Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
It's been six years since "The Truck" has 1) seen the light of day, and 2) actually ran. Two weeks ago it came out in the sun and got rinsed off and dried. Today I pulled the gas tank. This weekend I'll replace the fluids, intake, carb, and distributor.
Hopefully, Sunday it will be running again. Pics tomorrow. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Finally got mine running after 4 months! Took it down the road and runs like a champ.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
1. Sold some parts (always good for the pile to get smaller)
2. Tried to buy a couple more trucks in my "hood" out here in rural Oklahoma, but to no avail. They continue to sit...how sad. 3. Went thru my lower chrome trim stash and put together a nice set for my 72 Cheyenne Super. Straightened them out/cleaned them up and restriped the woodgrain. Very nice driver qulity set. 4. Sanded the white coves/sides on same truck. 5. Pulled pass side inner fender, sanded and shot w/Rustoleum semi gloss...just like item #3, above, came out looking great. 6. Sanded and painted rear bumper dust shields.....could've come out better. That's about it. Making progress; headed in the right direction. And got a ton of rain, too.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I brought my dad's truck home to install some some sound deadening and speakers for him. I took a few picks with his and mine in my shop.
I got about halfway laying the second skin last night. I'm debating whether i want to pull the gas tank or not. Anyone do this to their truck and skipped behind the tank and wish they didn't? Maybe just doing the gaps on each side the gas tank is enough? Anyway, here are some pics. Mines the orange one. As you can tell it's no show truck. I put mine to work. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I worked on the new fuel line from 1 AM till 5 AM this morning. What did I get done? I realized I could not make the tight bends of the around-engine-tubing! I ordered that from Inline Tube today. I also got the main fuel line bent and it's pretty good but I couldn't get it lined up. I am going to remove the oil filter today and see if that gives me enough room.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I put a couple more hours into the truck today. I think I have all the major problems with the new fuel line figured out. I hope to finish that phase up this week or next.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
That's going to be a great looking truck Custom/10. The lift and tire/wheel combo is perfect.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Put the new door GMCPauls door seals on the truck today, the press on ones without having to use glue are definately the way to go. Used a rubber mallet like they request to bump them on and they conformed to every curve well!

This was Thursday's project.
The Cheyenne is in a bad way, but she'll make it yet.
