What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II - Page 27 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Zeroman · 06-06-2014, 07:58 PM

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.

Finally, new wheels and tires! Cragar Eliminator 17x8, 275 50 17 in back and 255 50 17 in front. Did I mention finally!

Finally got mine running after 4 months! Took it down the road and runs like a champ.

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.

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.

In The Ten Ring · 06-10-2014, 01:09 PM

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.

In The Ten Ring · 06-10-2014, 10:48 PM

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.

**CUSTOM/10** · 06-11-2014, 07:44 AM

Well this was actually Monday but we got the body set back on the frame and getting the moldings all lined up, then it will be the white paint on the bed !

slowcpe · 06-11-2014, 10:42 AM

That's going to be a great looking truck Custom/10. The lift and tire/wheel combo is perfect.

colgad · 06-11-2014, 02:55 PM

Trim going on.

**CUSTOM/10** · 06-11-2014, 06:42 PM

No8Easy2 · 06-11-2014, 07:59 PM

great looking 4 x 4 right there! everything is spot on, even that little chair for
putting on molding, lol

JWSmith · 06-11-2014, 09:07 PM

Nothing to truck specifically...but I sanded, primed and painted the visor rods, hood hinges and hood latch. Also sanded and primed the inner fenders.

jmorri34 · 06-11-2014, 10:11 PM

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!

lowlyfec10 · 06-12-2014, 02:39 PM

got 97 dakota door seals put on (what a tight fit the door is now lol) and currently in the process of buying new cross shafts for the front lca rebuild on my 69 lwb.

jmorri34 · 06-12-2014, 07:45 PM

Installed the new carpet today!!

dirtyjim · 06-14-2014, 02:35 PM

started smoothing out my air cleaner, welded up all extra holes.
I have another one so I might make me a dual snorkel

magwakeenercew2jh · 06-14-2014, 07:03 PM

Local show.

magwakeenercew2jh · 06-14-2014, 10:50 PM

This was Thursday's project.

The Cheyenne is in a bad way, but she'll make it yet.
