Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Removed the trim on the passenger side, welded all the holes shut and painted the bottom a nice dark grey with metal flakes and put on some 90s silverado trim. I also got half way repairing my dash. It got late where i couldnt really see when welding so i just will finish it at a later date.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
How many playing russian roulette with their non working fuel guage? Well today I finally lost. Decided to take her out to the grocery store and take the long way home and ran out of gas
 . Thankfully just a mile from home and the wife wasn't upset she had to bring the gas can  9:30 at night. Everything still frozen. Grateful it was just gas that was needed as well. Happy Memorial Day! Remember those who gave me my freedom! Amen

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I am. I have the two aux. tanks and need to rewire the gauge/switch. I keep a tablet in the glovebox with date/miles/gals. I was stretching it last week, plus hauling the trailer using more fuel, and she pooped out on me taking the back roads. Fortunately my son picked the phone right up, was home, and the mower can was full.
CG, that seat looks great. I changed differential fluids in my '72 K2500. I put a couple finned aluminum covers on and used Royal Purple 75/90 I tested some SEM Camel on some door panels I have with speakers cut into them. I knew it was lighter. Definitely something else is needed to be right. I think I'll just pop these in my '72 to have sound. I'll see about getting a match for saddle mixed up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Started scraping 45 years of grease off the passenger side lower control arm and spindle. Anybody else notice grease, dirt and rust can do a pretty good imitation of concrete given a few decades?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I moved my tank to the rear but still wanted the look of having the tank original so I did this. Found everything at SO-CAL speed shop. The duct tape is temporary until I find a better solution to cover the hole.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Not so much as to what I did to my truck as for my truck.. Picked up the reupholstered bucket seats for my Highlander.. Upholsterer took a little creative license with them and stitched them in the black lines so they are quilted but the stitching blends into the black seams and i like it. Material from SMS and new foams from Truckseats. Now to get my a** in gear and get the console finished and get everything installed in the truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
After stealing the license plate off it to title my freshly bought Z71, I've now stolen the plate from my yellow truck to get the '69 back on the road. But, I need tires. It's always something.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Swapped out my 20+ year old 5 blade clutch fan for a summit racing 6 blade flex fan. It's ridiculous when I can order a new fan and 2 inch spacer from summit for 60 bucks and get it the next day and then to get practically the same fan from orielys, it will be 100 bucks just for the fan and would be a 5-7 business day wait. Summit racing just never fails.
