Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Nothing too exciting. removed the steering column with the help of my youngest son Austin. Removed some shock brackets from the frame and started working on the floors in the cab of my 53suburban.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Sandblasted the bottom of the cab. And a few other areas inside of it. Almost done. Didn't do the steps because they will get replaced. Here is a before and after pic.

Installed my 3rd row Astro van seat. Sure feels better than the old stock bench.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Put the garage to bed so I can park the Chevelle inside out of the rain and snow. Reviewed the final assembly list and marked winter projects that are not dependent on temperature (pink) and stuff I need to buy for finish in the spring (yellow). Most of you probably have a similar list, but I am posting for new guys to show how I stay organized and on track with all the other stuff going on in my life. I keep it taped to the side of my rollaway for easy viewing.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
My list has changed a dozen times since I started. Now it's on a whiteboard. Sorry, that's racist. It's on a caucasion erasable display device.

That's an amazing looking list there OrrieG, but unfortunately I cant see what is at the top of your list. any chance you would be willing to post a better picture, or be able to send me the digital copy of your list. That would be greatly appreciated, It looks like it would help me greatly in getting my list under control.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
First time out of the garage in about a month. It was the first sunny day in a week and a half so we took it for a Christmas tree run.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Does ordering some parts count? I got some of the female quick release fuel line fittings for the 5.3 swap along with 30' of a 3/8" aluminum fuel line so I can plumb the LS swap.
Haven't been outside though... -Panelrodder
