Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Sweet 383. How much lead are you going to hide under the truck bed so you can keep your tires hooked to the pavement?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
With sticky tires these trucks will hook up very hard, with nothing more than some soft rear shocks..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I decided to replace all the steel brake lines with stainless so I picked up a double flaring kit to go with my tubing bender. Also got a second angle grinder cause I am really sick of switching out wheels right in the middle of a project.
I finally got the rear end clean enough to paint. That'll get done Saturday morning. Steven

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Good day so far, I finished inside my cab today; dash - wooden bezel, wooden clock/radio holder, new knobs, handle for glove compartment (old harley davidson bolt), rubber door lining installed one side, new seat belts installed, A/C vents painted and reinstalled, and GMC door sill plates installed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
scoured internet and catalogs looking for all of the upgrades I am going to do. Stuck mainly on the type of disc bake conversion. Transplant crossmember and rear to get 5 lug but lose the torsion setup or go with a commercial 6 lug kit up front.........

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Spent the day re-reading everything I can find about actually installing the windshield. Half the success stories install the windshield top first, while the rest start bottom first. I sure wish there was a pictorial posting already in place specific to the 60-63 wrap around windshield. The factory service manual is practically worthless because it offers no installation photos and doesn't address the issue of the glass hitting the roof overhang.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Didn't get much done this weekend.
My 11 year old welded up a couple holes in bed cross members so we can reuse them for the flat bed. Steven

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I bought a chrome rear bumper that was on craigslist. The guy didn't know if it was original or aftermarket so I made the 60 mile drive and found it was an older Chinese aftermarket bumper but I bought it anyway at a reduced price. I ordered up bumper and license plate brackets from Classic Industries. After modifying 1 bumper bracket and the plate bracket I got the bumper mounted today. It's not running to good right now but it looks a little nicer.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Just a small job but has made a big difference to my interior - and something I've wanted to do for the past two years..
Many thanks to Jeff [62 Longbed] who sent all of the necessary parts to mount my horn button (including the button itself!) across the pond for a great price
