Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Yeah tell me about it! I just removed my snow tires on my car. Been sleet coming down all day. I wasted the only nice days prepping and painting the bumper on my truck, so I still haven't got to drive it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I replaced the clutch disks and plates in my 12-bolt posi today. My spin the wheel test was telling me it was not a posi, so I didn’t know it was until I pulled the cover off. When I did I found several pieces of clutch disk sitting on the bottom.
Fortunately it didn’t trash something else, and all I had to do was replace the disks and plates. The axle is out of the truck, which made it much easier. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
And also got my bumper repainted to get rid of the black stripe on top. Well I had my dad do it because he has 20 years experience with body work and paint. Did some black fade to give it some character and then flat cleared it. Before and after:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I’m going to have to open mine up now. The spin test tells me my twelve bolt isn’t posi and I was thinking about getting a power trax kit. With only 75,000 miles on my truck I kind of doubt it but definitely worth a look see.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I finished the topside welds on the rocker installs and flipped her over to get to the bottom easier, because I hate molten balls of steel burrowing in my flesh. That would be a good thread name ...”molten balls of steel”. Also , I closed up the factory gashole. Someone needs to clean the garage.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Is it really better? The bench seat in my 68 is the most comfortable seat I’ve ever sat on. Everyone who sits on it says the same thing. I guess the arm rest would be kinda nice.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I just drilled 4 new holes. And took a peace of meatal and welded the nuts to it for reinfocememt on the bottom side. Dont have to have 2 wrenches to remove or install it. It cant be move foward or back thoue. The only way to mount it between the bump in the floor was to have the seat all of the way Foward. The back of the seat is touching the gas tank. And the arm rest is always down. Cant fold up because it hits the gas tank,wich is fine by me. And if i realy need to fold it up. I can esaly unbolt the seat and fold it up.
