Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I got tired of looking at the two holes where the shoulder strap bolts should be, so I came up with a cheap fix. Went to NAPA and got two of these LED push in lamps. They are about the size of a quarter. Wired them up to the dome light harness down near the floor. Since I did not want to harm the threads in the cab, I just used black RTV to "glue" them in place. Tried them out in the shop with the lights out and they are pretty bright, kind of a bluish/white light. They are "Peterson Utility Light #V171C".

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Drove it from South Central L.A. out to Lancaster and had breakfast with the V.J.L.A. then drove it to Pasadena via The Angles Forest and Crest Highways , I've been tweaking the tire pressures and it's hugging the asphalt like no old truck should ~ my brother was riding shotgun and looked a little green around the gills so I slowed down after a bit ~ if the tires don't squeak , I couldn't possibly be going too fast , right ? .
I only used one quart of oil too =8-) . Loaded up some brake tools in Pasadena and drove it to South Central , the West L.A. where I bled the brakes out on my old 1980 Caddy S & S Victoria Hearse ~ it stops great now but appears to need front calipers .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Bought a period correct bench seat a while back, so today a friend was generous and sand blasted the mounting brackets for primer and paint. Yesterday I fixed the electric choke issue it was having, and fine tuned the idle. It was a joy to drive it today..

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Yesterday I said hi to my truck when I was over at the garage putting new lights and sideboards on a small utility trailer.
Tomorrow I am going to straigten out my garage and see if I can find all the parts I need to put tail lights on the '67 swb stepper.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Retired the new, but suspect, mech. fuel pump.
Installed the block off plate and electric fuel pump while I wait for the gas tank to come back. A little wiring inside the cab tomorrow, a precautionary fourth blow-out of the lines, and I'll be ready for clean gas to the carb.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
took a little drive to check tire pressures and a fill-up ($66 ouch!) - then I removed a mystery toggle switch that was bugging me and it's useless wiring under the hood. I also moved some good wiring into some black wire loom to pretty things up..

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed the A/C part of the Painless harness. Removed the windshield wiper motor so I can replace it tomorrow. Replaced the small vacuum hoses under the hood along with the hoses under the dash that they attach to. Removed the cheap radio that didn't fit the dash holes correctly. Need to find one that fits. Anyone have any ideas?
