Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Thanks. I took this one after I got hooked up to leave for the show. Unhooked the tow vehicle and hid it in another part of the show, told them not to bother judging it.

I'm pretty sure the owner wouldn't be too happy with that idea.

Never been to a show standing on my head before. That would be a whole new experience.

Re: Got stuff epoxy primered
2 steering wheels?? Looks like progress. I used an early wheel like yours with my 82 column, stock was too dished.

Last 2 items painted today. Steering wheel and rear bumper strut rod supports.
It feels really good to have all the painting done. It's been a lot of work that's for sure.
I put 3 coats on the strut rods and 4 on the steering wheel. So between coats I used free time wisely and bolted the spare tire rack on and then mounted the spare up there. Looks really good but there's was a gotcha. One of the 3 lugs twisted right off with hardly any force at all. Well crap. This is going to have to be drilled out and welded to repair meaning I'll have to touch up the paint (I'm still saying I'm done painting though.) I've got exactly 1 pint of green left so at least that's not a problem. So take a look at the broken lug. It was repaired before! What a poor excuse for a repair job. You can see why it twisted off so easy. There wasn't much holding it. You can tell it was a bolt that had been cut with a hack saw and they welded around it and then ground off most of the weld. What a crazy thing to do. The only way to do this right is to drill clear through and weld it from the rear. I'm also thinking now that I can't trust the other 2 lugs and I should drill those out and do all 3. |

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Installed new power steering gear box. What a pain in the butt. But we'll worth it. Steering went from sloppy to tight.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Well, I didn't actually do it since my truck is 250 miles away in the shop, but I got this pic yesterday. It's mostly all done other than the exhaust pipes from the mufflers back. It's about three inches lower in the rear and the tires are centered in the fenders. It has a 10 bolt 3:08 posi now replacing the 12 bolt 2:73 that was in it previously. There's not a lot of obvious changes but I like it.
