What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II - Page 126 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Possmguts · 01-10-2016, 10:27 AM

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.

wish i had time and money to finish my truck

mud.man.rj · 01-13-2016, 12:06 AM

Time and money aside, looks like you have a great start..

toolboxchev · 01-13-2016, 12:21 AM

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.

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...

hayhauler71 · 01-13-2016, 09:31 PM

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

Getting around to the heart transplant in my 67.

OregonNed · 01-16-2016, 02:37 AM

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.

Econman · 01-16-2016, 09:14 AM

Ordered a new inner cowl, a couple of cab supports and rocker panels from Cooper Restorations. Thanks, Jeff!

Possmguts · 01-16-2016, 11:17 AM

Installed the rear sway bar... Anyone know what shocks I should be using up front with the 5.5 inch drop?

Looks like a clean setup. What brand is that swaybar? Looks like it would need the bed removed to install it.

You would have to unbolt the bed and lift it on on blocks a few inches... Its a No Limit sway bar

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.

Replacing a heater/ac lever, replaced gas sending unit. Trying to get the fan switch working on all three speeds. 71 C10

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 01-17-2016, 06:30 PM

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.

68 Stepper · 01-17-2016, 10:18 PM

Put a coat of paint on the upper control arm and cross member. Used POR15.

greywurm · 01-17-2016, 11:15 PM

Finished redoing motor and transmission mounts... Now that its all tightened up, got a pretty good shake going when sitting at red lights. Grrrr

Ken B · 01-19-2016, 07:26 PM

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!

Possmguts · 01-19-2016, 08:08 PM

I was gonna go out and see what I could get done... but then out of nowhere a 3 hour nap happened...
