What did you get done? 3/18/07 - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got my seat in - well, almost - it's out of a '91 regular cab - I cut 1.5" out of the middle and it's just the right height. Still gotta bolt it in - none of the holes line up, so I'm making the bottom of my cab a little swiss-cheesy, but I'll weld 'em up when I change out the carpet someday.

Hey mods: Any chance we can ban posts from folks in California during the months November-April?

We cant do that

My truck has finally melted out of the snow enough to work on. I pulled the gas tank out of the cab, eradicated the remaining rodents, started pulling up fibergalss patch work from the floorboard and I finished seting up the gears in my 12-bolt and installing the new billet pinion yoke. I just need to sent the pinion preload and she is done.

OOOO PURTY. What valve covers are those?

Got started on some custom door panels

Theyll be trimmed, shapped, then covered in tweed probly. What ever shade for cream the seats come in will dictate the panels color. Custom armrests, kinda like the Copperhead ones that stretched over part of the door handle. Probly do some tuck and roll across it too.

And my truck was broken into... But its kinda hard to steal a truck that has no engine, trans, or steering wheel... go see my ranting thread about that one.

got a haircut friday night, then pitted for an imca modified saturday night at the local dirt track and hung out with friends

Got my '72 3/4 ton chassis in the garage and started taking it apart and cleaning it up, lots 'o rust, but not too deep. I did find out I really need a bigger compressor, the 20 gal craftsman has a hard time keeeping up with a air tools for cleaning up the frame.

rophle1 · 03-19-2007, 09:05 AM

Didn't do anything to the '68, waiting for my radiator to arrive, but I did change the oil and rotate the tires on my F&$d ranger.

Chevyholic · 03-19-2007, 09:11 AM

Got my new headers and valve covers on. Still need to get it to the muffler shop for the remaining exhaust. Almost drivable, I can't wait!

1lowdiesel · 03-19-2007, 09:43 AM

welp got my donor motor out and started putting the go fast parts on it, picked up a 700r4 for $100 bucks and dropped the motor off the stand all in the same day.

yup you heard me the sdtand broke and landed on my new lifters. bent a stud but thats it.
and made a new coat hook

faribran · 03-19-2007, 09:46 AM

harvested a 22lb turkey

So how do you like driving a Pontiac???

paaw · 03-19-2007, 04:04 PM

blazntn · 03-19-2007, 04:56 PM

Well I picked up all new metal for the cab, new doors, and new front 67 fenders!! and took them straight to the body shop!!

skokie · 03-19-2007, 05:00 PM

Got my new brake lines installed.

texanidiot25 · 03-19-2007, 11:22 PM

The grandprixs are a bit sportier, but I love them old Pontiac Sedans. Good on their feet for their size. Is it the GTP/GXP or what ever the top performance one was?

Shiney and ornage valve covers, their perfect for my orange truck.

Finished the 12' trailer frame for my BBQ. Next weekend will work on the smoker and firebox.
