What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

[Mrturner1]

Also got my new lifters and pushrods installed with the new PRW rocker arms

[Already Gone]

Went to the garage where I have my Highlander stored for the Winter and stood looking at the exterior for 5 minutes. I then opened the door and looked at the interior for another 3 or 4 minutes. Can't wait for Spring...

The camper shell was removed and the backglass had to be reinstalled, but when they did, they used the solid rubber seal and not the one w/the chrome trim. A lot of words to let you know I removed the backglass, cleaned up the window opening and reinstalled backglass using a chrome trim gasket, which BTW, was an original, at least 43 years old and it went in like a hot knife thru butter. Maybe an hour job....

That's nice to hear. I have to do the same. Have yet to remove it.

I'm jealous!

[UNEASYRIDER]

Re upholstered my seats for the 3rd time.

[RodnRudy]

Finished up topping off fluids, basic wiring and priming the oil system. Gonna build a fire in her for the first time tomorrow and break the cam in.

[70STOVEBOLT]

Ordered a fuel psi regulator and fuel line and filter kit for the Edelbrock carb. Will try to remember to post pics when I get it installed. Gotta make a bracket for the regulator and figure out the plumbing first.

Took the original rear bumper to the local welder/fabricator today for a new look and function. Will post pics after. I replaced the original a few months ago with a newer "step-bumper" and really dont like it.

[74baggedbug]

Installed these and re-routed my fuel line to help with the vapor lock issue that popped up

[OregonNed]

Scoped out what I need to do to switch floor shifter from B&M to Lokar

[BugzC10]

Organized the work area to have room to work on the truck....does that count?

[Possmguts]

Almost finished up the 68 fender I converted to a 67 and did lower front and rear patches on...

[firedemon]

got some parts for the dash today so I started to clean it up and repaint the rusty tins painted the needles so I can see em too

Just a quick wash and dog ride. But lets all understand one thing, it's really his truck. He only lets me drive because he would rather sit in back. If you got time for a quick story, this is true:

He is actually a well behaved dog. Never jumps on furniture, never jumps on people, does what he is told etc. He won't even jump into the truck until he is told to do so.

So, awhile back I started my truck to go to work. I forgot something, so I jumped out, left the truck running, ran into the house, grabbed whatever it was, and returned to the truck. When I got back to the truck, there he was sitting in the driver's seat. Not only that, but the other dog was in there with him. I was taken back a bit just because it was so out of his personality. Never had he (or the other one) gotten into the truck without being told and certainly never when I am headed off to work.

I scolded them a bit, told him to get out, put them back into the house, and headed off to work. Listening to the radio on the way to work, I actually hear the announcer say, "It is national take your dog to work day." Evidently someone told my dogs, and not me. What the....

The photo is funny because he won't come in while the truck is outside. Just hangs out on the road.

I blew a wad of money, put on a new gasket. LOL Also removed about 5 pounds of crud off the axle, so it should handle much better. Pebble Beach here I come!

[firedemon]

got rid of some rust today

[71CHEVYSHORTBED402]

Did next to nothing this weekend. What a waste. Pending receipt of casters for a hood bench. Though I did modify my heater hose config. for temporary. Other than that I blew another $200, for rally wheel centers and speed nuts.

Also discovered the starter on my 05 Tundra may be going out. Only 69K miles............It's $700 bucks to have done, and I won't touch it. If it were an old Chevy, that's 1/2 hour plus $60-70.......Not happy..............On another note, it was after its first night in the garage in three weeks (needed the space for the rebuild). When I kicked it out the battery problems began. Don't under-estimate the value of storing your vehicles in a garage, both mechanically and cosmetically.

Knocking out the body work...

[Possmguts]

This thing has to be about 500 lbs lighter with the 42 different paint jobs and bondo I have stripped off.... starting to resemble something again...

[MikeB69C10]

Picked up some new wheels on Friday.

Pulled out the a/c (not factory) and all of the wires the previous owner installed to pull a trailer.

Finally got the hood hinges dialed in and I drove my truck for the first time in over a month.
