Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Painted out the "yellow tag" on the Vintage Air drier (showed thru the grille);
90% installed on the new grille (How the Hell do those square nylon expanding clips work?...I never can get them to work without shaving them); Installed sound deadner under the hood. Pulled and painted the plate for the "male" side of the hood latch; Installed "female side" of the hood latch on the rad core support and grille and grille center bracket. Light day. No pics today. Nothin' really to show.

My old compressor died too, but just from age. I replaced the compressor motor with one I picked up from Harbor Freight. 2 years and it is still running strong. In my case it was about the same price as rebuilding my old one.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I bought a used tailgate to replace mine. It has some surface rust I'll have to clean up, but at least it's not rusted through like the old one is.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Today may son and I finished welding in all the patch panels and outer rockers on the cab for my '67 swb stepper. I probably should say my son is the welder while I am the patch panel fabricator.
After we got stuff cleaned up we looked over the cab and marked all dents that we need to fix and discussed what to do next Sunday. You see we only work on my truck on Sundays, my son and his family and me. Since I am a novice at sheet metal work I have learned quite a bit while working on the cab beside how to make patch panels. Here are few that many of you may already know about. Don't use a 4.5 inch angle grinder with a cut-off wheel or grinding disk without wearing leather gloves or a face shield ![]() ![]() Now when I use the grinder I wear leather gloves, a face shield and no flammable shirt. I have become pretty good at making patch panels from the sheet metal from an old hood. Hopefully I will learn more next Sunday.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Picked up a 71 GMC 2500 for $1600 with the intention of it being a parts truck for my 71 C20. Upon closer inspection this "parts" truck is more rust free than my Chevy, and all numbers matching as well. Can't bring myself to take it apart yet.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed this. This is just a dress rehearsal, push rods get here tomorrow then I can bolt down the intake, carb, etc.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
After the carb was rebuilt a few months ago the truck still wasn't running right so the guy that did it for me came to the conclusion that the gas tank was the culprit so out it came today and hopefully be back in tomorrow (Wish I would of changed when the truck was in pieces) I thought it was good.
