Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed a newer 95-99 styled under hood storage box left of the radiator. Mounted to the rad support and used a couple pieces of plumbers strap (temporay til get better straps cut, smoothed and painted) to mount to the fender. Fits great and gives a place to keep P/S fluid, engine oil and rag, etc.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Looks great! Is the fuel pump going to have to relocate? Also, is that a package specific to the 67-72 SWB, or did you have to cut, fit, and weld?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
You guys all put me to shame...Today I monitored the flying insect trap I hung from rearview mirror to see if I captured the unwanted guests who appear to have begun building a nest somewhere inside my cab...no joke !!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I installed carpet in my truck yesterday that I bought off a board member here. After that I loaded the dog in the back and the woman in the front and went on a trip to a friends for the day for some good beer and bbq.
The carpet is by far my best upgrade to the old girl since I bought it. It's amazing the cab noise reduction, It's like driving a completely different truck

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I painted the wood floor in the bed of my '67 swb stepper today with Rustoleum Black paint. It looks a lot better than it did with miss-matched color boards.
Yesterday I built and put a cover over the gap between the shroud and the top of the radiator. Tomorrow I plan to paint it black.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Replaced the rear wheel cylinders and took all the brake components to the wire wheel ... greased up the contacts, put on new shoes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Hit the parts counter this morning to pick up new thermostat, housing, wires, cap, rotor, and points to get my 67 long stepper fired up after sitting in a field for years. Got everything on, ready to rock and roll. Filled up the radiator...just to see water coming out from the passangers side engine block by the starter. NOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Luckily it is just a rotted freeze plug. But now I gotta get in there to replace it. Really don't wont to pull the engine. |
