In my spot weld count I've removed two dashes, approximately spot welds on my burb. -2X front driver kick panels at 3X on one panel and 43 on the second. -3X Rocker panels with unknown number of spot welds.. I was able to order two of the 3-Pack's of 3/8" Blair cutters at my local NAPA for only $20... I thought that was far.. I'll likely need at least one.. And then I'll have extras for the next project.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I cleaned out the insulation/deadener and vacuumed up the new/older cab.
It will need rockers, both from floor supports, part of both sides of the floor boards and some dummy beat in two spots on the firewall to fit in an engine it appears. Not even close to as bad as the first cab even though it's more area. All in all, I am still stoked about the cab. I am still debating on shaved drip rails... Steven

There is NO WAY IN HE DOUBLE TOOTHPICKS That I would ever take a project down to the spot welds like you have. Where do you draw the line?

There's no way I'd take a project down so far. I'd let it go and get something with a little less work involved.

Yesterday was new fuel pump and rubber lines. Today I installed my west coast mirrors that I picked up yesterday.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Picked up a Flarestat hazard switch at pick-n-pull today. It's one of those things that I always wanted but couldn't bring myself to pay $100 for. $16.00 out the door. Has gmc on it instead of the bowtie, but I'll live with it. I drilled out the hole for the choke cable (don't have a choke anyways) with a 5/8" bit and it fits perfect.

That B Body cluster looks right at home in there! Nice job. The LT1 is going to really haul.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Thanks for the positive feedback... I have driven it on the road sitting on a bucket, no doors, windshield, fenders, inner fenders, bed, etc. It does run good..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Had a good day working on the truck despite the fact it was only 32 degrees out. All went well until I broke off a bolt that holds down the thermostat cover...Snap!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Isn't it always frozen in Canada? Ha ha ( I am originally from BC so I can make that comment!) I forgot to add that I have no garage but with no rain it was not too bad!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Actually did it last week, but installed a class V trailer hitch, Rick's fuel tank with gen 5 Camaro fuel pump module and new poly bushings for my CPP panhard bar all in preparation to tow a mustang home from Ventura

In the Northern part of Saskatchewan Canada we get a whole 2-3 months of semi warm car weather, whoohoo.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Somedays I wish I was further North where the igloo's are, easy and cheap to build not like all my insulation I put in my house to keep the -20 to -30 plus weather out. Oh well a few more months and the ice will melt and a couple of months of summer, haha.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I know this weather is horrible. It is almost 80 out there and I would do some work on my truck but I fear I might break a sweat.
