Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I needed a slider for my truck as the one in my truck was damaged in the tornado ... I wanted to keep my slider stock as my truck came with a rear slider ... .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got tired of the cracked plastic on my 68's arm rests so I "reupholstered" them. It was a tough job but I think they came out nice! LOL

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Was going to have black on the grill wrapped in vinyl but it wouldn't stick so had to paint it. Got more of the frontend put together. Getting closer.

I woke up my truck from a years slumber and moved it from storage to the side of my yard that I can actually drive out of. The brakes need attention but with fresh gas it fires up on the first turn of the key. I am about to do a 14 bolt swap and hydroboost brake swap. Glad to allocate some time to my old girl. Amazing how good she looks in pictures.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Yeah,the Cutlass is going back to my oldest son. I pulled out my 327 and th350 to put in the truck last year. He is going to do an LS engine in it.Here it is when we took it and the camper to Arkansas. I got a lot of thumbs up with that.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I got these items done Wednesday night before Thanksgiving;
New turn signal switch - I now have brake lights, turn signals, easier horn operation, etc... New ignition cylinder & new door lock cylinders all to one key - I don't think my grandpa ever locked the truck - so there was no round key, got all locks working smoothly and the ignition key doesn't come out in just any position. got the glove box button replaced - had to drill out the old one - replaced everything, now works like a charm!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
haha! I wish I knew that when I reupholstered the armrest in my old Malibu. I actually used the grey tape and painted it black. Now that was a classy repair...

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Great looking color. 3 months in the shop, is that typical? Are shops working on these old trucks as time permits? In other words, doing the higher paying collision repairs is a higher priority?
