I can't tell you much I like this ! not only the RED
but also the proper full length carpet to the back of the floor ~ until you try this once , you cannot possibly imagine how much noise reduction this affords .

Sadly , my '69 is a Work Rig so no carpets , they'd be ruined in a week .

well i scored a set of new fenders and grill for my short fleet for dirt cheap and there new so i will be converting to the gmc grill as i like the duel headlights and decided to go with a bbc till i find a new pan for my LS conversion my friend gave me that's it for now just collecting parts and going to take vacation to assemble it

[Saclandman]

Got the new ignition parts in, replaced the rotten expansion plug in the block, filled the radiator with coolant, ready to light the fires after 30 years of sitting in a field. Realized I left the key back at the house 45 minutes away. No fires today. Killed a monster black widow taking up residence between the starter and selinoid. Thing was coming after me while I was pulling the starter from under the truck. Hate those things.

put new window regulators and handles in and a new parking brake cable on our dog ozzys truck, think i may finally have it all lined out, now to change the breakin oil, and run the wheels off it

[Mr Handy]

I replaced both front break wheel cylinders on my 70. really makes the truck stop much better.
It is amazing how many people that work in parts stores don't know that vehicles came with drum brakes up front...
I also built myself a glove box on Friday

Well i wanted to install new rad mounts, put on emblems, out on new state liecence, and fix the window.. I installed the license plate and that was about it. I did order lots of parts though. The radiator core mounts caused the quarters to change their geometry and innow need to shim the cab. I loosened the body mounts and jacked up the cab. I need to raise it about 3/16" on the front to get it right. Ordered shims. The emblems did not have the correct nuts so i will need to pick those up this week. The window regulator was totolly fubared. I have parts to repair the regulartor but they are in storage. Ordered. I am going to order tires too. Mine are so bad im afraid to drive the two miles to the tirestore. Im going to do two at a time.

So figured out a lot of what i needed to do, just didnt get much done.

(Yesterday) Washed it. Vacuumed it. Polished the toolbox. Waxed it. Polished the chrome. Took it to show it off at the little local car show. First time showing it. Won a trophy!

[bonnieclyde100]

[pulltilbroke]

Took my 67 for a little drive to a couple small towns when I was house hunting. Guess I did armour all the interior and cleaned the windows too.

[74baggedbug]

Drove around all winter with it like the first pic
It finally warmed up enough to get the creases out of the MIP floor so I forged ahead.

Second pic is the dynamat I installed
Third is with the floor in and trimed up to the best I could on my fist attempt

Last is with the seats and console in and ready to drive. Much better now

[mud.man.rj]

Big difference from winter pic, looks good.

[70cst]

Took the Circuit Rider out for a short drive.

I verified that my gas gauge doesn't work. (and this is my good truck!)

Got my new guage cluster in so they all are functional finally. Also put in a 70s radio back in the dash and ditched my aftermarket cd player that was mounted to the bottom of the dash.

[FrankieD]

Dialed in the timing and drove it down the block, felt good thinking about finishing it and not selling her.

I use only 3-M brand upholstery adhesive on Foo-Foo cans , it's good stuff .

Never comes loose , NEVER .

Some time ago I found a nice vintage stainless steel gas cap and put it on my truck then hit the Freeway ~ a couple miles down the road the gas tank began to buckle & collapse due to vacuum as the dang cap wasn't vented ! good thing I knew what to do the *instant* I heard my freshly re lined & re painted tank make noise .

Back to the old , chipped original painted cap , no worries .
