Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Bought the Mother's Clay stuff and cleaned the hood good on my 71. Now just need to finish the rest of the truck with it. The hood is slick again like it was when painted.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I have been working in attaching the new bracket converting my 67 cab to 72 gas pedal linkage. I did not realize the problem otherwise I would have welded in the holes in firewall. I used longer screws to attach bracket and put rubber washer and steel washer to cover holes. I have also been restoring the steerring column and fixing a exhaust manifold. New harness and radio should be here soon.

I did not replace it. Why is there a problem finding one?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Helped a friend remove the cowl and windshield from my parts 'burb so he can use it for some patch panels for his 71. The 'burb is an old rust bucket and other than making a decent storage shed, it's getting to be a donor for several other trucks!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I added this 48 gallon auxillary fuel tank. Today I will fill it up if I can afford too! I will easily get over 1000 miles per fill up though and that will be nice.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I pulled the trigger and bought a new overdrive tranny....
  I left the cost out of the picture, but I can add it back in if everyone is interested in what a total purchase from bowtie would cost. More info and pics to come after I receive the crate!!! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Changed the oil today, hoped to fix a pesky oil leak coming from around the filter. No luck, but it was a little chilly today, so I wasn't getting into too much, we'll get a closer look at it next weekend, should be a good bit warmer.
