Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Ordered interior fabric, got lucky, it is commercial grade furniture fabric and I found an auction on ebay for a mill end that has twice as much fabric for 1/3 the cost.

Oil change. Was due for one. It'll finally be nice enough (no salt) to go back to daily driving it tomorrow.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I finished making my floorboard templates out of cardboard. I also managed to remove all of the front suspension. I found someone local that is going to buy it from me.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Great picture Red Foreman, seeing pictures of these trucks in public is so inspirational since usually most of our pictures are in workshops.
Case in point, those following my build thread, know I'm upgrading to an over drive. Since there very little information on these as I was considering purchasing one and I take a lot of pictures, I'm show my progress. Gear vendors unit, I read as much as I could. I found no problems with the strength and longevity of the over drive itself. I did however find some had issues with it behind a four speed, which I do not have, and some had issues with the unit that allows you to create a 6 speed out of a 3 speed automatic. The negative remarks I saw were from 5 years ago, I believe the bugs have been worked out of the auto programmer since then. Basically, it attaches to the back of the trans using an adapter for your application. ![]() I don't want to hog the thread with pictures, but I do have more posted on my build thread. 1957 Chevy truck re-rebuild. Yes Ogre, I should have listened and put my build thread here already, we never listen, sorry. ![]() |
