What did you do to your truck today?

[Rich 5150 69]

Well getting there, too many things going on to get anything done...anyways tank area is done, setting up for rear sway bar install, I`ve looked at many threads, pics and webs devoted to sway bars....so it looks as if this install will be good to go, here`s a few pics with it tied into place.... final adjustment of end links will happen after I reinstall bed at ride height, I will also be changing rear springs to the Heavy Duty 4 inch drop springs from CPP. By the way anybody running CPP 4inch drop Heavy Duty rear springs..?

Took my 65 back to the muffler shop and had a pair of All Star exhaust manifolds put on. What a difference from the "rams horns"... Moose is the man. Great job again. Thank you...

Honestly, I took mine apart on a hunch and found it.

There should be an alternator/starter shop you can take it to. You could also go buy a new one, try it and see if it works. If not, take it back. If so, problem solved!

Painted the front bumper which will go back on tomorrow. The bumper guards still need to be painted, but that's okay since they can't be added until after the bumper is back on the truck anyway. They end up very close to the Buick grille bar and if they were mounted to the bumper first, it's very likely the grille would get clobbered in the process.

started welding passenger door bottoms on.

Thanks!

Looks great, Mark! How about a pic of the back side and the mounting hardware? (If it's not too late) Thanks.

Here you go. I included some close ups of the weld nuts.

[dean jendro]

Thanks Mark. Mine have two square holes and the remains of spring loaded captive nuts in one hole on each guard. I bought them used and they look old and original, but who knows for sure. Maybe the 60-62 used weld nuts and the later ones used removable nuts? The guards are at chrome along with my bumpers so this should dress up the front of my 65 pretty nice.

Painted one vent. Glad I already have the seals, they crumpled in my hands coming out.

Picked up all new poly bushings for the rear suspension(autozone) and ordered a coil spring retainer kit from eckler's.

cleaned out all the parts stored in the cab and put them in labelled boxes.

Finished removing the door post and cowl bubble from the salvage yard panel.

Also, sat on the bare cab floor and acted like I was holding a steering wheel and made several vroom sounds before my son stopped me from looking like an idiot.

Had some custom stainless exhaust installed in my 64 GMC.
Hooker headers, 2-1/2" S/S exhaust with "H" pipe, Flowmaster 70 series mufflers with tailpipes exiting in front of the rear tires.
Looks and sounds fantastic, a nice throaty rumble without being too loud.

Paint scheme is awesome, got more photos somewhere?
