What did you do to your truck today?

[chadh100]

extended the pipes to the back and added some chrome tips! It sounds so bad ass now..such a huge difference!

Finally got off my lazy butt and finished my instrument cluster.


And installed into the truck. Everything actually works too.

i took all the bed hooks off the sides of the bed and removed the tool box from the bed.

[GRIMACE 65]

Installed a complete lock set ( doors, glove box ignition) and installed new felts and rubbers on passenger door on the suburban. Oh ya and put a new ignition switch.

I put the new front park brake cable in but something is missing and I can't remember what the part looks like or i routed it wrong. This is under the dash where it hooks up to the handle.
I also installed the flexplate I just got on the engine and mated the tranny up with it. It is just sitting on the floor waiting to get installed into the truck. Now I just have to get the truck home so i can do this.

Its just a u shaped bracket John that slips over the end of the cable I believe...

Let me rephrase that. It is the part that holds the housing so you can put tention on the cable. It has been about 6 years since I took it apart. I can't remember what I did yesterday..

[1966JSM]

just picked up a full set of c6 Z06 calipers

[Narxoleptic Customs]

Did some taping and sanding for some "pin-stripe" looks around the scallops.

Where it started (sorry, only straight on pic I have)

A little closer


The gray primer - light blue paint - dark blue paint comes thru great.

Met up with my son who handed over some custom aluminum and brass punches he whittled up for me. Now I can get restarted on the windshield trim project. My old steel punches are too big and beat up for such delicate work, and the wood I have available doesn’t hold up long enough. I probably won’t have much need for the big ones on the left, but you never know:

Tonight I drove my truck to the car club meeting and showed the guy's for the first time, so now about 1.5hrs total driving, working just great, love this beast, especially the 460.

[losthope]

Coming up on owning my 66 for one year in a couple days and took it for its first drive, about 30 miles and no problems !! cant wait for tomorrow to put some more miles on it

[Sneaux]

Painted the inside of the cab and got the new GM crate 350 ready to drop in.

[MikeS.]

Bought '87 4x4 Burb front & rear axles complete with brakes and springs for my '63 4x4 Burb.

[markeb01]

Knocked all the dents out of the new wide windshield trim.

Finally got my hands on my new beauty rings. The guy was quite upset as he sells the center caps I want, but was out of stock, so I will get the center caps in a couple of weeks.

[steve'62]

What center caps are they?

center caps are going to look like these, except 6 lug, unfortunately they will be plastic, but I understand that is all you can get unless you get the 4x4 ones, then you have two that say 4x4, and two that are open, and they are relatively big$$$

Changed my ignition module in my new a couple of hundred miles ago Proform distrib, china junk I found out, not impressed, installed a used Gm module and fine now. Buy Gm or MSD or something better next time, lesson learned.

What kind of symptoms did you have ignition module (no spark, intermittent spark)?

And what brand and size beauty rings are those? They really are beautiful! (No pun intended). I like how deep they look with the smooth corner. Early Vette rings like those have a hard corner. Yours look really custom.

Sadly the rings are offshore. They are stainless steel, and triple plated, box says they are good for 15x8, or 15x10 wheels (mine are 15x8), they are a 3" deep dish, I am so pleased with how the look. I thought they were a good deal @ 110.00 tax in, and I met the guy on his way to another show, which gave me an excuse to take my truck for an afternoon spin!
