What did you do to your truck today!

[eldogg]

I scored two 1 ton sway bars at the junkyard yesterday. I'm going back tomorrow to get some headers I found but didn't bring enough tools to get.

I pulled my cab off and finished preping the frame for clear coat. Its really pays off to be a manager at a meineke car care for 24 years. I have made alot of friends one being a painter. He is going to shoot a polturathane satin clear on and bake it fridaynight.

I killed my glass fuel filter for a all metal polished Mr.Gasket one. Saw a post of a truck on fire and scared the crap out of me.

Tearing dash apart to replace A/C vent tubes and have AM radio repaired. Broke defroster vents, ordered new vents, glovebox cardboard. Have to replace speaker too. Installed underdash lights and glovebox light that I bought from forum member. Need to find a new vacuum switch for the A/C controls.

I finally sold off a couple first gen-Monte Carlo's so I can buy more stuff for the C10. The engine for the C10 is coming out of the Monte tonight, so I guess that qualifies and working on my truck, right?

I love 1st gen Monte's.....and '69-'72 Grand Prix's

We put the radiator and shroud in the '67 swb today along with voltage regulator, front wiring gutter, front wiring harness, hooked up wires to the alternator and put radiator hoses on.

We are waiting for the passenger's side inner fender to come in from Partsgeek.

Tomorrow I am going to get an adapter to put the Holley carb on the stock manifold.

I had the left control arm replaced and an alignment done on the beast today. Need to replace the springs and wondering what to get as I don't want to lower the ride height any.

Did some wiring, started bleeding the brakes, nothing too much to the truck but I did do this about an hour ago!!!!!

Pulled out the engine this morning after getting everything disconnected last night.

changing my new red carpet is on progress.
put a custom radio in place of an old SONY.
I still have JENSEN "box speakers" in the truck. Is it possible to cut the kick panel and put speaker's ? does water get in the kick panels ?

let's go to the pictures ....

1st : before changing old carpet
2nd : old carpet (with the 2 Jensens speakers
3rd : without carpet
4th : new red carpet
5th : new radio

some stuff to do !

[oldgoldchevy]

Hey ChevyRedneck, I just read through your build and it got me fired up some more. Nice work and you proved to me (again) that you don't need a nice shop to have this hobby. I don't have much, as far as a shop, so it isn't going to slow me down.

[bigdog57]

i bought new heads and rockers

[hpcgmc]

I did my brakes over the weekend and got the truck registered and drove around town for the first time since 2003!

to Lolo33 - LMC has speakers in the kickpanels, look at page 102.

[heathbirkendahl]

Spent 2 hours on Jegs looking at new motors. Time for a new heartbeat!

[magwakeenercew2jh]

Pulled the bezel and dash out, along with all the under-dash wiring that's been there since 1968. With how many ever P.O.'s adds (and a few "subtracts").

In a couple of days (after I get un-pretzeled from spending the day under the dash), ill be installing my new M&H under-dash harness. Other than the Vintage Air,
cigarette lighter, and glove compartment light, it's the only wiring in the whole truck that isn't brand new. So, I bit the bullet and shelled out the four bone$.

Now I need a new bezel. I lost a great (and I guess rare) GM Throttle block- off that I'd worked on for a week restoring one previous winter. Tip: Forget Loctite on that one...
Even the "Blue". I tried for an hour before I got out the Dremel tool.

Okay, off to find a new bezel. The spares I have in the garage have some small cracks at the screw-holes. Anyone know if they make a bezel with wiper and light holes
on the left and no hole on the upper right?

If not, what do you all use to block the hole? I want to leave the lights and wipers on the stock (67-68) side of the bezel.

to hpcbmw ==> to Lolo33 - LMC has speakers in the kickpanels, look at page 102. ==> sorry, but don't see anything at this page and 100 to 104...

Painted the firewall

About ready to put it all back together....Hopefully before the snow flies.

To magwakeenercew2jh,
I actually have a dummy knob on mine that I am going to use to activate either a line lock or nitrous activation switch. Just an idea.

Good idea. Think I'll copy you. I'm always looking for a "spot" to put *something* that looks kind of stock. A dummy for now......Thanks!
