Re: What did you do to your truck today?
My truck is happiest when started every day. If left for 3 days, she gets testy and difficult. After 2 months under a cover she becomes very capricious and obstinate. So today I pulled the winter cover off and spent about 15 minutes coaxing, praising, cranking and manipulating the choke, fast idle, and throttle before arriving at the magic combination and she fired back to life. Another half hour of listening to the gear drive and mufflers while warming up to operating temperature was very soothing. I can’t wait for spring.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Went to Fastenal today and bought some 3/4-16 Grade 8 bolts and cut the heads off of them and coped them to fit 1 1/2 tubing. Tomorrow I'll make lower bag mounts.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Well, finally got around to put a finish on my oak for the stepside ,I chose teak oil , for its ability to shed water. (florida has a lot of liquid sunshine). notice the notches for the inner fenders.... What this????, inner fenders on a step side? thats right! . I used 72 fleetside inners ( after sectioning out 4" ) its a great way to " tub " a stepside and get a stock look . customizing is great, but.... I like my tricks to be un-noticed , where you have to look hard to notice! everything that I've done to this '65 has that same princeable. of course its hard not to notice 15" wide tires but.... something had to give !!!!!!!! it bearly takes off without spinning with regular tires, had to hook up somehow. more later - painting bed strips w/ gloss black epoxy, for durablity, this is to be my daily driver. told the old lady this morning that I was NOT selling the truck ( as she so nicely requested !!) yesterday she made mention that maybe some of my new friends that I've made on this site might have somewhere for me to stay!!! more on that #@$*>&# later
chow for now . Eric

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
it's a company called Kustom tanks and I bought it about 3 years ago , I think it was close to $400.00 shipped . made just for 4-5-6ers and still didn't fit right ,had to trim a bed cross member . mine is on a slight angle and I've been looking at others that don't seem to be angled . it still has the stock rivets in it - so I don't think its been off , must be one of those differences that are between years and assembly plants. oh the locking cap was almost $70.00 and I had to shorten the tube on it and the tank to make it fit. does anything fit anymore?? Eric

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
worked on the bed, painted the strips w/ gloss black epoxy - still not bolted down , but.... they are painted . I laid them in place -for lack of a better place to put them . The epoxy looks great , nice and smooth - best paint that I've used in a long time ( out of the spray can ) still messing w/ the wood , notice that I didn't let the bed bolts come thru the wood - looks much cleaner that way. I have all the ss bolts to finish up with . bought a box of ss fasteners -every nut, bolt, and washer for the complete truck -doors, box, fenders,interior screws and fasteners ect. right down the the rear view, glove box, you name it - everything!!!!! I either have time or money - never both so when I had money, I bought parts and put them on my shelf . now I don't have two dimes to rub together , but... I have time !! HEY!!! am I the only one working on my truck ???? come on guys there is always something to do ......ALWAYS!!!! so stop kidding yourself and get busy!! looks like I've hijacked this thread- WTF ??? are you telling me you have nothing to sand , fab, paint, polish, nothing??? I put most of my stuff on this thread , because ...I just joined and am to far along to start a build thread. looks like I'll have this done and the next project well underway before you slackers get anything done! come one your the ones that inspired me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
get a move on it!!!! Eric "9 out of ten women are battered , I'm still eatin' mine plain!"
