What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

[cj847]

Unfortunately, I have gotten used to that kind of treatment. Better for them to turn you down than to do a bad job.

Things I consider myself lucky when I find someone who knows how to do it- PROPERLY:

-Adjust a carburetor. Actually, to do anything with an engine that doesn't have a computer.
-Install a windshield that uses rubber.
-Align a vehicle built before 1990.
-Crimp an A/C hose.
-Set up a ring and pinion.

It is concerning that everyone who knows how to work on these vehicles are now retiring.

More new battery cables.
And side post studs instead of the goofy battery bolts
Finally starts without a major voltage loss.

Congrats, now you can clean up the middle section of your frame

Does the w/s come out, before blasting, are going to use soda or sand

She looks pretty clean, rust wise

I sat by it as I am waiting on a parking brake cable and a rear drivshaft section.

Finished up the stakesides . All Hickory three coat spar urethane thinking I may have to use threaded inserts instead of just #12 brass wood screws .

Installed the Laminated OEM windshield i found in the atic of a barn. I believe it was NOS. My first install and went fairly well. Only had to stop and take a time out a couple times. LOL.
Thanks for looking Russ

Thanks! I looked at all the tips from the members over the years and that helped greatly! It would have been trial and error if not for the members here on the board with their knowledge.
Thanks Russ

Finally got around to installing my radiator overflow tank. Wife says it looks like a diamond in a goat's ass. She can be a funny woman at times.

Only thing lately is got the whole truck waxed and cleaned up for some upcoming car shows.

Rebuilt 67 vent windows , Chromed by El paso , http://www.electroplatingelpaso.com/

New glass from

Gaskets from Precision

Took a round trip to Natchitoches Louisiana yesterday in my ‘67 GMC…about 300 miles total…truck oil and water level didn’t drop a measureable amount…life is good! At least until the micro-casting flaw in the crankshaft, rod, piston, or whatever that wasn’t measurable in 1967 finally and catastrophically makes its presence known….

[Cali72K20]

Installing NOS door handles with the gaskets got from Seth and restored vent windows from Rodger. I don't remember who I got the handles from, sorry!

[zicc1835]

fit tested last night dropped off for paint this morning .....used the 55 grocery getter to transport

[4LUG39]

I've gotten some time off untill I start my new job so I started putting the disc
brakes and power steering set up on my '69.

[LNP]

Nice! I converted my 69 as well

[Steeveedee]

Went to a meetup in a nearby town and met 72sb in person. That is one really nice little pickup he has! Wandered around looking at vehicles. About 70 years worth were represented. Everything from Model T Fords to '80s Corvettes. What I have yet to do today is go and trouble shoot the truck. It started running lumpy on the way home from the meetup.

[67C10Step]

Dropped mine off at the shop for an alignment at 8:30, picked it up at 11:00. Drove it literally about three blocks and dropped it at the glass shop for a windshield. Hope to get a call tomorrow or Wednesday to come pick it up again.

[Steeveedee]

Checked the truck out, yesterday. As I suspected, it's loading up a little. Gonna get a carb kit. Looking for a plating kit, while I'm at it. Gonna make it look close to new, I hope.

[Steeveedee]

Rebuilt the carb. $280 for a plating kit, that ain't happening. I have a couple of adjustments to make, but they're going to wait until tomorrow. I can't take the heat under the hood when it's already in the '90s. At least the flooding condition is fixed.
