Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got the grill all in! Painted my chevy emblem black. Just have to install the headlight bezels and I am getting a new chevy front license plate, not a fan of the diamond plate lol.
Tomorrow I am going to change the oil and get her all ready for Blacktop Nationals this weekend

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Started the 12bolt rebuild.....
didn't get to finish but its a work in progress. we where smart and bought an extra outer pinion bearing & a solid bearing spacer to make the job easier.. so far its been pretty straight forward. we need to work out a few shim details, but for the most part its going smoothly. THIS IS WHERE WE LEFT IT FOR TODAY, NOT FINISHED BY ANYMEANS BUT WE ARE ON OUR WAY..

Thanks, Everyone. Without the Forum to answer questions, inspire me to get off my ass, meet some new friends, and source and purchase parts from our great vendors, I wouldn't have gotten this far. And that's a fact. Just one guy in a garage with hand tools. A little help from pals and family for extra muscle and brain. Here are a few more. Tomorrow evening I'll use Smugmug to post some seat belt install shots and the finishing touches (I hope) under the hood for this driver. http://magwa.smugmug.com/Trucks/Chev...2971303_8VGKgw Thanks again to all.

Thanks man! I thought about getting rid of it, but it starts far too many conversations for me to even think about it haha

front of this one made me feel like she's my baby. Turning every nut and bolt on her will do that, I guess. The California DMV is taking their sweet time in getting me the tags. I'm gonna wait until the tags come to take her in for the exhaust. In the meantime, a few "finishing" touches...although, as we all know, they are never really finished. New slogan: The paint Will have To wait

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Wow. It looks like some PO picked a heckuva spot to drill for that CB antenna ball mount. Is there a matching hole on the inside? Not throwing stones, just sharing in the pain.

That's probably the first part that will be addressed with the body work. As a matter of fact, the two body guys that have looked at the truck went directly to those and shook their heads. There's the antenna hole in the cowl, too. I don't use a radio that needs that kind of an antenna, but I plugged the cowl hole with a "normal" antenna for right now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Stared at the inside of my newly sound deadener lined/rubber cab installed/window seals redone....empty and seatless cab. I have a two step plastic stool so I can pretend its driveable. Hoping to get a seat by next week.....that has some foam still in it so I don't sit on the floor and stare through the top of the steering wheel. ugghh

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Had my carb rebuilt. Oh man it seems this was what has been causing me problems all along. Been wary of driving it across town because when getting off the freeway it would spit an sputter like it was out of fuel. I'll get it on the freeway this weekend but just driving it to the store its noticebly a lot better than it was.
