Decided to paint my calipers and drums today. Did not have anything else to do until I buy a welder.

Adjusted my headlights...
Driver-side was pointing up in the air and the passenger-side was off to the right blinding pedestrians, walking toward me on the sidewalk.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I adjusted my bed on my 70' shortbed. Next I will be removing the stock spot lights, adjusting the front bumper, replacing the grill which has a dent in it, pull out a little dent in the hood, and buff it out (It's all original and in really nice shape considering the age)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
72 cummins which model did you use!!!??? I talked with them and they told me I would have to order the ford center and fabricate my own brackets! So I ended up buying a blue diamond and am going to have to modify it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Tonight was a successful night. It's funny how it goes. One day everything you do takes forever and the next things just sort of fall into place. I was able to build my rear upper shock brackets (to move it up and back) and modify my bed cross sill (spot welded in) to allow clearance for my gas tank. I had a differnt take on the upper shock mount brackets. I used the originals, cut them up and welded them to a piece I had cut out mounting the gas tank. It allowed me to move the mount point 1.75" up and 4.5" back. The shocks will nearly mount in a vertical position. I also moved a frame cross sill that was not square. It was driving me crazy. Each time I walked by the truck it looked like it was leaning to one side. Measured the frame to floor and it is only off 3/8". It was the frame cross sill the panhard bar is mounted to. The passenger side was 1.75" farther to the rear that the drivers side. Removed the rivets (have I said how much I

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Nothing big. I drove it ... with no particular place to go. Great weather today. Ended up in a state park beside the river.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Tried to get the back wheels centered in the wheel-wells, but it was a no go. I guess when you lower these "bad-boys" the triangulation of the trailing arms pushes the wheel centerline backward in the wheel-well.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Put a heater blower motor in. The third trip to the parts store, I finally got a good motor. The first one I brought home squealed worse than the old one. Took it back they didn't have one, had to drive to another town to get one.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Bought a unknown turbo 350 from KrazyRay and when I took it apart it was a fresh rebuild!! The guys next door to my work at Lodi Transmission gave me all new gaskets and seals. So for a total investment of $10 I have a completely rebuilt transmission to go into my truck!! I am so stoked, thanks to board member KrazyRay. He is a super nice guy and awesome to deal with I suggest you look into what ever he is selling, you won't be disappointed.
