Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Over the past few days, I've been working hard to get Frankentruck ready to make the Georgia stop of Hot Rod Power Tour. Decided to only paint the parts that were easy to clean up since I'm under a tight schedule lol. The mismatched paint is key to sticking with the theme of being pieced together. Routed the plug wires (yes, those are zip tie wire separators that work great) and finished assembling everything I could before dropping the engine in last night. Today, my buddy and I dropped the engine back in the truck.
 Bought a reman Quadrajet to replace the old Rochester 2 Jet which showed up today and made me very happy. Still have a lot to do tomorrow though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I know it's a minor thing, but I changed the front corner hood bumpers to new rubber, (old ones were hard). And I installed the center hood bumpers (small round ones) none of the trucks I've had, had these. The rear hood bumpers pads are still in good condition. I got the full six piece set front Classic Parts for $5.95.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Finished up the bed last weekend, new headache rack, mud flaps and painted with POR-15, installed toolbox. One headlight was held in with the bezel, broken headlamp adjusters and rivots broke between grill and mounting bracket. Time to put used grill on I had bought. Finished that tonight.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Today I wired up the electric choke, and added on a little somethin that my buddy found when someone dropped of a donation to his dad's ministry. Maybe tomorrow Frankentruck will come to life again?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Got more done this past weekend. The steering was jacked up because of the lower bearing in the steering column was worn out. It was one of the original bearings without sides or grease in it. We replaced it with one of the good, heavy duty bearings that should last a long time. We did have to weld on the steering shaft to fill in where the bad bearing had ground a groove in the shaft and then grind it smooth of course. Now the steering feels nice and tight without any slop. Along with that, we cut off the gear selector mounting lug and, removed the gear indicator, filled up the holes with bondo, sanded and painted it to make it a floor shift steering column. Then, we fitted a sheet metal patch that I purchased from LMC, in the hole on the left side of the cab where the old fuel filler was located. After grinding it down, putting on some bondo, sanding that down, we slapped on a couple coats of good primer. Next weekend, we're gonna finish the exhaust. Amoung the things left to do is, installing a tach, installing a horn, lining up the body panels and, doing a little touch up painting. I'm not going to do a full new paint job. Besides not having the money for that, I'd rather it have a rat rod type paint job. It's gettin there!!
