Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Cleaned up and hit a couple cars and coffee and cruise ins, while Fall and winter is when half of you put your trucks away its the best time to get out here in NC.
I do have a couple projects ready to start in the garage, new cowl hood I need to paint with billet hinges and a freshly built stage 2 2004R 4 speed trans to replace my TH350. Before next summer I need to order and install a Vintage Air, having no AC this summer and no heat for this winter is getting old.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Nice weather today for the show . I didn’t walk around much so no pictures other than my truck . Tomorrow will be just as nice so it should be a great turnout . Trucks keep rolling into the camping area tonight .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Finished getting my disk brake D44 axle ready for paint, which will be applied tomorrow based on the weather forecast. My goal is to have all the painted parts finished before the snow comes and start assembly over the winter.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Bought a USA-1 seat cover . I’m going to recover the 72 seat it has white and black houndstooth now. Little boring if you ask me . This should make it pop , I couldn’t pass it up for $75 .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
played with the throttle cable and kick down/detent bracket I like the way it turned out all aftermarket stuff except the accelerator cable so much easier with no fenders to lean over.....with my abused and old back

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Replaced the alternator and re-did the shattered connector plug. While I was at it, I saw that the fuel pump was squirting gas from the weep holes in the top of the mechanical pump. So, got a new pump and will be doing that next.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Freshened up a gauge cluster for the 67 Vermillion/white CST. Going to go from this broken bezel.....
To this. Special thanks to TBONE1964 for the calibrate and paint on the speedo and TOO MUCH STUFF for the choke delete & throttle place card.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Finally...some time on Old Blue...
truck has sat idle for a few years now while I worked on other projects, mostly for other folk... Purchased this 1967 LWB 2WD V8 about four years ago...put it on the shop, ripped off the bed and doors and seat to clear out mice nests...and there it sat...until today. Checked the oil and coolant... Bypassed the ignition circuit and starter circuit by removing firewall plug... Pulled carb and cleaned out the junk...no gasket set available so I reused the old ones... Added a temporary fuel supply system and primed the carb....(original 2GC ) Turned her over a bit to get some oil circulating.... Connected power to Ign circuit and away she went !..... No smoke No blowby Let her warm up for about 15 minutes...darned thing sits there and idles ! Some times it nice to work on something just for yourself... Pics coming later... Nearly time for football!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Put a NOS door latch from Riverside Truck and Auto Parts in Milliken, CO. I enjoyed talking to John and his assistant there while my part was being retrieved for me. Now my door opens and closes properly.
