Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Well today I went to an autowrecker about an hour from
My house. My friends dad and I went there looking for front fenders and although there were 6 different trucks I had no luck as all were rusted out. I did however, manage to find a factory rearview mirror from a 64. I'll be putting it my 62 as I've been looking for one for nearly 2 months. Just wondering though, how much would this one be worth? It's in fair condition, although it needs a good polishing. The rivets also have surface rust on them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Well I didn't really get much done to it today. Painted the hood up to make it more presentable. I'm moving at the end of next week and until I get it into the garage I don't want it to be an eyesore to the new neighbors. I also started putting misc. truck parts in the rear of it to take to my new house. Gas tank 3 batteries a set of heads bunch of tires and rally rims. The suspension is officially gone. Its sitting on the bump stop brackets. Tomorrow I will finish the steering and try to get the brake lines on for temp brake lines and put some gas in it so I can drive it to my new house.
I can't wait to finally have a garage

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

I spent the morning busting down my old wheels and tires and installing new wheels. It took me awhile because I do my tires by hand and it's pretty hard work dismounting tires from the old rally wheels.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

It's been 1 month and 8 days since I got it.

In that time, I have converted it to 84 front end, all powdercoated and rebuilt.

Got a used engine and trans which I cleaned and refreshed,




Converted the rearend to 72 model 5 lug, ECE lowering stuff, all new brake lines front and rear.

I'd have done it faster but I keep get covered over with powdercoating jobs. I quit advertising at all or even trying to get work but people keep driving up and dropping off jobs just the same.

I lost the Suburban in a divorce actually. A member on here bought it and is actually doing a build thread on it somewhere.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Cut a chunk out of my frame for the c-notch. Still gotta make the cuts on the other side and then weld everything up. There's just not enough time in the day.

But I also had to spend some time getting my new toy ready to race tomorrow('06 KTM 200XC).

And here I thought I was the only guy left on the planet that knew how to do tires the old way. I've had a manual bead breaker and tire spoons since I was about 14. There have been times I used a bumper jack or jack stand and floor jack to break the bead. It was sure easier before wheels with safety beads became standard. But of course that far back tires and/or inner tubes had a tendency to rust to the wheels! I don't suppose too many of todays tire store employees would even know how without all the power equipment.

My father and I have done it manually too. We done because it was the poor mans way of doing it. It will really give you a one heck of a workout! Gojo hand cleaner worked well for us. Tell you what..... Those Mickey Thompson Hides were one more challenge on my truck and his Rambler American. Both hides have tubes in them. Man I'm getting tired just thinking about it

Same here. Hand cleaner for lube. I built a fixture to use my shop press to break the beads though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Well I had high hopes for the day. I got my steel and I was going to cut and tack up my rear frame rails but a co-worker hit a gnarly weld with the band saw and rounded all the teeth over just before I was going to slide my 2x4 up in there to cut. So I set it aside and brought my bed back into the shop and welded up the bolt holes on one side for the 73+ fenders. Put some paint over the fresh grinds and put it back outside.
