Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Just got back home from vacation...As if I wasn't lucky enough to say that my whole life has been a vacation for the last five years!...
First stop on this trip was a car show in San Luis Obispo (actually Arroyo Grande). A friend had his '65 GTO in the show and I joined him in the Friday night cruise. Sadly, only one of our trucks was entered out of over at least a hunderd cars and other trucks. More sadly, our truck is still in paint jail. I asked a vendor of die-cast cars if he had a 67-72 Chevy truck. He was unloading his wares and scratched his head..."I think I have a 7 '72 Cheyenne, but I'm not sure." I said, "I'll come back later", pretty much knowing I'd get to see something tasty but not close to a silver, lowered short bed fleet running 20's. Mine's a '68 w/a '71 front clip. I was going to get it, anyway...whatever he had. I love all the 67-72's. Went back and he had this: Oh, the mirrors broke off. Strange kismet...again...I'm not running stock mirrors.

Pulled the power steering pump apart and freshened up all the soft parts.
