No sir, I ordered it from cupholdersplus.com it's the shorty bench seat console. It's very well made and solid, also made in the USA, I always try and buy American made products over import

You guys all put me to shame...Today I monitored the flying insect trap I hung from rearview mirror to see if I captured the unwanted guests who appear to have begun building a nest somewhere inside my cab...no joke !!!!

cut up my perfectly stock straight 1972 c10 hood and started my ram air scoop in the front of it.. will post pics when done

I installed carpet in my truck yesterday that I bought off a board member here. After that I loaded the dog in the back and the woman in the front and went on a trip to a friends for the day for some good beer and bbq.

The carpet is by far my best upgrade to the old girl since I bought it. It's amazing the cab noise reduction, It's like driving a completely different truck

I painted the wood floor in the bed of my '67 swb stepper today with Rustoleum Black paint. It looks a lot better than it did with miss-matched color boards.

Yesterday I built and put a cover over the gap between the shroud and the top of the radiator. Tomorrow I plan to paint it black.

jc70chevy · 05-26-2013, 08:10 PM

melted the end of my welder to my extention cord how i did this im not sure but this sucks

czarcaustic · 05-26-2013, 08:59 PM

Replaced the rear wheel cylinders and took all the brake components to the wire wheel ... greased up the contacts, put on new shoes.

apacheben · 05-26-2013, 09:13 PM

started it up cleaned the windows and went for a ride.
then I parked it. runs nice but I need some frontend work .
it was all over the road. I think that will be my next thing to fix.

Looks like 2WD? Is that a straight axle under it? Those are really cool if you ask me but they don't handle well at all. I like the look as is.

Have the alignment and tires checked.

yes, it`s a straight axle with 6 inch lift blocks.
need to remove them first. and buy some new tires and rims too.

Hit the parts counter this morning to pick up new thermostat, housing, wires, cap, rotor, and points to get my 67 long stepper fired up after sitting in a field for years. Got everything on, ready to rock and roll. Filled up the radiator...just to see water coming out from the passangers side engine block by the starter. NOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Luckily it is just a rotted freeze plug. But now I gotta get in there to replace it. Really don't wont to pull the engine.

**hart11b** · 05-27-2013, 03:26 AM

Built a little tray for my cardboard glove box. I was tired of my stuff always sliding aft and then almost spilling out when I opened it up. I'll post pics tomorrow when I finish painting it. I think it'll be gloss black with an "8-350" emblem on the front.

Nothing special, but I'm happy with it.

Shyguy · 05-27-2013, 01:01 PM

Opened up the garage and got the lawn tractor out. Said hi to the "Cream Sickle", yep that is its name now. A guy on a facebook site for 67-72s named it for me because it is bright white with bright orange racing stripes and a bright orange interior.

Later today I am going over to the garage and do a little paint touch-up. I many even have time to fire up the '75 dually and take it for a drive down back roads.
