Re: jimbosprint 1972 C20 - the good, the bad, and the ugly
I made this simple cup holder today from a painted piece of plywood and a $9 cup holder I found at the parts store. It seems like it will work just sitting there, but I might add some rubber feet if it moves.

Re: jimbosprint 1972 C20 - the good, the bad, and the ugly
Jimbo, did you already install your glovebox? if not could you give me some measurements off of it? mine fell out and got crushed by a passenger, now I want to make one out of sheet metal, just need the dimensions.

I just got mine from GMC Pauls sitting in the garage. I can get some dimensions for you when I get home.

Re: jimbosprint 1972 C20 - the good, the bad, and the ugly
I just ordered 4 new shocks from Amazon for $102.
 Amazon.com: KYB KIT 4 FRONT & REAR shocks /...I also found this $40 mail-in rebate from KYB (http://www.kyb.com/40-for-4/), so my total cost for all new shocks will be $62! Last edited by jimbosprint; 04-27-2015 at 08:23 PM. |

I installed some tie-down hooks in the bed of the truck today. No drilling required.

Used my truck for some real work today. Hauled a yard of concrete for a foundation for a shed I'm building.

I had some time today to install the new shocks. Looks like the old ones weren't doing much good.

New shocks ride smooth.
Oh, and here is the shed I built. It sure is nice to have a truck to do things with. |
