Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I ordered white gauges for my 67 and rebuilt my brake Cylinders!! Getting ready to teach my son how to bleed brakes, after our four brake rebuild project.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

This would probably fall under "What I did to my truck this weekend". I located a whole front clip that was for sale cause the guy only needed the cab. The cab and The PO had purchased it from somebody else who had started to restore the truck. Not bad for $500 at least I didn't think so, new hood fenders and core support. Changed it out this last weekend.

Pulled the windshield this morning before work. Yeah, I finally found a piece that doesn't have rust holes hiding under it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Cleaned up the engine bay a little before I started the A/C fan install.

I decided to run a pusher electric fan (from the outside into the bay) strictly for the condensor that will switch on whenever the air goes on...
...because I wasn't getting enough air flow over the condenser with the two primary sucking fans (into the bay mounted on the engine-side of the radiator).
The pusher on the condensor will go in... probably tomorrow.
