Re: What did you do to your truck today?
All I did was drive the truck, all week since it has cooled off considerably this last week or so, 85-90 afternoons and 57-63 mornings, weird that when I take the truck to work in this weather, it takes me twice as long to get there...hmmmm

Drove the truck to breakfast with the car guys, then dropped it off at the body shop! Ready to see it shiny again!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I finished up my rear suspension today except for the track bar which is on it's way. I still have to order and install a new center crossmember to raise the trailing arms but at least it's back on 4 wheels for now. Brakes are probably next. I pushed it out of the garage and washed it up a bit before starting the next phase. Here are a few pics. I also borrowed member Frizzle Fry's idea for relocating the rear shocks. It worked out great. Thanks Friz for the idea.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Yeah I got pretty lucky on this truck. Minimal rust in the front corners of the floors and that's about it except for the passenger side vent assembly or whatever it's called. It's the outer part that the bottoms all pick up crud and then rust out except mine is also rusted at the top. I need a whole new one when I get to the point of rust repair. If you remember I asked obout that parts cab you picked up. But I"m a ways off from needing one, but it's on the list. I kinda grab stuff as I go when I find a great price.

That being said, I recently realized I STILL have to rotate it back in order to paint with the gravity-fed HVLP sprayer. I think I'll try suspending the cab next time. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I replaced my stock steering wheel with a Chevy Lumina wheel that I got at the junkyard for $20. It's much more comfortable for me and doesn't look too out of place. I can't really see the speedo that well because it's a smaller diameter and thicker grip but that's no big deal. Right?
