Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Yes you can put a GMC grille on a Chevrolet, There are no rules in hotrodding, just ask Chip Foose. At least I didn't put whole bunch of door knobs on it! Just kidding Losthope, your grille looks awesome!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Still debating whether or not to remove the factory door mirrors and go back to the peep mirror I started using around 1970. It's a lot of work filling the holes and repairing the paint for something that doesn't need to be done at all. The peep mirror sure looks better though and I like that it's much less vulnerable since it tucks in tight against the body.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I met a guy and bought a 12 bolt 5x5 lug rear end for the 1965 C10 I am going to start restoring soon. Getting the right parts takes time and effort in order to get your truck built to your specifications.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Today I took the truck out to do some hiking.
![]() Tomorrow evening I've got a little date, so I washed the old girl inside and out. Paints a little wacky, sure, but at least she'll be clean and presentable haha. ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Separation! My son and his friends came over today and lifted the body off the frame for me. All I had to do was supervise.
![]() Now I can finish up the frame and then attack the body work. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Thanks for the offer Less. It looks like you've got your hands full with your projects. Same offer back at you. If you need some help with anything, give me a hollar. You tellin me you don't like that upside down sanding? LOL I'm hoping I can get the cab on it's back or somethiing before I get to that point. I'm getting to old for all that bending and twisting. It just kicks my ass.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Im begining to think this truck is cursed.....
I fix one thing and something else goes north, However today I think I may have won the battle. After fixing the leaking speedo cable and checking all the trans lines. I think I got it to stop bleeding all over my driveway. I then moved on to the running off the battery issue and put a new regulator on at which point it still wouldn't charge the system. So after taking a little break 2-3 hours......... I rewired the alternator and bingo we now have 14.2 v to the battery .....I hate wiring issues. So all in all it was a good day even thought it looked like the truck was eatting me alive most of the day. lol Last edited by thebatii; 10-17-2011 at 01:14 AM. Reason: spelling |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Finally got around to lowering the torsion bars on the Mistress and rolled her outside to get a glimpse of the new ride height. Over the weekend got the 327 fired up and got to hear the gear drive whining. Sounds sweet I will post a video of it running as soon as I figure out how to get it off my phone....lol
