What did you do to your truck today!

[big_al_71]

Installed the a rear tailgate band....should of done this years ago..

[dmack91]

Fixed the 6 month old gas sending unit that decided to ground itself out last weekend. Relatively easy, at least.

[RossRinSD]

I've been boxing my front framerails and tying in the front crossmember by the steering box.



In preperation for adding a winch and winch bumper.

Replaced the rear control arms. I have been dreading this, but it went well. I did this on my 69 SWB, and with a torch, and 4-5 hours I replaced them. Today, I started at 11, and was done at 1. EVERY bolt was well behaved, and I did not break a bolt, and the torch was never lit! I had a good day.

I notice your tailgate doesn't have the lower molding. Is that by choice or was it always that way? I'm asking because I just got a used tailgate for my truck and it has holes for the upper molding but not the lower. I always thought it was all or nothing.

On my wife's 69 I swapped out the alternator for a CS130 105A from an 89 Suburban. I am going to shorten the stainless steel all-thread sticking out in the second picture.

It was pouring down raining so I haven't tested it yet. We left this afternoon also for the weekend. Next week I report back.

Man! I'll be so happy when I can make a post like that.

I just passed a year of work.... and the frame and suspension and
engine and trans were already built when I got her.

Tomorrow I'm making final preparations for putting the front clip on...It's happening Saturday.

One guy working alone. And, I guess that's what you get.

[67chevy1series]

pushed it out... did some wiring ended up with a radio speaker and radio, dome light and engine harness that works at the end of the day then pushed her back in..... more i install the heavier it gets... good thing i am close dont know if my skinny @ss can push it n and out much longer!

[ratchit]

I drempt about how im going to install my fresh 454 t400 with a 205 this weekend and hopefully start it to hear the roar in my ears again. Im missing the sounds of my baby as I cruz down the street with no were to go

[shopking72]

Drove it to work today Nice day.

[OJ1988]

Installed CPP Long panhard bar, shock relocators, and toxic shocks.

[magwakeenercew2jh]

Bled the brakes.... and then broke the front line...Ordering some pre-bents from somewhere later today.

The boys showed up to put the front clip on. Bolted down the cab and front clip. The body lines are as straight as we could get them.
Later (after she's running), it's off to the body $hop (somewhere) for some straightening of the lines.... and MUCH later, to paint jail.

Put the hood on just because there were three of us...and we could!!!

But I now have an engine bay.

Met member Flint70step today. He was near my place, and came by a to look at my 67 K20 and 68 panel. We were going to adjust carb on the 67, but after pulling a few plugs, discovered 2 things. 1. it was tuned fine, 2., reason it smelled rich was 1 plug was toast. Flint was the first besides my kids to ride in the 67. Great guy.

[blfuller123]

I got my new project 68 off the trailer and started taking it apart.

[67Slider]

Drove her for about an hour then parked her. Tried to start her up about twenty minutes later and ....nothing. Got some heat soak going. Had put a heat shield on awhile back and thought I had it beat. Planning the remote solenoid now. Hope that fixes the problem.

[doubleb's69]

Pinstriped my glove box door. I was bored so what the heck. The blue was a litttle over reduced. Oh well.

[FLEET72]

More work on the wife's 69. Removed the saddle tanks and the plastic lines that were run to add them. Removed the funky, scary rubber fuel hose that was run from the drivers side saddle tank all the way up to the fuel pump. Changed the door locks and and ignition switch to a single key. Moved the windshield washer bottle to the drivers side fender. Removed the old leaky trailer brake unit and ended up having to make a new line from the master cylinder to prop valve.
Yesterday we went to pick n pull and scored a pair of good inner fenderwells and a washer bottle bracket.

[RossRinSD]

Got my winch box all put together and welded up.




Tomorrow I'll get that mounted up under the truck, and then make templates for the rest of the bumper out of some cardboard.

Anyways, this is sort of what I'm shooting for, less the turnsignals.

[Palf70Step]

nice work on the glove box door there doubleb.
