Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I've got brakes! Filled the new brake system with brake fluid and blead the air out. Found a couple of leaks but nothing a little tightening wouldn't fix.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Today I replaced my starter, then spent the rest of the morning cussing and scratching my head trying to figure out why the truck would not start.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Swapped these unknown seats out for these seats(dodge)
Also added retractors for all three seats,and added a third 67 seat belt n buckle for the little guy in the middle (all three of us can ride in it now  ) and did lots of cleaning on the inside (po's must've smoked a lot in the truck green sticky film all over everything you can see it on the gauge cluster in the first pic yuck)

Restored my badges that havent been on the truck since the first one caught on fire. Nice to have the original badges back on my truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Nothing more prettier than a LWB truck done right. Absolutely Fabulous perfect looking stance. Very well done.
I like the wheels also!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Working on cleaning this up today.
Figured I'd better take some pics and do some labeling before I pulled all the fuses and started rubbing the markings off.  Glove box is in today, more (and, hopefully) final) adjustments on the Vintage Air A/C and Defrost cables, some wiring under the dash over by the passenger's side. Boy, my back's sore.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I ordered my 5 lug conversion Axel kit from Mikes Bump & Grind Garage...
I cant wait to get them installed & loose the "mixed" rim look I've been running ever since I made my disk swap.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Finally finished my stainless steel brake lines. They didn't come out exactly how I would have liked, I had to re-bend a stainless "kit" to get them to fit. I changed a few things so it wasn't only problems with the "kit" but I would have been better of bending my own lines from straight sticks of stainless tubing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Been working for three days cleaning on paws truck. Got four shows coming up back to back.Done a few things I have been putting off for a while also.Happened to think about the spare underneath it. I dont think I would trust it anymore though.Original also
I have seen on hoods where the whole thing underneath was semigloss black,then between the braces was painted black,and then painted a solid color like mine what would look best on this one with it being that bright red.I thought paint between the braces satin black.what say you? Have fun this weekend everyone and be careful on the road. |
