Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I installed a new rear view mirror in my passenger door, the door never had one so I had to measure the drivers mirror about twenty times before I was happy enough to drill holes in my new paint! The new mirror is beautiful compared to the old one on the drivers side, now I have to replace that one! While I had the door panel off I installed a bunch of 1/2" thick rubber sheeting on the inside of the doors, what a big difference in the way the door sounds now! Sounds very solid when you close the door and driving is a lot quieter!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Installed a new master cylinder and power booster and discarded my 41 year old master cylinder. I am excited I don't have to use all the muscle in my legs to stop my truck like Fred Flitsone did.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Welded a 5" long crack on the rear of my frame right where the bumper mounts, not too sure how it got there,the bumper i took off was welded to the frame so ether it was welded because the frame was cracked somehow? or it cracked from being welded? the crack was almost directly in the center of and parallel to the welds.

Also made and mounted a ground strap for my fuel cell and ran the sending unit wire up to the cab but did not terminate the cab end yet.
