What did you do to your truck today!

[longbed67]

Got all the parts for my 4 wheel disc brakes ordered (putting my own kit together saved me a bunch of money)

Measured the framerail and started getting my rear gas tank cross members designed.

Sorry to hear. Hope you can come out on the positive with the insurance company. What did you hit?

I got most of my front bumper tacked together.



After tracing out my cardboard templates onto the steel plates with a marker... My bumper grew a little bit. I was probably anwhere from 1/8 to 1/4 inch oversize in some places. I'll have to retrim a couple of pieces before I go much farther. Not a big deal. I noticed that might be an issue after I cut the 4 smallest pieces and was able to adjust for the big pieces.

I was in the 2nd lane on 101. Lady in an explorer pulls out from behind me and passes and I assume she realized she was in the diamond lane and gets back in front of me. She has dark tinted windows I couldn't see past her. Next thing I know shes hard on the brakes and there is no way I can out brake her on wet pavement.

It's "my fault" because I was behind.

I used it as a truck today... With a little help.

Got my headlights aimed properly. It's an amazing feeling being able to see where your going.

Helped a good friend move some rear-ends and wheels from his shop on Sunday. On the way to his house a new Benz felt the need to jump right in front of me and make the first entrance into to grocery store, The other four just wouldn't do. So I slam it down from 4th to 3rd and all hell broke lose. The old T-10 didn't like that at all and now I'm afraid it is dead. I haven't pulled it out yet, but it doesn't sound good. Now might be the time to put that 5 speed in. I'm going to pull in tomorrow and I'll post some pics.

Made (with serious help) a couple of aluminum options for the Vintage Air firewall treatment. I like the VA cover, but I may like the aluminum better when it's all polished up and mounted.

Fantastic photo! Daddy's little helper! We, ( both my sons & I ) would pick up materials for our home projects with our 71 when it was a long bed. And they were right at the age of your little one. Now both are math majors (20&22) And yes time flies! So take plenty of photos & enjoy! cheers, Pat p.s. drove the same truck now short bed fleet to my shop and she ran great even did a little speed run!! Pat

I dug through my parts stored in the shed, found out I am missing one bushing from a set I ordered 4 years ago. Then I installed to Quadrajet and hooked up my throttle and TV cable. I also started making a list of the parts I still need. Turns out it's still alot of parts!!!!!

[KY Colonel]

I installed my gas pedal. (first thing I've done since I bought it 2 weeks ago)...and went for a drive!!!!

[RossRinSD]

Welded up my front bumper.



Ooh, and I sort of tested the back bumper I made a few weeks back.

[1972hays]

Installed the new high torque mini starter. I'm one step closer to starting her up for the first time!!!! I can't wait!!

Pulled some dents out of my bed, removed the bed fender wells and installed a Dynomat type product called RoadKill in the cab of my truck. I was a few sheets short and now I have many paper cuts on my fingers from handling that foil backed rubber product (sharp edges).

Got a bit of work done on the doors for my short bed. Installed Brothers 1 piece glass kit. "Not as much fun as I would have liked" This is only the fist one on the next door I will take more pic's and make a post about it. If anyone have not done this I will try and help best I can. Sorry about the bad pics I was using my phone.

The body guy came over and straightened out all the lines on the truck in one day. In fact, in about four hours. Quite an art. I just lifted when he said "lift", tugged when he said "tug".
Never has there been a bigger difference in the truck in one day than what he did today.

In the meantime, while I was saying out of his way, I plumbed the heater and air conditioning hoses and worked on the aluminum plate for the firewall. .....just a mock-up.
I forgot the camera today...Too excited about a real guy coming to "help"...Pics tomorrow.

Welded up all the screw holes in my bed left behind by a snap on cover and welded plates in my stake pockets smoothing the top of the rails on my bed.

[1972hays]
