years

Mowdigger · 11-30-2009, 08:17 PM

Sandblasted my radiator core support today to prep it for paint, installed new plugs, and put on new chrome waterpump.

**NGN** · 11-30-2009, 08:23 PM

i started to glass bead another five lug steel rim to replace my six lug for my soon to be power disc brakes

justagoodolboy · 11-30-2009, 09:12 PM

I took mine to get new rockers,cab corners,cab supports,and the driver's side floor welded in.I had planned to do them myself but I suck at welding and I'm so busy I figured if I wanna get past that point I better just have it done.Trying to decide if I wanna dig deep enough for new exhaust while it's in the shop.Right now it has only one muffler and that was off a Dakota.

bigguy69 · 11-30-2009, 09:20 PM
