Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Finally got some new shoes on the beast.. Goodyear Wrangler 235/75/15's, nice to have modern rubber. Also got the tailgate on. Bit of a pita, but it's on.... now if someone would please sell me a rear bumper.... Arrgh, can't believe it's so hard to find an original painted bumper. How many of these damn trucks did they make?? Oh well, I'm learning patience I guess.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I only have the step bumpers. Alot of guys are using the 67-72 bumpers becuase they hug the body line better.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I got my dome light to work. Which was a trick, because the wires were cut in 2 places. The cool part was that I got to teach my 6 year old exactly how to trace wires, and what a test light will do and what continuity is. I picked him up from school today and he wants to get door jam switches so he can hook them up!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Today I scored a great find. Went to a local classic yard and found a "2bbl" original 1964 air cleaner for 20 bucks. All it needs is a little cleaning. No rust what so ever. And of course a new air filter. It was a good day!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I have not cleaned it up yet but the best 20 bucks I have spent on this truck so far. It does have a little surface rust but nothing a little sand paper and paint wont cure. It should look like new when done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I got a great deal on parts for my build. A set of Dolphin gauges that will work in my stock dash for fifty bucks and a nearly new 650DP Demon Carb with 4 corner idle for one fifty, it will work perfectly on my 4.8L turbo motor.
Actual work on the truck...Got the lower panels sprayed in undercoating and the frame, its sprayed in a tight pattern so it looks more like a factory coating. I made the final adjustments to where the silver stripe will be.
