keep forgetting to do that...sorry

Metaldoc · 05-06-2017, 02:41 PM

The plan is working out with some assembly required.

mud.man.rj · 05-06-2017, 05:38 PM

Now that's a good tire plan, good one.

That low bed mount spare tire is a real good idea. I like it. How is it working out underneath? That must be a long bed.

Thanks it's a long bed. I've done a lot of mods to make it work my bed is custom to start with. All the parts are drying now tomorrow it will be installed.

jessemthompson · 05-06-2017, 10:11 PM

Tinted the windows in preparation of me charging my AC.

Yellow Blue and You--SMILES all around! The Vette and Wanda look Happy and Proud to be G.M. Thanks for sharing!

Wheel tub in and it looks great, like it was meant to be there. The bottom of the tub is about an 1 1/2" above the fender side and the tire is an inch below the top.

That is pretty trick. I especially like that you did that with the wood bed and making the custom look almost stock in appearance.

Thanks it was what I was going for. The boards are composite decking.

3 year old water pump failed. Replaced it with a new one from O-Rielly's. New thermistat and hoses.
I also polished under the hood.

KQQL IT · 05-07-2017, 08:41 PM

Hooked up 12v to the choke.
Installed rebuilt radiator, radiator shop said it is a continuous fin 4 row industrial type.
Will outlast the truck.

OregonNed · 05-09-2017, 10:09 PM

Finished up my oil pressure line tonight. A big shout out to members LockDoc (for the line kit and needed adapter) and TBONE1964 (for an excellent working replacement oil pressure gauge). Everything went together easy and fixed a small oil leak in the process. So nice to get the stock gauges working and and being able to pull out the cheap three gauge under dash panel. Pic is oil gauge at idle.

Metaldoc · 05-12-2017, 05:10 AM

Finished the hold down for the new spare wheel tub.

ghalperin · 05-12-2017, 09:59 AM

I put my frame on a rotisserie and sprayed it.

Nice Job--I like Your rotisserie!

66clow · 05-12-2017, 07:01 PM

Installed 2in drop spindles. Now the front is at 5. Gotta put on the c notch to go to 7 on rear. Although I knew the 45 series was too tall I barely got it home lol. Will be looking for some 40 series tires.

I also used Harbor Freight's disposable spray gun. $9.99 and you don't have to waste time trying to maybe get the epoxy out of it. I removed the air fitting and it went straight in the trash.

Good Idea! CHEEP TRICKS material. You are off to a good start!

Metaldoc · 05-13-2017, 02:02 AM

Like it came from factory or some crazy idea.

I've been wondering what to do with my spare, I like it.

Me going to pick up a steering column and getting a start on putting it in.

NoStopN · 05-13-2017, 05:18 PM

I changed the earl & filter in mine. And I did the same for the other 2 in the fleet as well. That's a lot of lubrication to take back to be recycled.

**Oregon 1967 GMC** · 05-13-2017, 07:42 PM

With Boris' help we got the Steering Wheel off and will start to refurbish it.

**paul blair** · 05-13-2017, 09:03 PM

Cleaned and painted rims yesterday. New 31/10.50 TIRES today!
