I took my trailer hitch into the house.

mikelom · 04-25-2018, 03:37 AM

Installed new pads. Removed the dash bezel because I'm going to paint it.

**special-K** · 04-25-2018, 07:46 AM

Put a cap on. I have tangerine tint coming for the clear windows

Tobogganing in the summer behind a boat is much more funner than in the cold winter.

Tangerine tint? I haven't seen weird colored window tint in I don't know when.
Hey who's the mountain man posing?

FRCvette · 04-25-2018, 09:42 PM

Are you guys that are dropping in engines removing the hoods. I am going to remove and replace my engine this weekend and don't want to remove hood if I do not need to.

No way to get the engine out without removing the hood, so tape the locations as mentioned.

I googled colored window tint and I think it's coming from none other than Walmart! Tangerine was first to pop up. Show be close to the bubble windows. I want to frost out the ones I tint, too.

That's exactly what he is, a mountain man. He lives in a garage, too. That's Hanson, one of the bunch across the way at Spring Carlisle. The guy I share spots with is my older son's age and so are all of them. They wear me out! Buncha buck wild boys!

From yesterday, but I had the truck in the shop to figure out some wiring nightmares today. Here's "Black Cat" freshly washed. I'll have to wait to hand wash it until the weekend. Bought this truck last weekend, no rust other than the front cab mounts, a little bit on the driver floor, and the tailgate. '67 GMC 3/4 ton.

beaterku · 04-25-2018, 03:28 PM

Tore out the front suspension and steering. Going to be replacing everything except the control arms and drag link. New parts started arriving last week. I think the item I am most excited about is the faster ratio steering box

Here is the video from this week. Not much to video since it was all disassembly. Will get a lot more interesting when I start putting the new parts on!

That was a total photobomb. My wildass buddies were hanging across the isle when I decided to snap some pics of my truck last weekend at Carlisle. Crazy Hanson saw the flas and was over in a flash. I knew he was there as I aimed and feared he was going down farther than that. Thank GAWD he didn't

I bet it is. This was at Spring Carlisle but if you said it was Winter Carlisle on Thursday or that night I would've believed you. 45 for the high with rain sideways between a few glances at the sun, wind, snow blowing, and 22 degrees that next morning! That aluminum cap was an ice box.

Your sure got a good one. I'm very jealous. Never seen 69-72 grille surround used with a 67/68 hood before. Didn't think it could work.

Yobyllib · 04-25-2018, 06:04 PM

I put bags in the back of my truck, now to do the fronts.

cornerstone · 04-25-2018, 06:59 PM

I got some more epoxy primer laid down, next onto the front clip.

Hmmm. Maybe that '67 grille will fit mine without changing a bunch of trims parts around it.

Went with my neighbour to pick up 6 2by 12 by 16 feet white oak boards for our tandem car trailer.Now for lights,paint ,new fenders everything else.

**special-K** · 04-26-2018, 08:18 AM

Having fun with this new to me old truck cap. I have the tangerine tint on it's way and I also have this 50 state set of travel stickers coming

Artofdeath · 04-26-2018, 04:00 PM

Took advantage of the nice weather today and pulled the bed off the frame. Need to weld new mount perches on then I am going to pressure wash and rust proof the frame. Fun stuff!

Jim Boy · 04-26-2018, 04:15 PM

Rolled the beast out today for the first time this year. The wife came out and said instead of standing there looking at that money pit go to the nurseries and get the trees we need. So first day hauling trees. All men need a truck if they are married!!!!! Have a good one eh!

I agree that's why I have 2 trucks one for the winter and one for summer. Got all the pieces cut for the tranny mount with my CNC plasma grinder. I made some cut outs for debris to be washed out.

That's the quote for the wee! "All men need a truck if they are married!!!!!" Word, brutha.

Today I cleaned up a couple of wheel cylinders using a vintage AAMCO brake honing set I inherited from my Dad.

That’s going to be awesome. Where did you get the stickers from?

1968 baby blue C10 · 04-26-2018, 06:47 PM

Gave her a wax today. Maybe the first time the truck has ever been waxed haha
