Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Yesterday and today. Removed 3OTT transmission, factory rivets on crossmember were a lot of fun. Getting ready to install TH350 and tilt column.

Drove an hour each way to pick these up. Out of a '68 dodge pick up. Hard to come by parts for these trucks in Florida

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Today my friends helped me begin the process of replacing my wood bed in the '68 from the old, poorly finished oak to new quarter-sawn red oak that will be milled and finished over the winter. We elected to pull the box completely, so here are a few pictures from today. While off I will clean and paint the frame as well as a few other tasks - new real wiring harness, diff cover, etc. The old boards are being reclaimed to use elsewhere by my wood worker father in law.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I took the drive-shaft off, but my buddies Sal and Mario did the entire new Ring & Pinion and True-trac install. I was happy with my old 3:42 gears but unfortunately they don't make a True-trac LSD that fits my 1977 12 bolt with that ratio, so we went 3:73. It's great, different feel with both wheels driving the truck. Yes its a GMC with leaf spring rear.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Today I am spray painting my inner grill. I glued up a crack (didn't notice the other cracks in time!) and figured I could at least primer paint it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Regrettably no, it rains far too much in the summer. The winters are perfect though!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got puled over sat night for a burnt out plate light. Fixed that and put new bulbs in my dash cluster. Also put in a new round wire for the dash cluster so my temp and gas gauge would read correctly. This done to my 67' k20.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got my steel visor somewhat fitted today. Gonna have to do a little patch work around the notch going around the rain channel to get a cleaner look out of it since I mounted it in a lower position than it was designed for. I really like the look this gives...

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
In my truck down time I finally got the new turn signal switch installed. Not a particularly hard job but getting the wires situated inside was a bit of a treat.

Ran out of truck money. So, I'm just doing little, tiny stuff these days. I figured RAT will always be RAT. But, since there's paint on her now, I decided to go for a different tag. Couldn't get "C10". So, I had to go with "CI0". Close. Here it is "P-Shopped" on there.
