Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Sanded and painted two 15x6 steelies. Still just collecting parts. Ordering 15x8s next so that I can start rolling it around. Perhaps drive it around the block a couple times. (even though it has no glass. lol)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
After I got home from work I loaded her up on the trailer and taking her to the 1320 woo-hoo. All the while I hear the ol girl say oh no he is gonna beat the sh*t out of me tomorrow, he is never easy on the trans brake, pulls me up to 7400RPM before slamming next gear, oh dear why me.

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.

I finished up my seat today. Not perfect, but not to bad for my first seat cover.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I swapped out my granny 4 speed for a turbo 400, removed the body lift, and swapped out the 3rd member on my HO52 rear end. Dog tired now!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
That looks very cool. Is that copper or something else?
I welded the broken spot welds around the door jamb and on the windshield frame, cleaned up the welds on the new rockers, undercoated the hump cover and started cleaning up the workbench and around the jimmy so I have room to work on the paint prep for the front half of the tub. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Saturday, finally bolted in bucket seats and center console after adding support for the seats a few weeks ago and worked on putting in a headliner. The headliner is tougher than I expected. Hoping to finish these up today.

Scuffed up my set of 8" rallys to paint only to find I've already used up my Argent paint. Doh!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I did a repaint on my bezel, too. Just the outer "rim".
Put it aside to dry and climbed under the bed. Pulled the lenses, the light and back-up "pods" for cleaning and connection inspection/cleaning. Put in a new rear tail light harness. Messy, dirty job. Replaced the main tail light lenses. Can't get the marker lights working. BU lights not working either. Have to check the switches and connection up front. It's a new (and very nice) steering column. And, the cab's a convert from a stick to an automatic. So, I have to get familiar with the switches and switch position adjustment. When I was pulling the dash from it's second mock up, I found a couple of dash mount nuts I'd missed. Put some rubber covers on a few of the dash screws that might get too close to the wiring when it's all buttoned up. Still trying to figure out the brake fluid leak. Wiring, wiring, and more wiring. Man, you should have seen what one of the P.O.'s of that bed did to the wiring on that harness. ![]() Upside down lens mock-up...Hahahaha!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got some sem color coat and freshened up my visors and arm rests, and put them in. I installed the windshield, and put most of the inside back together. The carpet should be here on Tuesday. She is weather tight now, so I can park it outside and bring the box in, and hopefully get that done in the next week or two. It sucks having a super small garage!!!
