Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Loaded up the burb with gear and 4 buddies... and headed for the desert at
9pm the other night, met up with some other friends around midnight, crashed in their motorhome, got up at sunrise, road some desert trails and eventually to a town called Randsburg (CA), back to basecamp, loaded up, then home. Total distance in the burb - 300+ miles... and 55 miles offroad (on the dirt bikes) within a 24 hour period. The burb ran great.... gotta love it!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed my Hotchkis rear sway bar yesterday to match my Hotchkis front bar. Its a sway bar off of a 82-92 F-Body. Got the idea off a thread I read started by mrh33916. The install was pretty straight forward and worked out really well, almost like it was meant for the truck. Got the frame brackets off of ebay. Also installed my rear emergency brake cables and repainted my exhaust after having to modify it for my Big Block changeover

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Finally got the rest of my 80's camaro steerig colunm assembly. I was thinking the steering column rod wouldn't fit my power steering but after testing it out it fit perfectly to column and to power steering unit!! Score!!!
Fellas and ladies I can't count the number of times I've bought stuff for my project that ultimately didnt fit or I just no longer had a use for...So big yard sale after I finish the build LOL!!!! Trucks are looking good guys (and gals!) |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Picked up supplies for the addition. Wish the honey-do-list would quit multiplying like a rabbit so I can work on my truck!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Not a lot done on my '67 project lately. Today I pushed it farther back in the garage so I could get the 4Runner part of the way in to remove the starter.
My son stopped by for a while with one of my 17 year old grandsons and we talked trucks for while. I gave him some bulbs for his shop lights and some wheel centers. He is dropping the ceiling down in half of his shop and partitioning it off so he can work on and paint trucks this winter. A few days ago we went to another board member's and checked out his swb 1968 fleet and to talk trucks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Kinda running a day behind, but yesterday I replaced the rear brake hose, finally got fluid to the rear wheels! Added note, if you have your wife pump the pedal, make sure she watches for brake fluid spraying onto the windshield! I left the cap off and apparently there was enough air to spray all over the engine compartment and over the top of the cab! Sure glad I don't have good paint on anything yet!
