Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Well..........on tuesday i got to adjusting my doors so they wouldn't rattle anymore as im going down the freeway. It get's a little tiring pushing down on the door to keep her quiet. Problem solved, except that now that the rattles are gone, i noticed it had an annoying exhaust leak when i drove to and from work. Got underneath last night and noticed a nut missing on my passenger side manifold to exhaust pipe flange retainer(that the name?) the other two were loose. Damn muffler man! Proceeded to put on a replavement nut and tightened the other two but still leaked

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Pretty crappy rainy day out today and I'm still waiting for my son and his friends to come help me lift off my cab (hoping this weekend) so I decided to work on my steering wheel. I stripped off all the repainted white and most of the original red and sanded it smooth. picked up som PC-7 at Ace Hardware and I will start patching the 3 cracks in it tomorrow. Here are pics of the before and current condition. The 3rd pic is an idea I'm considering for the horn center. It's stainless and I will repaint parts of it and leave some polished.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Bought a bottle jack and used it to spread the bent frame horn out and bolted the front bumper all the way on. And then put the bottle jack in the 73' v.w bug i just got for the girlfriend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Thanks A.T. I was getting spoiled with the good weather in Sept. I guess I shouldn't complain, it is Oregon, but there were things that I still needed to get done.

Rolled her out and blew all the dust out of the garage with a backpack blower.
