Rust repair and body work is done. Got some paint on her. Custom PPG not the original "Medium Red" and not quite "Hugger Orange".

**SoCoC10** · 01-28-2017, 08:25 AM

New Goodmark bed sides.

Painted my later model console fawn beige to fit in between my Procar seats in my Vermillion 67

berch 69GMC · 01-28-2017, 10:25 AM

Paint looks great SOCO.

Dave K. · 01-28-2017, 04:40 PM

Not a darn thing done on the truck today, busy in Matera, Italy working on another classic piece of iron..... it is a 72 however.... good patina as well! Lower roller shafts are worn so it's got a drop kit I guess you would say...

Metaldoc · 01-29-2017, 06:20 PM

Started my day off with a board meeting, it went well. Got most of the cutting done and shaped. New tunes for summer.

NoStopN · 01-29-2017, 11:58 PM

I'm a day late, but I got a bed to replace the farm boy special on my truck when I bought it.

Thanks! Got the new windshield put in today.

chefk85 · 01-31-2017, 12:35 PM

Replaced radiator. Had to drill the spot welds on the saddles and emove them thus only using the actual bracket and rubber to hold the new rad in. It was too big. Guess ill order some 4 core saddles. Also installed new heater core. That was fun. The rubber stuff that seals it up held it there REALLY well. Thought I might break the case trying to pry it off the firewall. That was yesterday. Today will be filling with coolant and checking for leaks and hoping I finally have heat and a sealed cooling system!

Is that a non-shade-band windshield? If so...Where did you get that? Install it yourself?

Newguy71 · 01-28-2017, 07:49 PM

Oil change, coolant flush. Replaced my temp sending unit to no avail. .. oh and then grounded the 12 volt peg of my temperature gauge.... Now when I ground the temp wire it wont peg out to hot...

Did I fry her? Did I just burn out the ceramic resistor? Blow a fuse that I don't know about? I've been through the manual and these threads a little. Anyone have any thoughts as to the damage I did? Know of any other threads discussing this business? Btw, first time posting! This forum is great and I am very thankful!

CST10 · 01-30-2017, 09:27 PM

Changed the tranny fluid, rear gear fluid, repacked the front bearing, checked all the brakes then a good cleaning for both Holdie and Samson. Been a great day.

I'm a stepside man but I got to tell you that white fleet just looks absolutely classy. Solid white and all trimmed out is hard to top.

Thanks for the compliment. The ol girl has a 462 BB in it to boot.

It's up for truck of the month but I don't think she will win. Wish she could but I think the completion is tough.

**paul blair** · 01-30-2017, 11:48 PM

Changed exhaust manifold "donuts" in my 69 k/10 and took a test run to the beach--good place to clear my mind what ever is left of it! Lots of water out there-3,700 miles or so to Europe.
