Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Tonight I finished welding up the plates for my rear cab mounts that cracked, stupid body lift the truck came with, all good and overbuilt now. Time to try out the newly built big block tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got the garage cleaned up. Unloaded the bed of the old truck from the move to the new house. Not enough hours in a day...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Decided a while ago i wanted some kind of tool box in my truck for storage, but the alluminum ones look out of place. Long story short i desided to make a wood box that matches the bed kinda, and got everything for free so far after trading a bunch of oak wood i had lying around for 2x8's and all the rest was just lying around my buddies garage...
Pics 1&2. Buddy griding off the extra long bolts on the angle iron for the box sides and the box Pic 3. Mounted fishing rod holders and the spare tire to the sides of the box Pic 4&5. Then finally installed the Awsome marine antenna (the fiberglass housing was cracked and broken, but i just hacksawed the bad stuff off and threw it back together) and the complete box!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Nice box... Careful with the handle... I see a broken rear window in your future...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Thanks man! I'm trying to find shocks that will help open the lid when I put gate hinges on it. The lid by its self is about 45 pound

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Not technically work on the truck. I have been working a part time job for a week now to pay for parts on the truck and the falcon.
Daniel decided he wants a 51 to restore, Timothy wants a 65 SWB and I found a 65 1 ton I want to build in rememberance of my dad. Looks like the part time job is going to have to last a loooong time! Steven

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Put about 20 miles on the new cam and engine parts today, very happy with the new setup, surprisingly the over 450hp is just enough for the big 1 ton with the 38.5" tires, lights them up pretty nicely, happy me happy truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I test fit my push bar, it will be cleaned up more and repainted black. The bumper and grill will be cleaned up and painted white.
What do you guys think? Should I keep it? |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Sanded all the interior metal work and started the interior repaint by painting the door inners. Should look good with the mexi-blanket trimmed bench seat and matching door panels....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Worked on my bed. Now I'll sand blast the bed, spray with epoxy sealer and apply filler to get good and straight. Last I'll spray on high build primer to make sure its perfect.
