Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Thanks for the complement. That's a Moon Eyes tach and got it from a local SoCal Speed Shop. I think you can buy them direct from the company, they are around $70 or so, which I don't think is too much.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I made some parts for a sling to pick up my cab. It is too late in the week to start the mock up(I can't get in the shop on some weekends) so I am getting ready to start next Monday If I figure it right it will be easy to repeat the position of the sling saving time next time I pull the cab and remount the cab. only twice I hope.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I'm thinking the "Marine Oil Finish" is the one for our truck beds. I like the description of being able to wet sand it to repair it.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I actually did SOMETHING today. Not much, but it counts. Welded shut holes in my door panels the P.O. used to mount gawd-awful giant rubber armrests with molded in handles.
Ground them smooth, spread a little bondo and hopefully omorrow I'll sand and prime them. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Thanks! In the short term, just get it running decent, new wheels/tires, possibly a wood flat bed, and drive it! Want to also do fresh brakes, news fluids, etc. It was originally advertised as a 3100 but after some more measuring and reading, it appears it's a 3/4 ton. Back of cab to end of frame rail measures 87 inches, or 7 feet. Center of rear axle to end of frame rail measures 36" and some change. Door jamb sticker says 5800 lbs GVW. All this seems to match up with the 3/4 ton specs.
In the long term, not sure yet. I posted in the 4x4 section as well. A previous owner has added more leaves to the spring packs, as well as small lift blocks. This got me thinking how awesome a 4x4 conversion would be...albeit out of my current skill range. Major project I know. At first, I thought I was all set on lowering it and all that (which I still like when done right and on certain ones) but not committed to anything yet. Want to just get it running decent and drive it for awhile. |
