Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Finished welding up and smoothing out the last holes in the cowl area, rear of cab interior, and repair of the top of the dash (replaced speaker grill and fixed dents in the dash). This is the last repairs of literally 100s of holes the PO drilled throughout the cab and floor. Time to put the cab back on the chassis and get it ready for real bodywork and paint...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Took the truck out this morning to shoot a few photos, and discovered the pesky and irritating windshield trim squeak had returned. So this afternoon I spent another couple hours with a blade like jewelers file and opened up a good size gap between the two upper pieces. Hopefully this will be the last time it needs attention because it's miserable working on that spot with the hood in place.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Went out to try and fire her up for a little drive.....and no start. This carb is junk, and I'm tired of messing with it. So I guess she sits until I can get the Caddy engine in, or I figure something else out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
(technically this weekend, but this is the first chance I've had to post it)
Replaced the valve cover & pushrod cover gaskets. Repainted all the pieces I took off. Since I can't find the correct engine color I went with GM blue. ![]() Started laying sound deadener down, I've only done the middle area as I still need to finish rust repair & repainting at the sills, and get the rest of the old insulation off the firewall. ![]() |

A little bummed today, thought I would see my CPP order today... most likely next Tuesday now, the bright side is that I am not really ready for it anyway

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
My son took our 63' to high school autoshop for a brake job...$40 in parts and free labor including turning the rotors and drums and we have a truck that actually stops! Good job kids! The shop teacher likes the older vehicles because they make great teaching projects because they are simple..
