Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Drove it. There was a Buick-Olds-Pontiac meet-and-greet that I started many years ago when I had a hot rod Buick Skylark. I sold my Buick many years ago (the truck is money pit enough!) so another guy started doing it. I went today and got to see some pretty nice old cars. My favorite was a black/black/black '65 GTO with 3 deuces and a 4 speed, and a 389, completely original down to the brake drums, presented by the original owner. I had a '65 GTO, but it was a complete beater.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Put a new rear u joint in the driveshaft since the old one fell apart leaving me on the side of the road the other day. I decided not to do the front one at the same time, since I have a knack for messing up things that I touch, and it felt fine.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Starting to see some progress on the body, finished getting all the rust off and coated. Did the sandblasting of the cab myself, won't do that again. I sent the rest out to the sandblasters, he's going to epoxy prime for me. Can't wait to start putting this baby back together.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Rebuilt the rear drums. Ended up having to reuse some old springs. New kit wasn't right. And test painted a spare rallye and eyeballed it to see if I'll like the look. Gonna rock these with white letters. Gotta figure out how to secure the caps though

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Didn't actually do anything to the truck today but Fed Ex and Purolator stopped by with some goodies for it, which will be installed within a few weeks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Whoops. Looks like I forgot to post my new LMC exhaust. I pulled the old exhaust with the glasspack since the pipe crimped up notably when it turned under the cab. The new system stopped all of that dreaded backfiring.
   I actually like the sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLEAOjMCjFY

I have a good muffler shop that always takes care of me. Yours looks good but I'm a little lazy!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Today I put shocks on the back. Put the front ones on a couple a days ago. Changed the gear oil and gasket a couple of weeks ago.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got tired of getting the black stuff from my steering wheel on my hands on these humid days so I yanked it off and did a quick paint job to it. A little scotch bright scuff and a few coats of rattle can satin clear and we're good to go.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 Scored a new steering wheel on FB marketplace for $35, including the mounting kit. Much better than the old 70's Camaro wheel, and the bonus is now I have a working horn which I haven't had in 14 years because the old wheel didn't have the internals for the horn.
