Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Started putting new floor boards in the cab over the weekend. New kick panels, lower A-pillar, DS forward cab support, Inner and outer rockers, PS rear cab support and finally Cab corners.

Dumped my sniper EFI back to carb, so glad to be done with that POS. Starts and runs every time now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Well, the new project spent a full week in my shop, new wheels cylinders, hoses and shoes, new heater core, new thermostat and water neck, new pressure and temp gauges, new choke cable, new exhaust hanger, carb cleaning...I was really hoping to drive it to work tomorrow, but couldn’t get the brakes to gravity bleed...so, it’ll have to wait until I can get my 14 year old son to come down for a leg work out while I bleed the wheel cylinders.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Polished this up with Pro Honda. Comes in a spray. Beyond my expectations, it took out some tuff areas with ease. I could brighten it up some more, but why bother. May have painted it, they look amazing painted, but seems they "breathe" easier without it.
$1550 to have this rebuilt. It's shifted smooth since the day I got it, but 140K miles, and an occasion of abuse ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Not sure if it's worth the trouble, cleaned up the aluminum trim with steel wool. It's all trashed, front fender arch looks like it was driven through a barbed wire fence.

.
Can't tell with that image, no. Too poor quality and the angle is wrong for comparison. But... it does look good to me! -klb

They both look killer!!! I’ve got one too, but mine won’t be so original underneath.

The transmission was mostly clean already. I sprayed a reasonable amount and let it sit 4-5 hours. Wiped, brass brushes on a Dremmel, wiped. Sprayed some more and buffed some with fine steel wool, whiped. Sprayed a pinch more, wiped and done. About 1.5 hours is all, nice stuff.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Every little bit helps. The little things are what make a well kept daily driver stand out. I repainted the tailgate letters on my faded tailgate with a spray can and some tape. Made the truck look much better!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I finished welding up the unnecessary holes in the firewall and started the body work. Now I get to learn firsthand why everyone gets sick of sanding.
