What did you do to your truck today!

[HotRod C/10]

opened up a brown box..........getting closer.

[Route-66]

Started the long slow process of cutting out all the cancer and welding in patch panels.

[Scott>72-GMC]

Yesterday I made my ugly nasty dirty 12 bolt a nice shiny 12 bolt. First pic is after I stripped it. Wish I took one of before... it was bad.

Pulled it out and gave it a hand washing.

Nice truck 68GWC, nice rims and the 33" tires fit the lift really well.

Looks really good. You need smaller tires in front. Those are way too big. I have 215/70r15 on the front of mine and 235/75r15 in the back and they look perfect. Then you will sit with a slight rake. Here's mine. Cupped lowers and stock spindles. I think the front tire size is perfect.

That looks really nice. Gotta love junk yards and a little elbow grease and fresh paint.

Pulled it out of the garage and did a little work.

I have quite a bit of little things to do on it so I take it one step at a time, even if it is a small one.

Cleaned up the tail/stop light wiring underneath the bed by the roll pan. Some of it was hanging loose so I supported it.

Installed a universal horn button underneath the dash to the left side of the steering column, it is hard to see where I put it.

I am trying to get it ready for a local car show June 1st. It won't be completely done, but in a road worthy condition. There should be at least six vehicles from our family in it, mostly 67-72 Chevys.

Just got back from a three-week trip on Saturday night. Monday, the new module was waiting for me at the post office.
I put it in this morning and she fired right up. That is, after I cleaned up the mouse house that was built on top of the
battery while I was gone.

Damn! Those mice are fast builders.

Then, since the last thing I finished before we left was installing the Pioneer set-up, I sat in the passenger's seat and watched a music dvd just for grins.

Local show on June 15. My truck's not a "shower". But this is more like a gearhead get together than a show. Maybe sixty cars or so.
Any money made goes to charity.

I'll clean off the wheels and take a chair and some coffee.

[70C10Toejam]

Started the cam/head swap.

[Lobo'74]

Replaced the two power steering lines from the previous owner installed '85 C10 power steering pump (and box) that have been leaking for years. Had to run errands for the wife before I could add PS fluid and "burp" the lines and check for leaks. I'll do that in the AM, as well as washing the engine and underside of the front. Next up, sand/wire brush the peeling bed floor and paint it.

Got my center cap inserts off the machine today & also got new custom door panels installed

[VWNate1]

As usual ;

You alls did much impressive works .

Sunday 5/19 I was headed out to a three day Road Rally in my vintage Metropolitan Nash FHC , @ 04:30 the gas pickup tube clogged so I had to hop into my unprepared '69 C/10 for the trip .

It was a total blast ! the Falken LT tires and Bilstein HD shocks made the original suspension work great ~ as soon as I got off the freeway and onto those wonderful twisty Farm To Market back roads , I was able to catch & pass almost every other vehicle I encountered including Sports Cars , Motos and one very surprised L.E.O. who looked at my old truck and said it was nice before driving off....

I sure surprised a lot of Farmers and Locals , all of whom were driving much newer vehicles .

The clapped out 250 I6 had NO PROBLEM keeping me going , I kept it to <65 MPH , even on the steepest hills I had no power problems .

I was really worried about how much oil it would take but in spite of at least 7 full tanks of gas , I only used 2 & 1/2 quarts .

Ca Rt's 33 , 245 etc. (we spent three days in Visalia) were mucho fun to tear up ~ I kept thinking the guys with the big V-ates and lowered , tuned suspensions would have loved this .

I still don't even have a front sway bar on this rig .

[Mr Chevorlet]

Working on bed sides or should i say still working on the d#%$%#$# bed side. The bed is the only thing keeping me from being done and seems like i do not have the time.

[budman k20]

Putting in complete new wire harness...no one is envious of this job! What a mess. I only hope it fixes my non functioning turn signals and wiper motor oh and horn and AC!

[69GWC]

Stopped by LMC Truck on my way home today and bought new door panels and new arm rest.

these might not be everyones choice but I really like the chrome with the color of my truck and black arm rest.

LMC should use your picture in their catalogue--I've seen those panels advertised, but they look a helluva lot better in your installation!

[69GWC]

Thanks man, they fit great and go great with the chrome glove box and ash tray. . Plus my old arm rest were painted black and the blue was showing threw (PO crap).
Next is a radio then ttinted windows.
