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

Nice I like it. Love the wheel choice. It is more rewarding when done by yourself. Very clean.

I WANT THAT TRUCK !!

That is a rather good looking truck Vern.

I would be happy in it.

LVPhotos · 03-16-2013, 05:00 PM

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.

LVPhotos · 03-16-2013, 05:01 PM

Sorry got click happy. Heres the pictures.

CRGRS 66 · 03-16-2013, 05:31 PM

yesterday, and today, got the cab off, and got the frame, trailing arms, and diff ready to go to the blaster/painter, details and pictures in my build thread.

wrecked36 · 03-16-2013, 08:02 PM

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

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.

ChuckW · 03-16-2013, 10:34 PM

Got pulled over.... Being the bad boy that I am.... Oh well. ((

ChuckW · 03-16-2013, 10:38 PM

VERNSKI,

I bought them 3-4 years ago and I think it was Brothers Trucks, I ordered the bumper at the same time. I have seen them other places so they are out there, you could Google for them I think they are called splash pans, good luck...Vernski

Hi Don [famous last words I live across the tracks] Oneida & Idaho st. yellow house w/ shop out back, red roof. I went to the Burger Heaven meet one time last summer there wasn't no talkers so I just left. But in all fairness they had something going on at the time maybe next time will be different...Vernski

akaupp · 03-17-2013, 01:23 AM

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.

BigDan3131 · 03-17-2013, 01:46 AM

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...

gmcdeadhead · 03-17-2013, 12:52 PM

i ground off the leaf perches and the shock mounts on the 14 bolt conversion i'm going to do on the 66 c-20. also getting ready to ship the 65 gmc out for body work and primer,[IMG]
