Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Opened my package of 4-row radiator brackets from a forum member. I also spoke with the media blaster, he has my (original) fender cleaned up and epoxy primed. I should be able to get it on Friday(?).

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Finally got the under dash Blazer only lights I bought from Roger Koop installed and I used LED bulbs. I also have an LED bulb in my dome light. They were plug and play when I figured out where to plug into. Piece of cake if you have the factory dome light switch on the door jamb. I took the pic inside the garage with the overhead door down and I think it will be brighter in the cab when its dark outside.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Ordered an aluminum radiator from KKS Motorsports. I'm not a fan of aluminum radiators but it was much cheaper than having mine recored and hopefully it fits better than the copper/brass one from RockAuto.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Been chasing a slow, persistent, and extremely elusive coolant leak with no luck. Even had the shop pressurize the system and give a look-see. Nothing. I don't drive it often anymore but the coolant level continues to slowly drop. Need to find the leak before I change coolant (overdue, btw).
Found evidence of seepage where the heater hose hits the radiator. Replaced the heater hose, installed new clamps, and snugged all other clamps. Then did something I swore I would never do, out of sheer desperation. Poured in some stop-leak. Time will tell if it's "fixed". Keeping my fingers crossed -- getting tired of adding Prestone and watching it slowly disappear.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got my electronic flashers along with the LED front signal light bulbs installed so now I have LED's in the tail lights, side marker lights and front signal lights. Next up, brighter headlight relay set up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Did some block sanding and created some more rattle can fauxtina. Left dents in gate since it is too beat up. Will eventually need a new one.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
My wife painted the inside of the fenders a couple of weeks ago while I was at work. Started cleaning trim and putting it back on.

Lugged the '70 c-10 350/TH400 donor truck home. I only need a few parts, then I'll be getting rid of it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Decided to lower back of my 69 C20 1.5 more inches with some drop blocks. U bolts were rusted in place. Still have one half of one to get out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I rolled the 69 out of the shop for the first time in twenty years under it's own power. Yeah, twenty years. Time does get away doesn't it? I've not been in any hurry.
