Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
converted the column from a shift on the tree auto to a floor shift column, tore it completely down, cleaned everything, re-greased, and painted.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I swiped some of the rain soaked moss that wants to etch into my stock 46 year old paint. It is starting to get black mold spots growing into pin holes in the paint.
Ah Yeas, time and MONEY to finish my truck. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Media blasting was done on my cab, so I rolled the chassis out to deliver it to the body shop to mount the cab and get them started on metal repair... It's amazing what blasting uncovers...

Truck sits nice, also looks like a bit of tire on the back in the 2nd shot, orange is cool..

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Tonight I put on a new hood to cowl seal from GMC Pauls. Very impressed with the quality as well as the way it fits.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Installed the rear sway bar... Anyone know what shocks I should be using up front with the 5.5 inch drop?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Looks like a clean setup. What brand is that swaybar? Looks like it would need the bed removed to install it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
You would have to unbolt the bed and lift it on on blocks a few inches... Its a No Limit sway bar

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I will check it out. Might be a option for one of my trucks but I want to get one for my Suburban. I have been looking at a few different setups. When you get some road test time please let us know how it works for you.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I've done next to nothing over the last two months. Football season nearly over, it's getting warmer and I'm anxious. Can't wait to get to the front end and engine compartment. Will be a breeze after dismantling the cab.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I know a lot of guys like factory seat covers. I do as well but I work for a leather company that sells only the highest quality leathers so that is what I went with. This past weekend my upholstery guy finished my seat so I added new rubber floor and new sill plates as well. I also added a new shift boot as mine was torn, Its surprising how much quieter it is in my truck!
