Re: What did you do to your truck today?
You mean to say you have not seem my pictures before. I am in the process of running the wires right now. They exit the cab from the old gas pedal hole. I am going with a cable instead of the rod.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I know I’ve seen that photo for sure, but since it’s all smoothed off and painted I never noticed the missing plate. I really like the look, I think I’ll do it to mine when I pull the engine for replacement and detailing of the engine compartment.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
gathering up parts, material for the weekend. The no fun part, but necessary. Nothing worse than a trip to the parts store in the middle of trying to make progress.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Too cold around here lately to do any work on the truck. This year my focus will be on the floorboards, rockers, seat and window/door seals and gaskets.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Fabricated and installed some custom upper rear shock brackets. A bolt in deal that uses the stock bracket rivet holes. These move the top of the shock back about 4 inches and thus makes the shock about 18 degrees off vertical. Needed because I have 5" drop springs.
I posted a step-by-step procedure with pictures and a drawing... see post #59 of my build thread. ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by lakeroadster; 02-06-2011 at 08:27 AM. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Pulled the carb parts out of the carb cleaner bucket and rebuilt it. I'm surprised it ran before... float must have been dragging on the bottom of the bowl and the metering rod was unhooked from the pump plunger rod...
Inlet is partially stripped. If it leaks, I'll find a Rochester mono... |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Finished installing the three point retractable seat belts, cleaned up some more wiring, got my heater working (with two speeds now!) and got all the new window felts put in...starting to get pretty close to civilized!!! Also pulled the clutch pedal and z-bar out. Next up, a stereo to take care of the rest of the rattles and squeaks, still waiting for the new lock set to come in from ECE. Still have to get the rear axles drilled to 5x5, find a power steering setup, decide what to do about A/C, and install the rear discs. Whew. And i finally got around to test fitting the hitch reciever from uhaul. Should work fine. This things never gonna be done!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Messed around with my throttle linkage a little bit. Having a bit of a brain fart, is the pedal assembly different in a 62 than it would be in a 66? I put a 250 where the 235 was.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Was able to bring her home this morning, she where she belongs Boys! The guy in the hat is Uncle Ken, he's into antique too has a (I think a '68-69) TR6 rag top fully restored. I really need to put the seat in to get it off the pool table before the wife saw it and it's also out of the way too. I knew I was clos to the color match, but I really think I could not gotten any closer, esp. right out of the catalog from the Truck and Car Shop.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Well, yesterday actually. My wife said that I needed to be sure the old truck was clean. When I asked her why, she just smiled and said that we were going to use it as a prop in our family portraits. Too cool, made this alot more fun than it could have been.
