What did you do to your truck today? - Page 214 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CRGRS 66 · 08-21-2012, 12:43 PM

Started getting my garage in order to be my shop for the winter, lot's O' work to do B4 next spring!

The dash is something I grabbed at a swap meet, thought it would look cool in my basement, but, it is still hanging out in my garage.

The steering column is to be rebuilt/painted to replace the wonky one held together with duct tape that is currently in the truck!

My son, Carson, wanted to help me clean on the old truck. Then me and the wife took it out for a cruise. Little man has some growing to do before he can ride in it unfortunately. Here's a few pics.

Yesterday I brought my truck home, today, I drove it to work.

dantimdad · 08-23-2012, 01:58 PM

Last night my son and I disassembled the steering column in prep to shorten it 3", replace the turn signal switch and paint it.

I plan to. I didn't, however, take pics of disassembly.

wasn't it a great feeling to be the one vehicle on the road that EVERYONE noticed vs. all the cookie cutters?

Snowbound · 08-24-2012, 10:16 PM

Pulled the inline 6 today and started cleaning the engine bay. Lots of caked on grease and dirt to scrape off!

Thinking of trying the oven cleaner on it.

Played around with some door art last night...looking for something that will not be permanent so I can change it up from time to time

Picture perfect weather for the long weekend. Logged about 1000 miles of drives. Turn signal mechanism broke but I swapped it out for a spare I had and was back on the road in an hour.

I like it! I'm thinking about an old school Harley Davidson Motorcycles sign for my doors. Anyone know of a good source or design for that?

Thanks!

Just waiting on the parts store so I can get my headers sealed. Lovin the sound of the true duels of the straight 6

dantimdad · 08-25-2012, 11:53 PM

Started removing the back suspension. Thank God for PB Blaster! I ran out so I couldn't get everything broke loose though.

The rear brakes were even worse than the front. Nothing can be saved including the drums.

Basically everything but the rearend and the trailing arms will be replaced. The PO even had rubber blocks in the springs because they had sagged so badly.

Pulled bed off, getting ready for rear tank install. Soaked evryhing down with cleaner will power wash tomorrow.

LT1 Burb · 08-26-2012, 10:29 AM

I pulled the longbed off of my parts truck by myself and it sucked, I really gotta get freinds that live closer.
