Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Second show of the year, I got to hang out with my friends and check out 300 + cool rides. To make a great day even better, I snuck out of there with some hardware...

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I got the outside of my oil filter delete done today. I practiced cutting the blind inside thread several times on scrap, failed a few times. Probably not the best thing to learn on. I made this thicker than I needed to in case I screwed up. It's only $7 worth of 6061 aluminum. I very carefully pulled it off and it fits well. now I need to trim it down and figure the back sealing surface out. Also of course some aerodynamic polishing so she slips right through air. I also spent 3 days working on the interior of the car hauler.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Got my frame painted- glad I got it done before the cold weather hit. Nevermind the mess on the floor...

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Thanks Jim, it was just nice to spend time with my friends. My pops fell (again) in June and finally accepted that he should be in an assisted living environment. Between getting him moved, getting his house ready to sell, etc.. there hasn't much free time left for fun stuff. It was a much needed break...

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Pleasant Autumn weather and a combo car show-swap meet lured me 25 miles up the freeway today. The Panel runs smooth and sweet at 70 mph on the Intersate. I don't do shows, but I parked in the spectator lot and thought my truck looked good next to this similarly-colored '40 PU.
After decades of attending shows, I'm jaded by the endless procession of cookie-cutter cars, so I appreciate it when something different shows up. This riveted Falcon got my attention, and the Buick pickup conversion had a vanity license plate reading "DFRENT" I came home with a windshield full of splattered bugs.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Brake caliper brackets are ready to be welded. Some of you remember what I started with but it's the first picture. I have a friend in the orthopedic business and he is going to have them welded and x-rayed for me for free. I'm not qualified to weld important stuff. One step closer in the 3 year journey of "there's no way in h#*l you can put those brakes on a straight axle".

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I recently installed a set of Juliano's 3 point belts in my truck. Unfortunately they kept locking up when i pulled the belt out to latch it. I talked with Juliano's and found that the reel should be mounted parallel with the frame rail, not with the cross sill under the seat.
Today i got busy and fabbed up a new pair of brackets. Now just need to get them welded in and see how they work.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I have been down with a back problem for a week and a half but today decided to get some light work done. I got the proper ARP carb studs installed today on the 6-71and went through and straightened out the nightmare linkage adjustments. Most things are stainless fasteners in aluminum brackets on steel rods so I anti-seized everything. These were the worst instructions I have ever seen. It must be one of those things where if you buy it they figure you know how to put it together. I also got the proper mounting bolts for 4-71 "the other woman".

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
did a little more body work on the door. im slowly working my way around the cab. its labor intensive but satisfying work. im going to have to be careful. i might accidentally make it a nice truck if im not careful.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Installed lowering coils and 2" drop spindles. Kicking myself in the a** now, should have installed 3" spindles.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Looks good. Give the Coils some drive time to get their "set" and it may drop some more.
