Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Oil / oil filter change and lubed the front end.

Then I proceeded to run out of grease in the grease tube without a spare tube.

whoops.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Finally got a set of headers that fit good, did not have to trim the frame. This was set 3 as the first set of Hedman's wouldnt work with the motor moved to the forward hole, I also tried some patriot shorties, those were close but hit the CPP mounts

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

I did full rear brake job on my 64 C20 Crew Cab using 1980 K20 front rotors, calipers and lines. Did the swap in 06 and 1 caliper locked up last weekend so i swapped all out yesterday. The mounting brackets are for a 14bolt disc conversion and work on the Eaton H052 / H072. From Great Lakes Offroad...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Tell some details on those kick panels w/speakers! They look great - how do they sound?

As for me, I picked up a new bed and tailgate from Craigslist and pulled out my radiator and heater core. Taking them to the radiator shop....got most of the front end disassembled.

They sound ok. Just running deck power now so cant really say for sure until I get an amp. Also the speakers are pretty low, so its a good idea to also run a speaker or pair of speakers in the factory dash to balance the sound.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

tried to get an alignment and ran into low truck prejudice.

"wont work on that its lowered"

actually its channeled so its really only 2 inches or so lower than stock.

"nope"

so tomorrow I get to find a new alignment shop.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

What I did yesterday was mock up a front end on my 71 frame that I am converting to take a 63-66 cab and front end.
Today, I am taking the front clip and cab back off, hopefully get the nose of the 63-66 frame horns grafted to to the 71 frame, pulling the suspension, again, and cleaning everything up to be ready for paint.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Repaired the leaky float on the gas tank sending unit. I kept wondering why it would only hit a half tank when full.... now I know.
