Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Some of the firewall and floor work I've been doing. I think I have worn out my hammer and dollies.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Today... I sat and looked longingly at photos of it and wished it was here so I could work on it.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Yesterday I build the pipe from Driver's exhaust manifold to where I'll hang the muffler & found a place to put the first exhaust hanger.
Today I ordered some glass packs for it.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Man you are more organized than I am. Do you use a spreadsheet, like Excel, to make your to-do lists? How are your headings labeled? I don't have a list like that, I usually just know in my mind what I want to do next and go with it. Or get sidetracked and do something else, LOL.
One thing I have done with this truck is kept a spread sheet with a very accurate listing of parts, date purchased, where I got them, and how much I've spent. I've never done that with a project before. |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I too have a cost spreadsheet. Both are in excel, headings are Work, Task and Buy. Work is broken down into clean, fabricate, sand, paint and install. Early on it was easy to stay on track without it, but then I found myself going in circles because I had forgotten to buy something, or backtracking. Also needed a sense of what I could do that did not require funds, or like last year over the winter that was not temperature sensitive. I also find that with so much else going on with my business, wifes stuff, taking care of my Dad's affairs, ect. once I get something down on paper my mind can focus on other stuff.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Got real tired of looking at the ugly greasy sheet of plywood in the bed of my pickup. But didn't want to spend mucho bucks at this time for a fancy bed redo (with walnut burl wood and polished chrome strips). Ya Right! Maybe someday when I win the Lotto! The original wood and metal is still there, but 60 years old, whats left of it! So, I did what any old carpenter would do under my circumstances, I sided over it. A sheet of T111 exterior siding, a few deck screws, and a quart of "Varathane stain+poly" Doesn't look to bad from 20ft, and If it gets beat up (which it will, cause I use my truck) I can touch it up with more Varathane. The Varathane is water based and goes on nice.

Mounted the box and rear fenders. Waiting for the exhaust tip for the other side and will bolt them up. Still have a few things to do but ready for spring.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Cut, bent and installed the last piece of brakeline. Will fill and bleed next week. If I get my throttle issue solved I could drive around the block.
