Re: What did you do to your truck today?
A little bummed today, thought I would see my CPP order today... most likely next Tuesday now, the bright side is that I am not really ready for it anyway

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
My son took our 63' to high school autoshop for a brake job...$40 in parts and free labor including turning the rotors and drums and we have a truck that actually stops! Good job kids! The shop teacher likes the older vehicles because they make great teaching projects because they are simple..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Had a great day with my son at grandpa's for some misc work on the truck. My son learned to weld and we got many little items taken care of. Found out Grandpa had a pyrometer to check true engine temp and while the truck was running 11 quarts of tranny fluid poured out all over his driveway between the tranny and engine....Just had the tranny worked on...now I am about to find out how well this guy stands behind his work....was a great day right up until the end..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Actually yesterday, but went to Conroe Swap Meet. Found a gret chrome bumper with the guards on them and a 63 grill for a steal. Too bad I didn't sell anything .

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Great Job!!! Now I've got to ask - I see the square hole on the lower left of the firewall. I take it that's where you'll be running your heater & A/C hoses? If so that means the inner fender will hide the heater-A/C hoses. Are you willing to share how you're planning on routing the hoses so the rest of us idiots can see how it's done?
Again Great Job - I've been following your build from the beginning and I can't believe everything you've accomplished in such a short time and working outside in the dirt! I feel like a lazy candy a$$ slob. I don't like working on my truck in the garage during the summer (too hot) and my excuse for the winter is it's too cold yet it's covered and I have a clean, dry, level concrete floor to work on. I'm beyond impressed with all you've accomplished. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
For the week, I bought a 66 C30 motor home;
On my 63 Burb I got more of the rewiring done and I did the rear drum brakes. Posted via Mobile Device
