Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Actually no real wrk done, but did score a set of buckets seats at a yard sale this morning for $25. They are from a Chrysler mini van 2nd or 3rd row, but will work great as the rear seats in the 'Burb. Will post pics in my build thread.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Replaced the master cylinder and power booster then drove it over to Brake Masters and let them power bleed the whole system.
Man there was a lot of junk in the back drums. Gotta replace the power steering pump some day next week, it's puking up fluid.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I use to think the only thing I disliked more than sanding was sandblasting, but now I think I hate doing both of them equally! Those bed sides offer a lot of sheet metal to work, but I think the hood took more effort than anything else because there are so many shapes involved. Can’t wait to see your truck in paint and all back together.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I decided to keep the interior of the bed all semi-gloss black. I saw that on Corts' truck and liked it. It won;t be authenic, but because two tone pattern I don't the white will look all that great in the bed. I might do it in blue, but have not made up my mind 100% yet. How you doing yours?

![]() I used black spray on liner, allot these trucks had black fender wells anyway with body color on the rest of it if it was one color. The black texture paints hide imperfections which work well for me and a semi gloss would work also...Vernski ![]() |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Had my buddy move the truck back to my house from another buddy's shop. Then I took the flame wrench to the bumper bolts and got it off.
I feel like I will make much more progress in my carport. Steven

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Well not "today" but a summary of the weekend..... BODY WORK.... Cracks on the roof led me through 1/3 of an inch of body work to an old welded up antenna that was in the roof.. The hole was fixed fairly well but they filled it flat instead of doing a little metal work to reduce the amount of bondo. I did a little dolly work then smoothed it out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I was right about getting more done after bringing it home.
![]() Today, I got the steering column out, the E brake assembly out, all but one on each side of the exhaust mani bolts undone and the cab mount bolts soaked with pb blaster. All that between work and dinner. Tomorrow night: gauges, last two exhaust bolts and cab mount bolts. Steven

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Spent all day working on my grille, only to end up stripping everything off and having to start over.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
The engine is ready to come out!
Got the exhaust bolts undone, the motor mount bolts out and the transmission bolts broke loose then tightened down until saturday when I pull the engine. I have to pick up some shorter bolts for the lift plate tomorrow and have my buddy drop off his stand. Things are moving along! Steven
