What did you do to your truck today? - Page 196 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**MisterC** · 03-29-2012, 09:15 PM

Haha. Nice. I'm sure it fits other models, but I needed a power drum/drum master cylinder with the shallow rod dimple and that's the model that kept coming up. You should have heard my conversation with the young gentleman at O'Reilly when I kept telling him it didn't matter what vehicle it was going on. I told him, "Please just give me what I'm asking for." To which he replied, "Ok, but you're not allowed to bring back special orders."

I bought a front and rear end off of a '76 truck to switch to 5 lug. Probably going to get them put on this weekend.
Who sells the best/cost friendly dropped spindles? would like to get 2 1/2" dropped to put on.

cb1965 · 03-29-2012, 11:23 PM

1965zac · 03-29-2012, 11:28 PM

no problem man, we are all here to help eachother out.

just make sure to compare prices, summit does charge sales taxes in some states.

cb1965,
That's exactly what I did. I bought my CCP Drop Spindles from Summit & they were on my front porch the next day. I ordered my 6 lug rotors from CPP on sunday & they were on my door step on wednesday. Fast shipping from both places. I was very happy with both.

65Gregg · 03-30-2012, 12:37 PM

Sent mine to work with my son in law yesterday, he works for a local restoration shop, to get my A/C charged. He said he needed to take it back today because they were low on freon. I think he is just having too much fun driving it. :-} I'm tying up some loose ends before Lone Star Round Up next weekend in Austin. It is a must see and do event!!

firefighter736 · 03-30-2012, 01:17 PM

New bed wood, tubs, and strips are in and strapped down. Gotta fix the tailgate and this thing is ready for cruising season!

Wow, took CPP 2 months to get my disc conversion kit in. Ive always had fast service with Summit though.

Tightened up the ball in the rear view mirror.

junk4cash · 03-30-2012, 05:38 PM

Evicted a family of wasps from under the cowl and pulled the carb to rebuild. Also pulled the valve cover and found crusty sludge that smells like fuel. Time to clean!!

Except for adding deluxe pedal pads which won't arrive for a few days, I finished up installing the 71-72 cable gas pedal. What a nice improvement.

E911manager · 03-30-2012, 10:09 PM

Hung a door!!!

ChuckW · 03-30-2012, 10:57 PM

I sanded again and again.... Wet with 500 grit... And again and again

198plus · 03-30-2012, 11:57 PM

Well I washed some dust off my truck and some new tires. Can't wait to get it disassembled next week for some wet sanding and 3 more coats of clear.

Finished bolting up the new-to-me 250. Had issues getting spark but changed out the condenser and points and plug wires. I was just going to bump it but low and behold she started right up! It's still a used motor, but a 100% better than I had before. I checked the old motor's valves and #2 exhaust leaked like a downspout.
Installed the hood. Now all I lack is the fenders and she'll be road worthy again.

lee64 · 03-31-2012, 12:33 AM

Got up, drove it to work again! Life is good!

mud.man.rj · 03-31-2012, 01:44 AM

Tonight I welded up a portion of floor and also welded drivers rocker panel back on from improper install by someone else. I undercoated cab floor too. Next is refit new door again until it fits.

jbgroby · 03-31-2012, 10:42 AM

Went out and gave it a kiss, as I'm being accused of have it as my mistress.

62 Barnfind · 03-31-2012, 10:50 AM

I removed and replaced the lower part of the door. I still have a lot to do with it. I wish I would have just replaced the whole door!

chainsaw · 03-31-2012, 04:00 PM

New carpet, weatherstrip, fuzzies, steering wheel and foot gas pedal. Now to figure out what to do with the seat, and how to get the doors to close, I have them out as far as they will go.

chainsaw · 03-31-2012, 04:10 PM

Also mounted my riding buddy.

62 Bowtie · 03-31-2012, 07:38 PM

Adjusted the passenger door latch now it wont open

**66ChevyMax** · 03-31-2012, 07:46 PM
