A truly rust free passenger side is certainly hard to find

Yesterday me and a friend used my Burb and took my newly built SBC to the shop so it can be installed in its new home, my C10.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
One of mine, drivers side at front, needed a small patch. Took to a shop and it was fixed properly.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Raining today so I repainted the grille bowtie I think the color is to red and shiny compared to the fender emblem . I used satin paint maybe flat would be better

Your new paint looks pretty much like they did when brand new. [At least as far as one can tell on a computer. In person, in full sunlight, it may be more obvious.] Red is a color that tends to fade from Sun exposure. Keep what you got and move on. If it bugs you, use the same color on your other badges, so they all match.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Need to clean up the engine bay but I finally got the last little parts to get my belt drive system installed. This is the same setup I run on my suburban. Stock fan shroud with a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee electric fan works great in the arizona heat. Having ac next summer will be so nice
