Went to get "Serious Black" aligned today, but the shops local to me can't fit my truck on thier alignment rack, all except one...have an appt. scheduled for Tuesday at 1:00 pm.
Boy did I have close call on my way back to the house, had someone making a left turn in the left turn lane just to the front of me, then they decided they wanted to go right and turned directly into my lane, no signal, nothing... Almost crapped my pants ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Have a happy Father's Day everyone!!! Ben ![]()

Fixed my door handle. One of the screws was kinda stripped so I drilled down the hole a little deeper and used a larger screw. Handle fits nice and tight now. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I am hitting the lower part of my offset air cleaner with Permatex.
I may also hit the top part with gloss black. I just don't think satin black looks right. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Refreshed my door handles. Not bad for being on the truck 45 years. I'm looking for a NOS LH to match the RH I've got, but I wouldn't be unsatisfied to use these.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Nuts were missing on door for trim panel. JB welded 2 in there. This stuff is great when you don't have a welder. Just need to sand it down. But it holds great.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Man I like that! I need to buy a few for my trucks and maybe a few extra to hand out as Christmas gifts. Never have too many cup holders!

Painted my headache rack and put my light bar and rear work lights back on. She's looking better every day!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
She enjoyed her trip, she has alzheimer's, so her thoughts on the truck are not like ours are, but she knows it belonged to my dad's dad, she liked how the seats felt, how she was able to see out of it (I guess how large the windows are?), and how it felt in the corners, her words were "it stays good", she was making a curve motion with her hands, I took that to mean that she was saying it felt good in the curves, but I'm not sure. She just likes getting out.
we stopped by my dad's brother's house, his eyes about come out of his head, he was almost in tears, he couldn't believe how good it run, especially since it really hasn't been on the road for about 15 years. Last edited by matthamby; 06-25-2016 at 02:17 PM. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Fixed my previous post, removed years and put tears in.
Thanks, I'm not a very sentimental person, but this truck means a lot to me, and my family, it's the only truck my grandpa owned since I have been alive, he bought it new in 1970, I was born in 1975, it's very hard not to call it "grandpa's truck", I know it's mine, but somehow it just doesn't seem right to call it mine, even though I "bought" it from him while he was still living, I gave him $100 for it, basically so the other grandkids (about 40 of us) wouldn't say he gave me something and didn't give it to them. I've been posting on Facebook and they are excited about it also. When I first started, the most common response was "I wondered what happened to that thing". I could go on and on, but I'll stop there! I'm very excited, and so far today I've made excuses to get in it and ride! Last edited by matthamby; 06-25-2016 at 02:30 PM. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I'd like to tell everyone what I did today, but I am in desperate need of a '71 center drag link. Anyone know where I can find one or who has one available? I'll post some picks soon of my preped hood and grille shell.
