Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Replaced the rear brake hose and one front brake hose- then had the wife help me bleed em out. First time I have ever done anything like that with brakes- took the new project for a spin afterwards- clutch a little stiff now- guess I need to bleed it out too- but man I had fun wrenchin on it. Now gotta get a new carb- the ole factory 2jet needs rebuilding so I think I am gonna find a four barrel intake and order a new edelbrock 600 cfm for it. Just havin fun tinkering with it til I collect enough parts to start the tear down and restoration of Ole Blue!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Thank you! They are actually new rally rims from Wheel Vintiques with '67 Corvette centercaps with "Disc Brake" on them. All four rims are 15X7 with 5 on 5 bolt pattern, the rear tires are 275/60-15 and the fronts are 215/65-15.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Working on coats 3 & 4 of primer on the drop spindles for the 67... It has taken about a week with the remodeling of my house going on simultaneously! LOL everytime I have to run out to the workshop for a tool I spray them a coat! LOL but at least I am accomplishing something... First coat of paint should be tonight!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
went to pick up the diff cover gasket today,wrong one of course? decided i would go ahead and install the new grant steering wheel. what a pain in the rear! this was not the first one i have ever installed and today i was reminded how crappy the installation is on these wheels,especially the horn button and contact. i finally got it but geesh. it looks alright but i think this will be the last one i buy.
