Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Rings are good, but I would invest in a gas cap...

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I have one Orrie. The tank is under the bed now. I just thought the tag matches the personality of the truck better than the chrome cap. :-)

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Yesterday I finally bolted down my steering colume floor plate. Adjusted carb with help of vaccume gauge. Today some more little stuff. Not sure what yet.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Getting ready to put it in my garage this weekend... decided to throw the battery out of my 442 in it and see if anything still worked...
 Cue the scary john carpenter music! Headlights & high beams worked, speedo dashlight worked... pressed on the starter plunger and it spins up- although didn't engage the flywheel. Probably stuck. Will be pumping up the tires this afternoon and with some help relocating it to my garage to get things ready to try and fire it back up.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Started sandblasting my 51 cab in prep to put on the new rear lower panel. What a time consuming, dirty and hot job. It would have been cheaper to have someone come in and do everything and it would all be done in a day.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I took out the 3/4 ton rear end along with the overload springs and overload stops off the frame. Checked out the new (to me) '58 Apachie 1/2 ton rear end that will take it's place.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
This is the first prototype. I'll do a couple more in black mainly because black is cheaper, then when i have it down pat, i'll do in the off White/Gray color. What ya think ?
