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

jimmydean · 08-01-2011, 12:07 PM

I have a list of things the truck NEEDS, then I have a list of things the truck WANTS. I start with the needs list, but it ends up with "While I have the <whatever> off, might as well replace the <whole list of other things>"

I guess I'll worry if I get to a point of buying more than one things for the same thing.

jimmydean · 08-01-2011, 05:48 PM

Barely enough paint for the firewall, put some things on just to see how it looks with the new hardware

I think it will look pretty good when it's all done.

Nice....that's the route I want to go with mine. I'm going to use black for stars and other stencils though.

Went ahead and yanked the cab off the frame since I'd recently pulled the front clip; found dirt/rust stockpile in the old heater…

jbgroby · 08-02-2011, 07:04 PM

Got the door handles mounted. I decided to have a matched set of locks so I won't always have to go through the passinger door to get in.

Set the alarm so we can wake up & work on the truck tomorrow. Fuel & Water pumps to be replaced, as well as having the rear-end checked out. We're moving, and want to use PJ (66 Panel) as originally intended by the manufacture. A cargo truck.

jbgroby · 08-02-2011, 10:33 PM

You Betcha!

LostMy65 · 08-03-2011, 12:08 AM

I did nothing to my 65 today, because I still haven't found it.

Cleaned up the interior, waxed the dash and spotlights, Armoral on the door panels, etc. 3 weekends until Goodguys Spokane.

kieth · 08-03-2011, 09:40 AM

got the brakes squared away, figured out the travel on the vacuum assist and the master cylinder, finally got the brakes bled, had to have brakes before we fire it up........and take it to the exhaust and front end shops. did get the fuel tank in, and the filler neck, and the door in the bed.....had problems with the tailgate paint-----we think it is just too da........ hot and the paint lifted when we tried to remove the masking tape around the letters. Oh well no one said it was doing to be easy...........Just put fuel in it, had to run out and get a remote starter button--------

ITS ALIVE AND RUNNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

SOUNDS GOOD WITH OPEN HEADERS...........................

Dang it brother! That is looking saweettt and i am jealous, LOL. Nice job, keep the pics coming.

suzq044 · 08-04-2011, 05:52 PM

Verified that it was an out-of-round tire causing a bounce in the rear end. Found out we have air-shocks in the rear. We also have just about 100% original truck.. including the muffler lol. That truck runs QUIET. Pics later..

Picked up my heads, pistons and rods from the machine shop today. Hope to put everthing together this weekend.

Finished plumbing up the fuel line, pump and regulator only to find the Holley Blue should be a Holley Blew. Its DOA, good thing I have a spare, nitrous can wait....I need to drive! Been down almost 2 months now. Schedule has been a bit hectic
