Re: What are you getting done this weekend....
I was not sure on this color, but the more I see it I like it better, anyhow this pickup does not have the paint divider trim, so I will keep it all same color, although I was kicking around the idea of 2 tone

Re: What are you getting done this weekend....
I've built an insane rear bumper for my 3/4 ton truck. Think a Ranch Hand bumper 35 years ago. Rounded and burly. I've been buffing welds and spreading body filler over the welds. Hope to get it into primer tomorrow and paint this week.
Pics tomorrow.

Re: What are you getting done this weekend....
i swaped out the marker lights and tail lights on my 68k10 for nicer ones, put some insalation in the cab, cleaned out the cowl vent pockets, replaced one of the vent doors after i found the old one to be way to rusty to do any good, put a couple new light bulbs in the tail lights, remounted the bed on the frame, removed all the drums only to discover that i have no rear brake components and really worn out front components, the rest has been spent wishing i had more money, trying to find a 73-87 4x4 parts truck with good axles and brakes, and working

Re: What are you getting done this weekend....
Replaced the vent window seals on one side of the wife's '63. Boy, what fun. The other side will have to wait. Gonna go ride the quads while the sun is shining.

Re: What are you getting done this weekend....
Dropping a Ramjet 350 into a buddies 68 short step. Pics this time. We still haven't figured out what the P.O. was thinking when he painted the frame RED on a BLACK truck...
We got the engine sitting in the truck and all of the motor mount and tranny bolts tight. he already ran fuel lines and mounted a Lokar gas pedal yesterday. Now to start adding the front drive pieces, radiator, etc. |

Re: What are you getting done this weekend....
Here id the kicker... The P.O. used grey primer under the red, so anywhere you get a scratch in the red, you see grey. i guess they did not know to use red primer under red paint (?)
The new owner I was helping had recently the motor rubber motor mounts with urethane. He told me that it was the hardest time he had ever had trying to get the bolts to line up. I could not figure out why. I have swapped several motors into mostly 72 trucks and it was never a big deal. When I went over to help him pull the motor, he already had the bolts out. When we got ready to stab the Ramjet in, I figured out what was up. THe P.O. used 7/16" bolts in the frame brackets. i did not remeber these being 7/16" diameter bolts. We used 3/8" diameter blts and only had a little hassle with the passenger side lower, nothing major, about 2 minutes hold up. (Trying to put a 7/16" bolt into a 7/16" hole was the problem my buddy had the last time. |
