Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Sandblasted and painted the PS pump and some accessory brackets, one step closer to firing her up for the first time!
How do I rotate the pictures so they're right side up? If I upload from my photobucket account the pictures are too big, but if I attach the file it ends up sideways. Any thoughts? |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
My Dec 21 birthday was celebrated last night. The grandkids brought me something
for my BD to put *ON* the tree. You can't see it in the tree pic., but it's front-and-center. Will be next year, too. Funniest thing is that both of them said, at almost the same time as I opened it, "It's not the correct year, but as close as we could get!" Hahahaha! Great present.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I unloaded mine off of a transport. Well, my wife did anyway. I at least drove it around the block for the first time. Made up for a not so fun day at work. It was especially fun watching the kids get so excited!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
All I did today was box up the NOS grill guards (first things bought from this site) and put those away in the garage with the rest of the "parts cubicle."

Replaced my taillights, licence plate light, park lamp lights and lenses, and dash lights with leds. The instrument lights are definitely a improvement because they were really dim.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
You can buy the colored film to get that tach to match the other gauges...

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
After 5 1/2 months at the paint shop I finally got to bring my truck home today! Merry Christmas to me, now I just have months of putting it all back together.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
For various reasons finishing my build has stalled some this year, but things are getting started again. What I did today is really what Ive done over the last week or so. (no new pics uploaded yet)
first I finished cutting and buffing the grille, lower valance and the front fenders. Then I installed the valance, grille, parking lights, fan shroud and clutch fan. Then the fun started--reinstalling the right front fender. It took three tries to figure out "why" it wasn't fitting. A little history---- when we dis assembled my truck in the beginning we found serious rust in both upper cowl corners. I had to buy a doner cab, both A posts were cut out and new welded back in. We braced the truck many way to insure no twisting or displacement. The new A posts were welded in below the lower door hinge. IN exactly the wrong place!!!! The weld ended up being just slightly thicker than the original post--at exactly where the inner fender brace came the closest to the door post. Rather than grinding on the door post where it could be seen (requiring repainting in a noticeable place--I opted to notch the inner fender brace (aprox. 1/4"") All went well---fender fits nicely, inner fender was repainted. Life is good, Santa is home again with Ms. Claus and I may get to start working on the left front side today or tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Shortened my e-brake cable..I cut off the end and silver soldered the new one on at 88" and cut the openings on my backing plates for the brake adjusters.. Dont have any pics of that
