Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Drilled and bolted my front 4 link brackets after cleaning and priming the mating surfaces that will get missed by powder coat so far. The No Limit stuff is really nice. I plan to finish up the upper coilover mounts as well today and get things aligned in the rear. Then it's on to the "cross" member placement and I can finish cutting out the old cross members and boxing the frame. Then I'll get it all welded up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
This was done Thursday actually. I took advantage of a calm morning and got the white sprayed on the top. I added some flattener to the paint, don't want it to look too new and shiney.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Cleaned top end parts so they are ready to go when I get my valve job back. Soaked the new polished finned aluminum front differential cover I just got in muriatic acid solution so it was a closer match to the old same type rear cover, slots, and overall condition of my '72.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I spot painted the maroon on the cab, trying to retain most of the old paint job.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I pulled the truck into the garage and started doing the 3spd on the floor to original 4spd on the floor conversion. I cut out the floor to install the high hump. I rust primered floor pans, they had some surface rust on them. I removed the old 3 speed trans. Tomorrow will be another day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Just got home with a tailgate I found locally. Have it just sitting in there. Internal parts need to be installed but hey ..... I'll be able to haul stuff without the fear of said stuff rolling out of the bed.

Replaced the drivers headlight, tossed out the faded dash mat and 86'd the crappy seat cover in my new to me '72.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Went to get "Serious Black" aligned today, but the shops local to me can't fit my truck on thier alignment rack, all except one...have an appt. scheduled for Tuesday at 1:00 pm.
Boy did I have close call on my way back to the house, had someone making a left turn in the left turn lane just to the front of me, then they decided they wanted to go right and turned directly into my lane, no signal, nothing... Almost crapped my pantsbut, I managed to dive over to the curb averting a disaster....man I have got to get my collector insurance done, soon!!!!! Have a happy Father's Day everyone!!! Ben

Fixed my door handle. One of the screws was kinda stripped so I drilled down the hole a little deeper and used a larger screw. Handle fits nice and tight now. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I am hitting the lower part of my offset air cleaner with Permatex.
I may also hit the top part with gloss black. I just don't think satin black looks right. |
