Called to get a quote in doing a 700r4 swap. It's very tempting.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I got tired of looking at the two holes where the shoulder strap bolts should be, so I came up with a cheap fix. Went to NAPA and got two of these LED push in lamps. They are about the size of a quarter. Wired them up to the dome light harness down near the floor. Since I did not want to harm the threads in the cab, I just used black RTV to "glue" them in place. Tried them out in the shop with the lights out and they are pretty bright, kind of a bluish/white light. They are "Peterson Utility Light #V171C".

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Bought a period correct bench seat a while back, so today a friend was generous and sand blasted the mounting brackets for primer and paint. Yesterday I fixed the electric choke issue it was having, and fine tuned the idle. It was a joy to drive it today..

Drove it from South Central L.A. out to Lancaster and had breakfast with the V.J.L.A. then drove it to Pasadena via The Angles Forest and Crest Highways , I've been tweaking the tire pressures and it's hugging the asphalt like no old truck should ~ my brother was riding shotgun and looked a little green around the gills so I slowed down after a bit ~ if the tires don't squeak , I couldn't possibly be going too fast , right ? .
I only used one quart of oil too =8-) . Loaded up some brake tools in Pasadena and drove it to South Central , the West L.A. where I bled the brakes out on my old 1980 Caddy S & S Victoria Hearse ~ it stops great now but appears to need front calipers .

Here is a link for pictures. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=560724&page=6 Just a sample of what it takes to win the top award. These are the top 2 vehicles at the show. You can see all my pictures in the link. ![]() ![]() Here is even more coverage of the show here. ![]() ![]() http://s1233.beta.photobucket.com/us...80209660590893
