What did you do to your truck today!

[502ms]

I have been driving my Bagged C10 everywhere, and its the Same story for me. People love it...ask questions. Yesterday, I was doing a photoshoot with some models, and waitin for them to change clothes at a Target. While I waited, a young lady and her dad stopped by and asked permission to take pics of my truck. They loved it, and asked the usual questions: what color am I painting it (if at all), how do I Drive s o low, how much horsepower do I have, etc. Then there are the driving thumbs up. I love my truck

I bet people still ask you "What year is your truck"

[Neitzertjohn]

Every day some one ask , LOL

[Rdrdave]

didn't do anything to it, but did score a steering wheel and inner door grab handles for it at the swap

[hayhauler71]

Spent all day buffing it out then waxing it. Next week pulling the wheels off to buff them out

[mtruckr]

Drove the '69 home on Thursday eve... could not get out of low gear in the TH400. Made it to the house with law enforcement behind me. Realized on Fri that the hose had disconnected from the modulator. No ticket-

Finally got the deluxe heater removed from the '66 on Sat. Found the 20 year supply of mouse bedding in the fan area... will prob get 1 more MPG this summer with the extra 20 pounds removed.

I feel like I got a lot done today. I finished bending up my trans cooler lines...what a pain in the a$$. Spent way more time planning than bending, all the planning paid off though. I got my A/C lines figured out finally. Just a couple of hundred more dollars on fittings and I should be ready to charge the system with freon. Got my radiator hoses put on. I got to thinking...a few fluids and a battery and I could start this bad boy up. Maybe next weekend.

[67cheby]

[LakeAnna]

So... what do you plan to use on the girl???

[67cheby]

line-ex spray in liner !

[Scott Webster]

Acquired some used tires to slap on my 10" wide rims to see how they work and look.

[firemanmario]

went from no grill, to billet grill. Now I need to find a billet emblem.

[cobrajet21]

I ended a 3 year break from working on it and cut the lower cowl and firewall off of it with my new plasma cutter.

Working on my new cab so I cut off the passenger side of my rocker panel to replace it. Now I have to go buy a welder and being a newbie who has never welded anything, this should be like going to hell in a handbasket.

[RossRinSD]

We all have to learn some time...

What welder are you thinking about?

For sheetmetal, the smaller 110V welders will reduce the amount of burnthrough. I'd really go with a MIG, that fluxcore stuff sucks, or a TIG if you have the money...

I have a Hobart 135 that has worked great for 15 years for me. I think now they only build 140's

[VDOG]

From HomeDepot this is the complete kit for 280.00 just need to buy a gas bottle. True we all have to start somewhere, but looking at what I have to do, im not feeling this. Dont want to spend money if im not interested in welding.

Once you start sticking metal together, it opens up the door for all sorts of new projects. You'll be able to make, build, and fix all sorts of cool things.

This was my latest, winch bumper, tow bumper, and rocksliders.







I do have all my rocker panel replacements, just need to find the time and get to work on them.

[Mike Bradbury]

VDog, that little welder is just the ticket for learning. It will be great for body panels and light duty stuff, but like Ross just said once you start you'll find all kinds of jobs to do.
Start with .023 solid wire (this will minimize the burn through) and a bottle of 75/25 argon/CO2 mixed gas and you should be fine for the body panels. To prevent burn through make a series of tack welds strung together (this is called triggering) but only after you have made a bunch of tack welds all around the perimeter.

Finally got my evaporator plumbed and bolted in place...what a pain (I say that a lot lately). I have all of my air conditioning lines and heater hoses installed too. Pretty good for just a few hours after work.

Thanks guys!! After I cut or butchered that panel behind the rocker that I was not supposed to cut, I got discourged. Do I use a cutoff wheel to remove the rusted parts or do I use a sawzall? Again I have no direction so im just going at it.

Bought a can of

18 oz. Arctic Freeze® "Ultra Synthetic" R-134a + w/reusable Dispenser/Gauge
Driving to work it was right at 32 degree's.
It's the coldest it has ever been.
