What did you do to your truck today part II.

[donthekawguy]

Got the drivers side suspension out and steering box off. Started working on the pass side but got tired and quit for the night. Should have it all apart tomorrow and the controls arms off to the powder coater. Next I have to go the wrecking yard and get the brake parts and try to find some 5 lug wheels to use until next year.

Welded up all of the holes around the back window for the various racks the previous owner(s) installed. I also fixed the dents and welded up other holes drilled into the dash. All filled with a little more sanding ahead of me. After that, tape everything off and first coat of primer next weekend...

[pimpston65]

kinda looks like two aliens sent to take back the best truck from the planet earth. a "CHEVY" baby

[Old Truck Man]

I went to Missouri and hooked a 83 chev it bought Saturday to the 66 GMC . used my tow pilot tow bar. Made the pull back home without incident. The 83 is a fairly clean rust free truck. 250 six and three on the tree. It hasn't been running for quite some time. Its a bare bones truck doesn't have air conditioning. The square cabs are not my favorite models. however this example hasn't been used and abused and was a too good a deal for me to pass up.

[pimpston65]

hey Old Truck Man what u got stashed in the bed of that blue one. any cool axle or wheel find

[Old Truck Man]

There is a complete dodge rear end in the bed. Hard to say if its anything desirable. The son is a MoPar freak has a 69 roadrunner . and he had a big stash if 440 & 383 engines & torqueflight transmission. I not knoweledgeable to know how to determineif the rearend is anything special. There also is a 8 hole 3/4 ton tire & rim in the bed. The inside of the bed is nice not all beatup and dented like most. The tailgate is good also.

[BADAZ chevy guy]

Tore apart the tilt column and tightened it up. Found all the parts for the horn and got it to work. Removed all the OEM parts for the cruse control that were under the dash.

[cortcomp]

Finished my bed wood and moved the cab/chassis back in the garage to start cleaning and assembling.

[racecougar]

Hit a big local swap meet, then shot the paint on the interior roof panel.



Closeup of the "hammered" or "hammertone" finish. It's not distracting or attention grabbing, but it's still just a little different.

[pimpston65]

[racecougar]

Thanks. As far as the swap meet goes, as is typical in this area, the only 60-66 parts are either repops (which we already have plenty of) or rusty (which we also already have plenty of). All I bought today was a cool old oil can.

[Chevy Fleetside]

I finally drove the blue truck farther then around the block. The Big Block pulls real nice for a stock burb engine.

[iceship]

Free double din kenwood new they're 400.00 .... friend totaled car out and smashed screen... so I had to replace some things from a donor ... I still have some good parts left over I'll keep just in case I need it.. donor cost me 90 bucks on ebay it didn't work.

[Softpatch]

$1400 and change & around 10 hrs
5hr to clean the garage 5hrs to install lift finally got it set up

.
Goodby dirty wet cold bug infested gravel drive way

[Dillon Rock]

Oh been cleaning up the engine readying her for paint and a new life in a sense. Amazing what old mo'gas does to a bunch of cap on a block. Lol. Always did this to my farmall tractors when me and my old man would repaint em. Some before and after pics for the fan base.

[Lugnutz65]

Hey that's nice! I like the hammertone color and look. Is it rattlecan or spray gun? Any more info would be appreciated. Thanks.
