Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got the headliner coming.
Thanks, Bro. Now...for the trim. Anyone have any, "...stay away from this brand" advice?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Dialed in the timing and drove it down the block, felt good thinking about finishing it and not selling her.

I use only 3-M brand upholstery adhesive on Foo-Foo cans , it's good stuff .
Never comes loose , NEVER . Some time ago I found a nice vintage stainless steel gas cap and put it on my truck then hit the Freeway ~ a couple miles down the road the gas tank began to buckle & collapse due to vacuum as the dang cap wasn't vented ! good thing I knew what to do the *instant* I heard my freshly re lined & re painted tank make noise . Back to the old , chipped original painted cap , no worries . ![]()

I'm supposed to go get another shock mount and install it to - day but after yet another 20 hour day yesterday , I'm beat and sore , maybe I'll wait for the one Dano found for me .
I hate driving and feeling the R.R. Wheel bobbling as I go . Not safe either ~ I must drive slower than I usually do . Maybe I'll suit up and head to the junkyard later .

Ah crud ;
By the looks of the roof seam , it's time for paint works before it rusts away in any case .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Real sorry to hear about this Dollor. The storms lately are pretty scary, hang in there. I have minor earthquake damage up at my cabin, so none of us are safe. But from the sound of the storms, I'll sit here and wait for a little shake or two...LOL

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
My wife was worried about tornadoes I told her don't worry we won't have one till I get at least 3/4 the way done with my truck then it will wipe out my truck with no insurance. Sad to hear that though

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Sorry, ole dollar. Maybe you're not supposed to sell her?
I painted this morning. One panel. Tractor Supply Matte Black on the pass bed side. Maybe one more panel tomorrow. Turning the RAT 20-footer into a RAT 10-footer for $30/gal. ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
thats not to bad , but discharge temp should be at least 44 deg. were you parked or driving when you checked the temp.

I drove it to my favorite junkyard and bought both rear lower shock mounts , plus all four correct shock bolts & Hwe. , then I popped the Derby Cover off the 6 jug rear end to find an April 1967 dated 3/27 ratio (11/41 tooth count) final drive ! sweet .
Uh , not quite , the mesh pattern was spot on but they'd been running it low on oil and it looked like the original oil fill , dribbled out like water and the ring gear teeth faces were all brinneled so it prolly hums . Dammit .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
first time you get a chance check it driving down the road and see what the temp reads. it might cool better with a little air cooling the condenser...
