What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II - Page 101 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**special-K** · 07-19-2015, 04:34 PM

I had to order the inner bearing for my '72 from Napa. Tore down the Selectro hubs, cleaned, oiled, reassembled, ready to go. I hope to find new stainless bolts & lock washers for them tomorrow, and pick-up the bearing

I rinsed off my new (1970) core support and am letting it dry in the sun. I also wire brushed off a bracket, washer, and nut and put on a coat of NAPA Rust Treatment. I also have another bracket undergoing ERR.

This was an afternoons worth of work... If I ever find the person that put that white strip down the center of the bed....

Tomorrow... start pulling out and filling in the divits and finish pulling the bottom of the bed.

VWNate1 · 07-19-2015, 06:28 PM

I dropped the tailgate and spread cardboard and clean towels over it for protection as I did bench works on a brand-x car......

Sigh .

Very nice. I love steppers.

I love 'em all.
But I REALLY love rust-free steppers.

Nice interior.

cooperhw · 07-19-2015, 11:29 PM

Yesterday we painted the doors and the bed. Today I married up my replacement 350 and installed hooker headers.

Bowtiguy · 07-19-2015, 11:43 PM

Finally finished the CRAPPY inline tube "direct fit" SS brake lines...what a joke. I'll build mine from scratch next time.

Bowtiguy · 07-19-2015, 11:45 PM

Oh yeah, wrapped up the iDIDit 30" universal column to the NLE power R&P too.

What a beauty, I'd give it a 1st place in the truck class!

magwakeenercew2jh · 07-20-2015, 02:55 PM

Went to the dump. Then to the hardware store.
Then to the grocery store.

That's it for today. Pretty boring, huh?

Thats whats great about these trucks: taking them out for routine chores never gets boring.

stepsider · 07-20-2015, 03:09 PM

Can't be boring with that truck, very very NICE

**Boog** · 07-20-2015, 03:20 PM

Easy there Bill. You might overwork it. �� i kid. .Rat is still lookin good.

mud.man.rj · 07-20-2015, 08:20 PM

So mag is saying he drove around a lot and had fun..

In The Ten Ring · 07-20-2015, 10:17 PM

All I could do today was measure for my "D" ring towing hitch. I'm going to try and cut the 2" tubular steel tomorrow in welding class.

Well, I didn't want to brag. But I had "The Boss" with me.

Before we made it to the supermarket, and after a nice ride in the woods all the way around Bass Lake to the dump (Where they said, "Cardboard?"
"Old Bike?" "Two old printers?" "That's all for the recycle." "Bay One" "No charge."), The Boss said, "Hey, I've got twenty cents off a gallon for gas."
"Let me buy you a tank."

After the store, I asked her if she wanted to drive. She just looked at me like I was nuts. She can drive like Parnelli Jones. But she likes to ride.

A Good Day.
Nice ride. Then, when we came home, I tinkered a little with the motorized bicycle.

mud.man.rj · 07-20-2015, 11:01 PM

There is that bike again, sure looks cool, would like to try that out, bet it is fun but not as much as the truck, cruising all day with the boss yet..
