What did you do WITH your truck today? - Page 17 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**cwcarpenter98** · 03-12-2022, 05:36 PM

Pulled the trailer out of the back yard for a swap meet this morning. Great time even though it was cold and windy with a few snow flurries

**cwcarpenter98** · 03-29-2022, 02:24 PM

I went to take a gander at an 81 Custom Deluxe

blacknwhitedog · 04-06-2022, 09:56 AM

Finally drove it after years of being worked on. 4 link rear, new engine, trans rebuild, plus a new set of shoes….

forestb · 04-06-2022, 10:30 AM

Oooo Vary nice

Joe Pass · 04-06-2022, 11:06 AM

Very nice, being in Sonoma maybe I'll see you on the road

LostMy65 · 05-28-2022, 11:40 PM

Went and got 6- 2×12 PT to upgrade my deck stairs.
8 footers are $30 a piece

**Chevy Fleetside** · 05-29-2022, 12:47 PM

I went and picked up the granite for a job I'm doing. Those are 10 ft long.

Ah, the uses of a long bed.

Went to Cars and Coffee at San Francisco's Ocean Beach and made some pancakes. Brought both trucks. I guess I should have gotten more pictures. oh well this will have to do.

Went on a drive through the mountains. I was planning on getting a little further than I did but my power steering pump started growing. Dreams of turning it into a corner carver bounced through my head.

Don't bother. They won't listen

Nevada51 · 02-03-2026, 08:13 PM

OK so this technically wasn't today, but bringing the thread back to its intent, I picked up a door from the hardware store a while back. Not exactly hard work like some others on here, but it made the job very easy and it was photo-worthy!

Does staring longingly at it and dreaming of warm temperatures count?

Its its currently freezing cold, a blizzard outside and there is salt on the roads.

forestb · 02-06-2026, 03:57 PM

If you want to ship it out to California I will drive it around for you. It's supposed to be 80 on Sunday
