Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Im partial to the rain. I like it because that means its snowing up in the hills and I love snowboarding. Although I wish it wasn't raining down here so I could get some more work done on my truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Left it setting in the shop and didn't even go out and look at it. Must have had enough of it for a few days after putting the bed wood in on Sunday.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Another day of welding and grinding.. ref. stretched '67 Camaro dash that's going into my 65 (see signature for link). Spent the day fabricating brackets so the dash will be a true bolt in. Kind of a pain in the rump but this should make wiring and repairs easier in the future.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Warmed up the garage so I could go out and look for the small bracket that I lost last year. Looked at my baby and then went back inside. Took maybe all of 20 minutes. Winter is cool and yet, its cold !

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I yanked out the Moon tach (first picture) and put in 'ol faithful: Sun Super II (the rest of the pics). Not sure why I love these old tachs so much, but probably because they are what I had in my cars and trucks when a "bit" younger. Found this Sun Super at the Pomona Swap Meet (an AWEsome swap meet) several years ago - finally found a home for it. The Moon Unit (isn't that one of the Zappa's?) was nice but it wasn't my favorite, it came with the truck when I bought it - it IS nice, but it's one of those new tachs made to look old - like a mid-sixties chevy, etc. Hmmm - wait, that's what I have -but I still like the Sun Super II, the old ones that came out before the "Sunpro days". That's kinda like when AMF bought out Harley Davidson back in the 70's.... Maybe Sun Super Tach will come back too(?) I added quick disconnects in the wiring too so I can pull it if needed to work on other stuff. Maybe I'll set the redline at 7K just to make myself feel good.
Alright, not a BIG accomplishment, but makin it my own. This was much, much cheaper than the stock tach conversion from LMC(!) Maybe someday... Last edited by jocko; 07-05-2010 at 05:27 PM. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Removed the tarp, installed the cylinder heads, carb, intake, air cleaner, alt., exhaust manifold, etc....Got it started and drove it around the block after it sat for 7 years. Then I parked it in front of the house instead of on the side of the house. Good Times!!
