No, Silly!
Once you climb in, you pull them into the cab and put 'em in your pocket.

Started a build thread. Check my signature.
Got the pilot bearing for the flywheel mounted, and finished re mounting the tank, compressors and lines closer to the cab. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Order up a copy of the "1969 Chevrolet GMC Truck Shop Service Repair Manual Book Engine Drivetrain OEM" today. Very excited as I love to tinker but I am no mechanic. This should help a lot in my journey I think. Ebay for $23.58

Jeff ;
I am a Journeyman Mechanic and I still love to have as many books on whatever I'm working on ,as I can find . These days I tend to buy new Shop Manuals so I can scribble notes , tips and comments in the margins.... Take the time to find an owner's manual and an illustrated parts manual too , they'll be ever so helpful after a thing has been apart a while waiting for parts or the time to get back to it.... ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Sent a message to "TRUCK SEATS" to get a quote on new foam and cover for my 1971. (Foam is pricey!!!)

! be aware that most of the foam buns Auto Upholstery places sell , are way too soft ! .
The good stuff is dead black and fairly cheap if you shop around at regular Uhpholstery Supply Houses . Tom hooked me up with a terrific place in West Los Angeles that wanted 1/2 the price the Valley guys did , new my new seat is nice and firm so I don't get tired when driving all day , soft foam only feels good for 1/2 hour then it begins to beat you up pretty badly .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Well last night I put gauge bulbs in and painted my heater box, today I didn't do anything but just sit in the seat pretending to drive it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I remember those days. I got my truck just before turning 16, and drove it up and down the driveway until my birthday/license acquisition. Problem is, we lived in the burbs, so the driveway was only 3 car lengths long or so.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Trying to sand and polish an alternator. Not going quite as planned. Thinking it may get painted black and get polished hardware. I know I can just buy one already done. It's not that I'm cheap, the project fund has just about ran out for now.
