Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Started my cummins and found a leaky radiator. Well, ordering that and fabricating exhaust, it was kind of loud with it straight out of the turbo.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
The time had come to replace the original, broken, rusting out, mirror heads.
For less than $25.00 for both sides, the white heads have been replaced with stainless steel backed ones. Both new mirrors weighed less than one of the originals and the high angle one for the passenger side has a bit more distortion in the mirror than the original. I'd loved to have stayed original, but the cracked mirrors were posing a danger to safe driving and both units were rusting out at the top. One thing is for sure. The new ones won't last 40 years like the originals did. The new ones are K-Source West Coast Mirror Head (Part No. RH066) from Advance Auto Parts. They are priced at $16.49 each, but there is an online coupon code for their website of A123 which takes $10 off a $30 or more purchase with free pickup in store. That got my total down to $22.98 plus sales tax. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Hey all!
I'm a newbie! Well actually I've been cruisin the forum for a while, but finally decided to register. Dadsworktruck (my dad) and I removed rusty rear cross members, shock mounts, and front bed mounts from "one-piece" yesterday. I blasted the 2 flat bed mounting plates today since they were salvageable, and painted them satin black. Did some other work in the shop as well as some sanding on the rear of the cab and hole/dent repairs around the passenger side rear of the cab. Hopefully we can make ole one-piece look pretty decent with a little time and alot of sweat and busted knuckles. Bed mounts: |
