Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Installed my 3rd row Astro van seat. Sure feels better than the old stock bench.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Put the garage to bed so I can park the Chevelle inside out of the rain and snow. Reviewed the final assembly list and marked winter projects that are not dependent on temperature (pink) and stuff I need to buy for finish in the spring (yellow). Most of you probably have a similar list, but I am posting for new guys to show how I stay organized and on track with all the other stuff going on in my life. I keep it taped to the side of my rollaway for easy viewing.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
My list has changed a dozen times since I started. Now it's on a whiteboard. Sorry, that's racist. It's on a caucasion erasable display device.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
First time out of the garage in about a month. It was the first sunny day in a week and a half so we took it for a Christmas tree run.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Does ordering some parts count? I got some of the female quick release fuel line fittings for the 5.3 swap along with 30' of a 3/8" aluminum fuel line so I can plumb the LS swap.
Haven't been outside though... -Panelrodder

Yes it counts. You can't move forward without parts sometimes.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Nothing really other than look at it. I'm still in school and I figure without an education I can't get a job that pays enough to get the truck going. Sure pocket change gets me parts but nothing like the big stuff. Small stuff is all I have really ever purchased Andi have torn out parts and ripped other trucks apart but with school I probably won't do anything until spring.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I'm ashamed to admit I haven't moved it or started in more than a month.
I have a very slow leak in the right front tire so today I finally aired up all the tires today and I WILL start her and drive her a bit tomorrow just to get the tires round again!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Hey Mike. I'm gonna have to find some un-spoken-for money to work on my truck. Something outside the budget. Let's see, maybe my tax return will give me enough to go for it.
How's yours going? If I go ifs I think it'll definitely be Flat Out's crossmember & Vette parts. Out back in not sure cause I'd still like a little but of towing capability. Maybe just a couple Jetskis. So we'll see. Have a GREAT Christmas if I don't see you before then.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Put the TCI front susp on the frame. Now I got to figure out what I'm doing with the rear 4 bar deal. May just call SW race cars and buy their 4 bar street set up.
