Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I'm finally back on the truck after a six plus month layoff from wrenching. Yesterday, I cleaned up the shop and organized about a million "little bits". Last night, I told myself, "When I go over to the shop, I'm going to pay attention to ONE chore only".
So, when I went over today, I *almost* finished plumbing the Vintage Air. It worked...that's ALL I worked on. Tomorrow, some pics. And, hopefully, a finished plumb and electric job on the air.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed my new grille and a remanufactured compressor for the A/C along with a new dryer. Need to evacuate and charge. Put a new compressor and dryer on the 71 Blazer last week and charged that system up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
After a year and 5 months of removing things (frame off), repairing things, cleaning things, replacing things, modifying things and spending money like I had a tree in the back yard where I pick it from, I started my truck today. It sounds great, the 502 really sounds good with open exhaust. I only had 1 small fuel leak, I replaced the fitting and leak no more. I still have lots of work to do but today was a huge milestone. I am really happy with how things have turned out to this point.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I haven't uploaded any pics onto the computer in a while so I have a little catching up to do. The last week in April I made myself a temporary wood floor.
  Then I went to Carlisle and got some new arm rest and a rear view mirror bracket   I had an extra set of tailights lying around, so I decided to tint a set with VHT Nite Shades  My side markers looked a little weird being red with black tailights, so I took my deluxe lights off and made a tinted set of van markers with bowties
