Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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!
