What did you do to your truck today? - Page 258 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

RANDY COX · 03-17-2013, 09:55 PM

Ordered my rockers and patch panels,,OOOOH YA BABY....

markeb01 · 03-17-2013, 10:05 PM

Spent the afternoon replacing the stainless hex bolts in my rear splash pans with black carriage bolts.

MrBeast · 03-18-2013, 12:49 AM

Built a receiver mount for my winch and a bracket to put it on my trailer.

Gonna go get my 72 from where I have it stored next month, needed this to get it on the trailer.

keeks69 · 03-22-2013, 01:39 PM

Finished this today
looks pretty good just waiting for the new clear glass part!

dantimdad · 03-23-2013, 08:54 PM

Cleaned the shop and decided to remove the inner portion of the hood to sand blast it and rust proof. Plus, it'll make welding in the patch panel easier.

racecougar · 03-23-2013, 09:07 PM

I cut a hole in it.

Then spent awhile fitting up the new panel. If I make it over to the shop tomorrow, I'll start welding it in.

jbgroby · 03-23-2013, 10:04 PM

You make it look so easy.

CRGRS 66 · 03-23-2013, 10:29 PM

Spent about 1.5 hours with the wire wheel on the firewall, rest of the day sand blasting parts.

wutnxt · 03-24-2013, 04:49 PM

I managed to purchase a altenator for the 6.2 LSA supercharger set up for the 66 project low and go.....But i can't seem to purchase the bracket I need from ebay ......apparently I am a international customer and they don't roll that way....

towersddg9 · 03-24-2013, 05:57 PM

did the driver side glass and vent window, it was actually an easy job, (thanks to some help from members here) I bought the door glass off ebay it fit great, so did the new vent window (classic parts)

Thanks 198, looking forward to seeing your truck finished, those vent windows are new got em from Classic Parts, I was sweating the fitment as I've read here somewhere that some have had issues, these went right in and fit great

Thanks again for the feedback

if you have a US shipping address you get around that. over here we use an outfit called Seawings express international. they have a Blaine address and they bring stuff over daily $17.00 brings over 5lbs. pick it up at Victoria airport, whisk it through customs and your gone. there must be someone doing that at Abbotsford,a/port. US shipping to Blaine is usually minimal so in the end it doesn't make much difference and you don't have to pay those courier ripoff brokers fees.

I don't mean to high jack the thread but how do the bottom of the bags attach to the lower control arms or do they just sit in the pockets?

The bottom of the bag bolts to a cup that just sits in the spring pocket.

markeb01 · 03-25-2013, 04:28 PM

Thanks for sharing that they fit well. I'd like to add those to my truck someday, along with the chrome frames on the side glass. I think they'd upgrade the cab every bit as much as the stainless windshield trim.

Mark, hope you don't have to do like me: apply for an FHA loan

to purchase a pair! Of all parts for our trucks, the price of vent-windows has blown my mind about as much as any thing I easily recall. I ended up buying a fairly nice pair on Ebay--including good glass and chrome--and re-building them. Luckily, they made a very nice 'driver-quality-plus' set. Even lucked up later & sold my originals to a guy whose set was much worse than mine.

My script valve covers arrived from Don today!

Woohoo!

They look great.

Now, to mod them for a PCV valve and a baffle and then repaint.

Ta2Don · 03-25-2013, 07:20 PM

Glad you like them, but, what no pics? LOL
