Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Nothin wrong with a hat rack either... nor the cb mounts I had. At least, not back in the day... now it's all getting cleaned and smoothed up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
While I am waiting for my new rad to arrive did some cleaning, and de-greasing under the hood. Also cleaned up and painted the hood latch and top rad brackets and alternator bracket.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got the throttle cable and assembly installed. Had to use the throttle assembly from the 61 and use it on the 63 linkage to make it work. The 235 and the 230 had different linkage. Just have to drill the hole and mount the cable on the dash now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Last weekend I worked on the interior. Finished the sound mat and installed the carpet and seat belts and finally the seat. Starting to see the finished product. I am motivated to finish this thing!
Sorry for the bad cell phone pics. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I just had a 700R4, Ididit column shift column, and power disc brakes put on. Its like a brand new truck. Took it by the alignment shop and had the wheels balanced also. I can now cruise at 75-80 with no problems. Worth every penny....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Is it the black steering wheel that they offer on LMC, Classic Parts etc?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Lookup porta walls on youtube there is a video from a VW bug resto shop that goes into detail.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I just got home from seeing my new 383 SBC on the engine dyno at Richmond Engines here in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.
Initial pulls of around 500 HP but hoping for 525 HP after some tweaking of the timing and jetting of the carburetor. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I went to the shop to get a tow dolly. I have been getting the truck ready to tow to the shop for painting. I have been button up this and that to get ready for it tomorrow and I line the dolly up and my wheels are too wide.. Now I have to go up to the shop and get stock wheels so it will fit on the dolly.. That is 120 mile round trip.
