Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I threw away this POS EZ power steering adapter I bought because it didn't even have the right bolt patter for the P/S box I was using nor did the bolt holes line up on any of the 11 P/S boxes I checked in the wrecking yard. I should have bought one from Captain Fab...
I am just going to find a 69-72 lwb frame to use on my build.... changing the frame horns and rear cab brackets must be easier that playing games trying to put P/S on my 66...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got a parts truck or future build for my 6 year old daughter. My wife won't be happy when she gets home (I told her I was buying a frame).

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I'm running baby! Just gotta bleed the brakes to help the mushy pedal. I haven't driven my truck since last July. Next weekend is my 13th wedding anniversary,and my wife I went on our honeymoon in my truck! It will be cool as usual to be out and bout on our anniversary in the truck.
It was good to just sit there and listen to the cam thump and bump! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Just tell her you bought the frame and they threw in the rest of the truck for free. Nice score.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
That is actually the truth. I can't complain about getting close to a whole truck for $100. My wife took it pretty well. My daughters reaction was priceless, she crossed her arms, put the scowl I on her face expected from my wife and just said "Oh daddy", turned and walked away to tell mommy what she thought of it. Other than that, and my white dog walking under it in the garage and coming out with a gear oil stripe on her back from the tranny, it's gone fairly well. This is the truck that Jerry Moss was selling parts off of. He still has a few other parts. He is into the 67-72's and wanted it out of there. I am happy to oblige.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Pulled the rear end out of a 69 LWB at the local pick n pull yard to replace the rear end in my 66 LWB that is about to go. Now praying this new rear end, I mean used, doesn't howl like the old one.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I bought this truck about a month ago and I finally got the old stuff cut off and finished the ECE 4-6 drop kit on the back. Hopefully the front will go a little smoother. I'm putting the disc brake upgrade on the front with drop spindles. Here a few photos.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I like the grill, are you going to put it on your truck if so will it bolt up. What do you think it will cost to chrome it.
