Vintage Air. The fresh air vent orifices were totally rotted out, so I opted to cut them off outside and patch the holes to smooth the kick panels for a cleaner look and better watershed from the cowl.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
made use of the old washer hose holes, added two more holes to add engine bay lighting. 0.3 watt leds will never kill the battery

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
My father in law helped me weld up all the exhaust joint leaks while the bed is off. Currently painting my heater box components to get the heater working again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
possmgut your really kickin but on that truck.
it wasnt too bad looking when you first got it but your really showing us what we couldnt see. keep it up. i'll be doing most of the same patch work as econman on this cab i just picked up to build for my 4x4. yesterday i figured before the snow came i would hit a few jys in the area too see if anything new came in....no trucks but i did find a good light harness off a 71-2 smashed front clip since it was only part of a harness i got it for $4. ![]() when i got the 4x4 it only had 2-3 lugs on each wheel so i got 32 matching lugs and a set of 67-68 c30 emblems. and another vac advance mech for the kids truck.it seems he needs one once a year idk why it keeps going out and creating a vac leak. of course i came back and put my lugs on to go for a short ride around town in my pile.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Installed the washer reservoir and bracket that I recently bought. Cleaned up the valve cover, cleaned my air box, found the float on the fuel sender to be full of fuel, adjusted the rocker arms, oh...and installed new seat belts. Passenger seat belt was literally hanging on by a thread.
Ordered a new valve cover gasket and fuel float thing. |

your welcome,oe steel is the best too use but sometimes the patches are just easier. i'm fortunate to have a few yards close by and lots of time at this point.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Replaced all 6 cab mounts. My jack wasn't high enough for the two under the radiator but my engine hoist got it lifted just enough to swap out the worn mounts.
Hooked up the heater hoses to see if the heater core leaked... And what would you expect? It leaked... Then followed it up by not popping the cap off the radiator before popping the heater hose off the manifold ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Played with aluminum tubing today. This was my first attempt ever bending he stuff. Turned out pretty good I think. A tip for those ever wanting to try this. A bend consumes 1 1/4" of tubing in a 90* bend. I assume different benders differ. I'm waiting on a ridged bender to come then I'll tackle the front lines.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Hello, looks like everyone is busy on the truck, me too. I got the front sway bar installed. Used all grade 8 bolts and nylon nuts. Took her out for a ride and my grin got bigger, handles great.
Next is tackling the leaky oil pan, then...on and on. ![]() Tom
