Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Tired of long tube headers heat soaking the starter in traffic, installed a high torque corvette style starter and heat shield. Replaced a lot of wires too. Big difference.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Well, yes it was. My 400 sb is getting tired. Time to move this little stepper into the 21st century.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Polished the grille. Surprising what 1500 grit sandpaper, a buffing kit from Harbor Freight and a couple hours of labor can do.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed my LMC rear mount tank today. I had to recess the top 1 1/4" for the Tanks Inc PA pump fittings to clear the bed. I'll install the pump tomorrow and should be ready to fire up my LT1.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I'm going to put a coat of wax for now, and do some research. I know it probably won't last long because it's an aftermarket grille.

Ok thats not cool because that Porterbuilt stuff is expensive. I had thought about them, and also looked at No Limit and RideTech for my shortbed step. I also want that handle like its on rails ride. Is there something you can do or add to get it to ride better? |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Just got done with my "Mitsu-rolet" spare tire winch install on the '70. I got a spare tire winch (chain type) from a Mitsubishi truck at the getting place for $10.00. Spent another $7.00 on bolts, nuts, washers. I had all the steel I needed already. The two piece jack handle also works the winch just fine.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Found a nice original grill at the the junk yard last week, spent the past few days restoring it, and today I installed it. Very pleased!
