Re: What did you do to your truck today!
A while back I took my back window out because paint was peeling back at a spot over the weatherstrip and surface rust started. I'm glad I took it out because water had been getting behind the old original gasket and the top & bottom was rusty and pitting. I stripped it all clean,put a rust treatment on that turns even pitted metal clean again,etch-primed,smoothed it over (all behind where the gasket covers),sealer primed,and painted it. I just got the gasket from Bil Athey and yesterday put a different slider in with a good latch and good weather seal on the sliding glass (no rattles).
I also replaced the HEI cap & rotor and put new plug wires on. The truck has been sitting since I changed out the interior back in spring. It now has a saddle interior w/new carpet,dash pad,arm rests on mint door panels,saddle tilt column,a/c vents,defrost vents,a chromed glovebox door w/woodgrain,and a tach dash w/re-plated bezel. If I knew I was doing the back window back then I would have painted the interior. When I restore the truck it will get a color change,though,so good enough for now. Now I need to put the saddle Olds 4-spoke sport wheel on. Next,I am finally going to put the 6" lift on with 12.50/37 SSRs mounted on white powdercoated 8.25" steelies.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Pulled the axles out of the rear , only to discover i might need new ones
Pics here - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=536374 By the sounds of the board on h052/72, i might be cheaper finding a new rear end to bolt in. 3:55's do sound better than having 4:10's everyday. Guess that will put a hold on re building the wheel cylinders and replacing shoes. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I hit a coyote with it. The bumpers slightly bent, and the grill got dinged. It wont be hard to fix. The coyote however is unrepairable.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Short day at the "office" today. I finished wiring up the fan and sensor (thanks, Napa), put another coat of neatsfoot oil on the buckets to soak in over the weekend, ran a new and improved electrical line to the solenoid (header burned the last one on the maiden start-up), and basically got re-acquainted with the mess I'd left after a couple of weeks away from the truck.
