Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed the lower courtesy lights, boy what a difference. Also replaced defrost hoses, not that I need them at this time of year but now the air at least blows onto the windshield.

I finsally got off my duff and installed my powerbrakes ~ note the correct GM vacuum hose and clips , brackets etc. ~ it took me a while to find the bell crank and related parts , they're in good shape but were nearly frozen having never been greased when new .
Lucky there was no wear , all I had to do was take it all apart & wire brush then grease everything and Lo ! I now have killer good brakes and am happy .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got my front brake hoses in and found new banjo bolts, and ordered a shiny new set of headers that hopefully fit

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I guess it's the same for all of us. I seem to get about a half or less done than I think I should every "wrenching day".
Today, I planned to get all the wiring done in the cab. Instead, the gage cluster is still out and laying on the floor. But I did get the wiring done and finished for the cig lighter (no smoking in the truck...but it'll get used for all the silly electronic stuff ...like recharging the phone...), glove box light, patch in for the driver's electric seat, finish connections at the fuse block for the windows, panel lights, a couple of grounds, dead-ended a few of the P.O.'s scragglers, and organized the wiring. I'm hoping the gage cluster, aside from the tach connections, will be plug and play. Should be, I've mocked it up five times. But you all know how THAT goes. ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Today, I got the hood ready for primer (epoxy) in the morning----along with that I got both front fenders sanded down, putty touched up, inside of fenders sprayed with chassic coat---and they are ready for primer as well in the morning. Have to primer early before the heat rises. Within the last week I finished up the step side bed, fenders,tailgate , etc and got the epoxy primer on them . Should get the cab back soon------ my "solid" cab ended up needing inner, outer rockers as well as kick panels and both floor sections. Oh, and work to the air boxes on both sides!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
You know what, nothing to my truck but a little abuse, used to working on it "every" day for the last 4 months, but today cruised and enjoyed it, finally.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I got my front clip off so I can swap out the old tired crate motor for the 1970 LT1 out of my camaro. Just need to finish cleaning and painting before I can get the motor back in it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Amazing what getting some help can do...I've been a one-man-show for almost three years on this build.
Today, Butch (who is going to do body work) had a free day so he came to help on some "mechanicals" from the punch list. While I (almost) finished up the under-dash wiring and installed the parking brake and tin cover, Butch chased...and maybe stopped... what I thought was a brake fluid leak, filled the differential, cleaned up the routing of the wiring on the rear harness, started the locking down (welding) of the roll pan. Then, together, we bled the brakes and adjusted the e-brake. A good day.
