Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Drove it. Almost wrecked it cause the brakes went out again.
Now I have to figure out what the heck is going on with them. Might be a bad booster....will try to figure that out tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
My son and I assembled the new engine hoist. Tomorrow we remove the rest of the support strips from the bed and start sand blasting them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Installed new tail light buckets, trim rings, lenses, and rear wiring harness. Would have liked to have saved that stuff until after having the bed restored and painted, but I was having wiring issues, it needed to be done. I am pleased with the result, not only do the lights work

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
When I installed the new tail light wiring harness, I also installed a 4 way trailer light socket. Used the adapter from 4 way to 7 way that my brother made. Had to get some longer chains, but now we are ready to roll. I think the retro looking T@B trailer looks great back there. Hadn't planned on having the CDN flag in the picture, just kinda happened that way.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Ordered the front front springs from CPP and got some spindles and brakes from a '75 heavy half. Hopefully next weekend I'll have disc brakes!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got the OEM inners mounted today. First day we've hard with no rain in about 2 weeks. Damn she starting to look like a truck. These OEM fenders bolted right in not one problem.
I also mounted the hood hinges, anyone have a trick to mounting the springs?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad to have an option other than the GMC letters.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Thanks for the springs links Mark. I don't have a anchor point for the strap, so I'll use the method that one of the members said by pivoting the assembly forward and reset the rear bolt, seems safer for me that way.

I picked up a short step side Saturday and had it stripped down to the cab by yesterday afternoon.

That's pretty neat. Something different, anyway!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Didn't really do a lot, but I took it to a car cruise in Weston over the weekend. For most of the trip there was no traffic coming or going on this little highway. Nothing but a railroad track to the left, and crop fields and trees to the right. It was like I had been transported to the mid-1960s. It probably sounds dumb, but it was the most enjoyable drive I've taken in a long time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Removed ugly, rusty, mismatched wheels and replaced with some 15 x 8 Rallys.
Was going to just replace windshield rubber with new but once I got it all out I decided to use a new glass that I had bought for my '64' project.
