I wasn't able to get last weeks list 100% completed before today because I unexpectedly had to assist some friends w/their move (my GF volunteered our services) yesterday & I worked this morning. I went ahead & made next weeks list:

Weld the 'new' inlet nipple to the blazer gas tank (up-sized from 1.25" to 2"OD)
Mock-up the fuel fill piping to the bed floor
Finish weld the shock c.member
Start the rear bumper bracket 'tweaks'

I messed around adjusting my doors tonight, after about two hours on one of them I think I have figured it out

............It's nothing to it, just rocket science............

We made some progress on OLRED66 tonight. We are getting her ready for the World of Wheels show on 12-14 of February.

62 short step · 01-18-2010, 09:04 AM

I repaired my cab corner.

*lakeroadster* · 01-18-2010, 09:19 AM

Installed a floor mounted hand brake... more data in my build thread..

*LILRED66* · 01-19-2010, 04:06 AM

Very clean looking truck Tony. I never payed attention to the black area behind the grille. Were all the tutone trucks done that way?

jason65 · 01-19-2010, 09:09 AM

Installed some cpp c-notches on mine.

Per the Chevrolet Truck Encyclopedia, all the '60-'66 Chevy trucks were done this way, including the single-tone and two-truck paint schemes. There may be some exceptions, but that is the way they were originally done.

Two obvious tale-tell signs of a repaint, are this area not having the black backdrop with the off-white accent ring or the firewall being any color besides the body color.

Martin64 · 01-19-2010, 11:58 AM

I rebuilt the receiver hitch. The one that was on it when I bought the truk was made of 2" square tubing (OD) and the hole was the same size as the hitch so it wouldn't work with "off the shelf" hitches.
