Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I got Frank ready to roll today rubbed out the new paint, not bad for doing it myself. But I can sure see why they get the big money for a good paint job it's damn hard work. It will be nice to drive Frank around again...Vernski

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Installed bumper only to have to take it off and back to the shop. The chrome around the bolt holes is crap. Will also need to fill the gap behind bumper... see arrows. Last Happy St. Paddy's Day.

Drove it drove it drove it
Drove the 66 to drop the grill, radiator support and a few other odds and ends to the powder coater, then to a friends to drink a brew.
It was great

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Truck wouldn't start yesterday, so I charged the battery all night. Put it in this morning and, click, click. Had it checked and it was at 58 amps after being charged all night. So I bought a new battery and put it in. Started right up, then my alternator light was on. Took out the voltage reg and put in another one I had and the alternator light went out. So...I think it's ok for now. I'm hoping the battery was the worst of it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Great looking truck Vern. What part of town do you live in? I'm right across the alley fromo the Police Station. If your in the area stop by and say hi. Also do you ever go to the Fuddy Duddy car meet every Wed. at Burger Heaven? I went a couple times last year. Nice people and nice cars.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I finally got started on my rear axle swap. Only things left to do now are, make shock mounts, find a brake hose that will work, make hard lines, fill it with oil and go.
![]() ![]() ![]() I ended up having to move the spring perches in 1 inch on each side and cut off both shock mounts, but that's not too big of a deal. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I did exactly nothing except watch the rain fall...the trucks outside with no garage or canopy to work under. Maybe it will stop raining by July...
