Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
I'm getting my grille support ready for media blasting. Fixed a couple of dents today. This was the worst of them. If I can do it - so can you! When I get scared about trying stuff I have never done before I hafta keep reminding myself - it's a truck, not a Ferrari!
Just heat the metal. Bang on it. Heat. Bang bang bang. Heat. Bang bang bang.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Well got the 283 done. Bored .030, new pistons, rods, ground crank 10/10, new RV cam, cam bearings, rod and main bearings, new oil pump, new valves, new hardened seats, re-surfaced heads, re-surfaced exhaust ports, re-surfaced exhaust manifolds. Painted the bell housing and inspection plate. She should be like a new engine. Just wish I was ready to put her back in.........afraid that will be a few months down the road.
Pressure washed the entire frame, except for under the cab. Pressure washed all the fenders and panels. Have started grinding the paint off the inner fenders. Been grinding all the under coat off the wheel side of the inner fender. Who ever made the under coat that was on it made a pretty good product. Every where there was undercoating the fender was in perfect condition. Was just a bummer getting it off.... Here are a couple pics. |

Thanks for starting this thread.
And thanks to those who added links to the old, and from the old.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Not so much to, but with....
Well, it is winter, and we have had the wettest January since 1909 when records were begun. Today Nicola and I decided to take the truck out for a decent run as we both have a bit of cabin fever, and deliver mate Martin the latest copy of Classic American (we subscribe to different mags and swop after reading them) So we made a few stops at Chatham Dockyard where we were chased away by security........ Then off to the yacht basin to get a few pics. I have been looking for a decent photo of the truck to enlarge to about 1200mm X 1500mm for my study, to replace the Super Hero wall I have there at the moment. Not sure if any of the pics I ended up keeping really make the grade. I may have to look for a better setting at some point. So please give your opinions too. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So there went another weekend. Frustrating PotatoBucket !!! Turns pics about. No idea how to overide it, tried rotating in files. Last try ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
grizz, in almost all your shots, you are making the same mistake: there is something in the background "growing" out of your subject matter. Beams, signs, tugboats, barges, you've got it all! Try and frame the shot so the subject matter is the focus, not blending into the background, for example, the picture of the blue glass building with a red truck in front. Make sure that there are no obstructions "growing" out of the subject matter. Hope this makes sense.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
I didn't want to install battery taps, so I put a 150 amp bus bar under the hood and a fuse block under the dash. A set of dash switches goes in next so I can hook up the aftermarket washer bottle with built-in pump and a set of driving lights.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
The past several days I got my big block cleaned up and painted and picked up an entire crossmember from a '79 C20 to swap in and got it cleaned up. Got a lot of new parts coming for both prior to installing. Will do the final cleanup and paint on the crossmember after getting the parts installed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Busy couple of days - got the front fenders all mounted with prothane bushings for the cab and up front. Cleaned up the gauges getting that ready to go back in - and cut down the rubber mounts that hold in the radiator so my new champion radiator will fit inside it without bending the bracket. Ready to put the new shroud and fan on tonight... busy boy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Got my C50 grille out and stripped some paint. Bowtie gets removed and the badge will be relocated to the center area. I also put some POR-15 on the back of my grille support and original grille.
