Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Ok, this isn't a "Man Cave" this is a "She Shed" but I just finished assembling this Husky adjustable height two drawer table I got for my wife. HOLY CRAP this is a super quality, strong table! You could built a motor on this thing! We got it at the Home Depot for $229. One without the drawers is about $199. No kidding, wish I had this in the garage, if I had the room one would be there tomorrow. It comes with nice locking 3" caster wheels. It's model number HOLT5202BJ1/307723266

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I started cleaning up the casting on my high flow water pump for the 292. Step one is just getting down to clean metal and remove casting marks then I'll start smoothin. Should I use high temp, self etching or 2k primer?

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
First post this year.
Its wet and nasty outside so not to much I can do on my truck until it warms up a little. I want welting on the rear fenders so this is the perfect job for indoors. Earl

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I worked on building a seat riser for my 47. I couldn't find a new riser, so I built one.

I live near you. Ditto on the wet and nasty. Six inches of snow at my house, power out for two days.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Hey MPC. Yeah it does kinda take the incentive away. Lower elevation snow is pretty much gone but its only January. Used to enjoy winter weather but not any more. We just gotta wait for warmer weather.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Thanks, idbeast, but I'd have to have a place to put it (and I'd have to get it to Ohio). Maybe you can make somebody out on the west coast happy? Thanks for thinking of me though.

I also had them change the color back of the seats from orange to black. I think it's looking good!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I got my axle back from Pete and Jakes. I took me over 2 years and some legal action to get the spindles made. Not Pete and Jakes fault, they have been awesome. The problem was that the brake kit I wanted, 12/88" 6 piston nickle plated only fits a Heidts spindle pin profile. Many said it can't be done some said it would cost thousands. In the end my head engineer on my dry ice plants that I build did it for free. I still have to alter the caliper brackets but I'm getting close.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I just brought the beast home from the upholstery place to work on putting the wiring down the center console and hook up my power window switch and power door lock wiring.
