Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Installed new distributor, coil, rotor, cap, wires, plugs, set timing, repaired my fuel line, GOT MY NEW 63 started for the first time!!!!!! Unfortunately I still can't figure out the fuel issue, the carb is still dry. All I can think of is replacing the fuel pump. But what a relief to hear the engine start. The truck didn't run when I bought it so I am pretty happy not to have to replace an engine.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
tightened up all my bed bolts, welded a filler for the gas fill place, worked on my interior, and checked everything after doing the rear axle flip and installing a c-notch.
Everything is looking great! Getting ready to make this my DD for awhile.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Today, CB radio install, made a bracket that sits on the floor for the CB, holds CB/mic. Later, welding the cross bard for my rear facing trailer hitch receiver box onto frame, and mounting the box, moving the license plate, adding a slider hitch receiver holder and chain loops.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
today i got the new radiator that came with the truck out of the box and in the truck and noticed it had the built in tranny cooler in the bottom that i didnt think it had so thats a plus(the radiator probably cost the $400 i paid for the truck) ....messed around under the dash looking at the wiring which seems to be all intact from factory and not spliced together which surprised me...found and installed a brand new fuel pump that was under the seat that i needed for the motor i pulled out of the wrecked 65 since the one it had got snapped of in the crash(another plus)....then i rolled around on the creeper looking at the underside of the truck checking everything out for about a half a hour....then went inside made a few calls to some friends looking for some usable tires.....posted a add on craigslist looking for a th350 and a guy is going to sell me one tomorrow for $75 bucks. Not alot done but felt like a productive day
