Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got a new master cylinder and wheel cylinder installed and took the dog for a ride...we lost his brother a week ago and thought a ride would do him good.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Loosely bolted it all back together with the NEW-TO-ME parts I have been accumulating over the last year to make sure everything fit.
  Then blew it all back apart to finish a couple of rust repairs on the fenders and paint the inside of the cab.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I bought my truck from my stepfather who bought it from a stranger on a handshake. So, what did I do to my truck today? I sent a nicely worded letter to the registered owner asking that they work with me to transfer the truck. I hope they don't have sellers remorse after 10 years !!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Small mod but makes it much easier to plug in the trickle charger. I don't drive it as much as I did and the new alarm and remote start have a small drain on the battery all the time so after sitting a week are so the battery is dead.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Haha I know right! He had all sorts of money sunk into it too but the restoration isn't done so he never registered/insured it. I am scared this doesn't go well....... rules here are I wait 30 days after my sent registered letter with no response to gain ownership. It is going to be a long month. I will post in 30 days with the outcome because that day I hope to hug my truck instead of kissing it goodbye.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I got my front bumper and all front lights working, even got my mirrors on. Took my truck on its first real drive , about 40 miles. I accomplished my goal of getting it on the road before the de-icing and road salt come down in NorthEast ohio

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got my new to me mirrors installed yesterday after Church! Grinding those old rusted bolts took a lot longer than I expected, I suppose the fact that the grinder needs a new blade had nothing to do with it.
     They look like mirrors off of a Ford, but I have no idea what they actually come off of, a older guy that I met at the local trash dump gave them to me, he come over to talk to me about the old girl and he offered to give me a gas tank (that when I got it, realized it wouldn't work), while I was there, he took me down to his shop where he used to work on vehicles and told me anything I could find that I could use, I could have, we looked through a lot of stuff, and I found the old mirrors. I am very appreciative to him for them! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
After about a year of working on and off again on my stepside I finally got her off jackstands and on some wheels. Still got some other things to do before she hits the road but Im getting closer.

While painting the bed my gun started messing up. I chose to pull it back off and repaint it today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Finally replaced my front parking lamps/turn signals. Parking lamps haven't worked in many years, and the driver's side turn signal recently died. That lens has been broken for a long time, too. The sockets were totally shot in both lamps. Got new lamps from board vendor Classic Industries and couldn't be happier with them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I picked up my rallys from the powder coater yesterday. I went with their wheel silver and cleaned up the center caps, rattle canned the bases bright silver and chrome polished the rest. Tires are ordered and I'm searching for nice trim rings. I need two inchers for the front and threes for the rear.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got rid of the 20 year old exhaust system and swapped out the ram horns with some summit brand headers and some flow master 40s that dump right before the rear end.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
In the words of the infamous C Downs, "You better get rid of that rubber fuel line or you'll burn her to the ground". LOL Seriously though I recommend running hard line from the fuel pump to the carb.
