Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Pulled most of my front end off today to drill out 2 broken P/S studs and to replace the water pump. Bolts on core support all came out easy for not being touched for 50 years. I enjoy challenges like this.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Mounted the passenger side nu crank and door loom. Turns out they're weren't the right spline type but a quick phone call has them on their way. No doubt about it, nu relics is a stand up company.

Time to grow your hair out, Marine!
 Your wife will love the truck as much as you do by getting in there and getting her hands dirty. I need a woman like that. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
The weather does not seem to want to play ball at the moment.
I am doing various little jobs that I can "pack away" once they are done, till it is time to reassemble. I do not know if it was clear from my previous rant, just how lacking the chrome and finish was on the 67-72 rear bumper I had bought for he truck. One of the problems with this sort of low rent and shoddy finish, is that one then needs to spend time and money to prevent it from self destructing in a years time. So I bought two cans of RustOleum Zinc spray, and a can of Aluminium finish spray paint. Inside  Outside  Looking at the difference in thickness and quality between the front and rear bumpers I have bought, it is pretty obvious which is the rear one.  Masking up took the most time, but we know preparation is what it is all about.   Not exactly pretty, but once the silver is on there as well, I will be happy that they have a fighting chance against wet and road grime in years to come.  Murphy's Law.......... Why? It was indoors in the garage.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Just back from the garage.
I bought a tin of "Aluminium" coloured paint, wanting the silveriest paint I could get to go over the Zinc paint. Well, sprays less than it splatters, paint stopped coming out of nozzle halfway through the job, so half a can of paint I cannot get out, going back to the shop to return it tomorrow, and maybe buy some silver paint for the rear bumper. I really am just adding the silver paint to the rears to match the chrome as the zinc is more dull and grey like primer. So this was the result, fine for what it is, but not as good as I expected or want.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Tonight I finished refurbishing my windows. The door glass isn't perfect but still in very nice shape. The lower rails are almost totally rust free. They are now ready to install.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Today I drove up to my storage area and picked up the paint I have. I have lots of chips and scratches to fix by April 26th.
On the way home I stopped off at Treasure Island and took a few pictures. I still like the truck without trim rings. The new Bay Bridge in the back ground.
