Re: What did you do to your truck today?

since the previous owner cut holes in the doors for speakers i wanted to blend them in as much as possible. i painted the cone in Ivory and the grill in Fawn.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Had this panel of switches four my trailer hitch that I had no idea what it did so I removed all unnecessary wires from the burb and prepared it for its new stereo system. Also finished my template for my custom speaker box

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

I really got a lot done for once, painted the engine compartment, got the painted engine in there,
got the final touch on my radiator, painted behind the grill and put in clear park light lenses

I had to pursuade a few rusty bolts out!! The rubber mallet was no match for the core support bolts. I had the axe with a flat end and gave the bolts a few hard wacks before they broke loose.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

replaced the big over sized mirrors with the stock mirror.
replaced the old gas cap with a new locking gas cap that is correct for 65.
removed the plywood to reveal the original wood bed.
painted the bumper and light bezels to get a better idea what it will look like when i get the chromed.
