Don't let some one borrow your truck that doesn't know and decide to filler up. Lol

I like the melded crossover ~ few seem to fully grasp how much better an engine runs with this .

? Is that a Saginaw three speed overdrive box ? . (sweet if so) .

I understand your love of that pale yellow paint job .

Lots of good works done here, keep it up ! .

Purchased a new Truck Cover - My old one was damaged

[Fakeshemp73]

True...Probably should get a locking cap with only one key and hide that key.LOL...Atleast if some A-hole trys to mess with me and poor suger down the tank it wont hurt it.

Not so much as to what I did to my truck as for my truck.. Picked up the reupholstered bucket seats for my Highlander.. Upholsterer took a little creative license with them and stitched them in the black lines so they are quilted but the stitching blends into the black seams and i like it. Material from SMS and new foams from Truckseats. Now to get my a** in gear and get the console finished and get everything installed in the truck.

What would be cool if you could find a way to connect it to the tank in the rear...

I did the same with mine. I welded a plate onto the end of the filler tube so it could be pulled out.

Started sanding a little a of the rust on the roof and continued with my rattle can job. Took some photos with the girl and had a photo shoot.

Very Nice !!

Interior for my Truck. Visors same material as on the seats. Shows light in the picture.Tan Vinyl and multicolored fabric. Much better in person.

@Clow ;

Looks like good work ! next time take picx of the tools and paper, paint etc. you used, many here have no idea where to begin and would like a nice job like you did .

@Smitty ~ that materiel looks like the Chevy police Car seat fabric used from '77 ~ '82, it came in a few colors, was comfy and wore like iron .

I don't want Buddy Buckets but I am loving the wide variety of colors, fabrics and patterns used .

[In The Ten Ring]

I got a little something done. I ground out the rivets holding the lower radiator brackets in. One was put in wrong, the other was damaged, and I wanted to bend the lip of the core support down behind it so that the one would lay flat when reinstalled.

Also, by using lock nuts and small pan-head machine screws, I could easily change over to my original 2-row radiator if I ever have a mind to.

I used my Dremel tool and a small grinding attachment, I like how it turned out. I also got the rivets out of the two old brackets. One bracket was badly bent but I was able to straighten it out. I'm learning how to use my bench vise and hammer.

Today I was putting oil in the aluminum replacement a/c compressor I bought, it wasn't brand new. I dropped it off of the table and bent the pulley, It turns crooked now. So I ordered a new one.

Looks great, well done

[berch 69GMC]

finished the fuel fill for the rear tank relocation.

[my56chevytruck]

Yesterday our weather was in the 80's so it was time to finish the painting of my front valance. So after all the preparation, I was able to get it done. This is my submission to what I did to my truck today.

[Custom/20]

Swapped out my mufflers for some thrush glass packs. She's got a really nice sound now!

I like the look. Low key I guess you could say. I'd drive it everyday, everywhere.

Beautiful. I love the material on buckets.

I replaced the headliner back to original in the 72.

I sold my '70 a couple weeks ago. It has gone to a great new owner who will take good care of it. Since then, I installed the hitch and trailer wiring that was on it, on my '72. Also ordered a tonneau cover, which fits great and looks awesome. I added 18" glass packs ahead of the existing 24" and the sound now is throaty but not overbearing. I have a few small items on order with Wes, and today installed cruise control.

Wow! Those seats look awesome!! Makes me think about redoing my green 70 Blazers seats.
