Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I nearly finished stripping the wrong brackets and such off my 71 frame that is going under my 66. I have the correct rear body mount supports to change out along with the front core support mounts and radiator support/cross member. Also finished my frame jig to hold the frame while I work on it. Tomorrow I should be able to get the last parts off the frame, wire the new parts that are going on the frame and haul the whole thing to the sand blaster. I will be picking up a new data cable for my camera phone to post photos of the project. The paint, new bushings, grade 8 shoulder bolts etc. are sitting in my roll away waiting for the fun to begin.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
All I did was drive the truck, all week since it has cooled off considerably this last week or so, 85-90 afternoons and 57-63 mornings, weird that when I take the truck to work in this weather, it takes me twice as long to get there...hmmmm

That being said, I recently realized I STILL have to rotate it back in order to paint with the gravity-fed HVLP sprayer. I think I'll try suspending the cab next time. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I replaced my stock steering wheel with a Chevy Lumina wheel that I got at the junkyard for $20. It's much more comfortable for me and doesn't look too out of place. I can't really see the speedo that well because it's a smaller diameter and thicker grip but that's no big deal. Right?

Drove the truck to breakfast with the car guys, then dropped it off at the body shop! Ready to see it shiny again!
