What did you do to your truck today! - Page 19 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

treveiger · 07-11-2010, 08:38 PM

Today i took the door panel off and greased up the window so it would slide easier, then after that took it for a spin.

lowrollin70gmc · 07-11-2010, 08:41 PM

Dropped the sub's fuel tank, reran a new fuel line with proper diesel rubber and steel, put in a new electric pump to prime the motor, sprayed diesel everywhere transfering back into the tank, and broke a damn hood hinge!

I have a spare set from my 70 GMC, but that's 2000 miles away. I'm guessing it was the vibrations from the diesel idling with an open hood last week. I'll just weld it up and hope it holds.

*project 67 sub* · 07-11-2010, 08:45 PM

went to the brothers truck show today

CG · 07-11-2010, 09:01 PM

Well I sold my world famous Monroe bird poop patina 72 C10 burb I had recently reacquired.

vectorit · 07-11-2010, 09:09 PM

Drove her to the Brother's truck show, later broke the hood latch spring in the front. Drove home praying that the hood wouldn't fly up on me...

Made it home safe - No prizes, just new friends!

sams60gmc · 07-11-2010, 09:38 PM

Mines got 64 pages Luke!

07SSSC · 07-11-2010, 10:58 PM

Went to the Northwest Motorfest this weekend, went through 2 batteries, alternator is barely keeping it charged, had to jump it a several times. Then to cap it off blew a power steering line on the way home. Had an awesome time regarless of the problems though.

crapy67 · 07-11-2010, 11:07 PM

Replaced the rear 5 inch drop coils with 4 inchers. Much better now it has an even ride height and rids awesome.

dabruce15 · 07-12-2010, 12:12 AM

Finally got off my butt and added the power brakes. It looks a lot better in the truck than sitting on the work bench.

laid_out_70 · 07-12-2010, 02:11 AM

today i got some more of the painless wiring done

RossRinSD · 07-12-2010, 05:44 AM

I actually got my truck to fit into my shop.

Did an oil change, replaced the driver's side window regulator, then put the door panels back on.

Cruised around for a bit before helping the girlfriend's dad get his RV started. Took a short cut through Camp Pendelton and was complemented by the sentry on my Gadsen Flag sticker.

Prepping to remove the bed and move a crossmember to install my Blazer fuel tank.

Scott Webster · 07-12-2010, 10:03 PM

Cleaned up the "new" to me transmission and then packed up my tools for work.

Hubscrub · 07-12-2010, 10:13 PM

tore down the motor in my wife's67 project, #5 cylinder rod bent some because water got in it from the cracked head, and this motor is bored 80 over but all still looks good except the rod gonna talk to my machine shop tomm. sorry cell phone pics

davebloomer · 07-12-2010, 10:27 PM

wore on my tires.

franky69c10 · 07-12-2010, 11:00 PM

bolted up my 73 suspension 2 day on the 69

De Fuego · 07-12-2010, 11:30 PM

Put on a chrome radiator support on my 68. Covered up that ugly gap pretty good. Originally made for a chevelle but will fit w only having to drill 2 holes.

RossRinSD · 07-13-2010, 03:06 AM

Pulled the bed this evening. I need to move some crossmembers to fit my Blazer fuel tank.

laid_out_70 · 07-13-2010, 03:20 AM

made some progress today. got the bed off by myself with a cherry picker, that was exciting.

cant see in the pic but the bed is warped horribly

this is the worst body panel

no rust on the frame what so ever. a crack on the front drivers side bed mount tho.

1968ratrod · 07-13-2010, 08:16 AM

got the front brakes finished on the 69 stepper......

Crazyz28 · 07-13-2010, 07:12 PM

I put new tires on the '72, found that the back half of the MC had no brake fluid in it-why no rear brakes...will figure this out tomorrow...

Your worst panel looks better than my best panel. Needless to say I have been looking for a better cab / bed / clip / truck to start with when I get to body work on the 67.

FlounderGDI · 07-13-2010, 07:43 PM

I got my Carb back from my favorite Q-Jet Guru... I haven't had time to get it on the Truck yet... I'll have pics of that soon... It's going on the truck before the the Big Car Cruise in my hometown this weekend... I also received the the start of my TH400 to Something Manual Swap...

Hubscrub · 07-13-2010, 08:32 PM

used it to haul my wife's crank, block to the machine shop

imholte · 07-13-2010, 10:42 PM

Installed a stereo and some 6x9s under the seat.

Finally some tunes for my daily driver. I got a pair of 6x9 speaker boxes that barely fit under the seat, well they dont really because you can feel them when you sit down. So sooner than later I will cut the kick panels out and put some 6's in there and some tweeters in the dash somewhere. The dash was already cut by the PO so this was a quick and easy fit and fix.

I just needed some music when driving.

treveiger · 07-13-2010, 11:32 PM

Warmed up the motor then changed the oil and then took it for another spin lol.
