Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I did and have done nothing to my truck for 2 months!!!!!
Instead I bought a boat that is taking all my time. Unfortunately, my time has not been on the water. ![]() Very long list of to-do's to the boat. I have to look and pass by my truck everyday...Brings a tear to my eye seeing her collecting dust.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Loaded up the 3M stripping disk and started cleaning away on the rear of the frame. Raining out AGAIN today some I'm happy to be back in the garage. Just knocking off the top layers of loose rust and whatever before starting tear down of the suspension.

I bought a gallon of red-oxide and a gallon of black primer. The fauxtina paint job begins soon.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
towersddg9, those a/c vents look really, really, really good. Have only seen a similar approach 1 other time and thought it was a great idea - yours looks even better, I think the outer vents look great (and I have seen that approach on one other vehicle, looked great) but your center ones are unique - have a factory look but they are different from factory of course - looks awesome. Nice job!

Edit - A couple additional options - 1. Make an engine turned insert to go over the exact same area that i mentioned painting above 2. Make an insert out of the wild 60's lookin' fender stratocaster guitar pick guard material - several color and/or design options to choos from on that - that would be a very cust look, but would depend on what you were doing with the rest of the truck for it to look right in there - but it's a possibility Last edited by jocko; 06-04-2011 at 08:33 AM. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
jocko thanks for the input, I will try making a template but the whole theme of my truck is to be stock, but just a little better than stock so it is very drivable, comfortable, and when people look at it they will say man did they really look that good back in the day. Of Course they didn't but I want to do is subtly not in your face. I will try the overlay deal but only in black to get an idea of what it will look like. Thanks, again Kieth

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I wish I had an extra dash insert. I am afraid to do anything to my original gauges.
You guys are killing me with all these cool gauge ideas.. Wonder what happened to my imagination? Mabe I lost it in the 70's... LOL Your gauges rock Keith

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
made some transmission mounts for my 62. I'm still running the stock transmission but upgraded to a dropmember. at some point (waaaaaaaay down the road), will put in a newer transmission and use the transmission mount that came with the dropmember kit.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Fought like hell to get the front windshield in with no luck. I got the gasket in the correct way, took a bit but got in on. Seems to need to streach a bit. So after we had problems gettign the glass in, we cleaned up and reset the rubber in place had to tape up a corner to let her set overnight and hope the rubber gets used to the shape.
But even with a set of extra hand we fought and fought. Because of the curved glass we tried to put the corners in and work toward the center on the bottom, a touch of vasilene in the groove. Tommarrow we will try setting the bottom of the glass in the center bottom groove and work outward. We are having a hard problem being able to push the glass down into the channel Anybody got any tips. I have the rope/string and was unsure if you use that all the way around the glass or just the top. I'm about ready to pay a guy to set it, but everybody says it supposed to be easy.

I've never heard anyone suggest installing a 60-63 windshield is easy. The installers I've spoken to universally complained about how miserable these are to deal with. Last edited by markeb01; 06-04-2011 at 10:55 PM. |

Teflon or silicon based grease should be the only lube (if any at all) that touches rubber. Petroleum based greases such as Vaseline will attack and break down rubber. Just an FYI.
