Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Pulled the wounded 350/350 and am towing it to the carwash to clean it up in preparation for putting the Cad 500 and turbo 400 in it. More power is on the way.
I also ran to the wrecking yard and picked up a pair of the right brackets off a square body to mount the 500 per what others have done. Now I need to dig in the sheds and find the 425 pan and pickup tube I saved when my wife blew up the 425 I had put in my 82 Deville. She just called my buddy to come get here and tow her home when she did that one.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Replaced my drivers side door latch Sunday. That sucked! I swear to all things holly the passenger side better not fail because i'm not looking forward to doing that job again.
 I'd love to put in some fresh door latch screws if any of you know where I can get some.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Looks like I'm moving to Dallas, TX the end of July ... so I sent it to a board member near me that restores cars.... he's going to finish the job I don't have time for anymore... Sad but happy at the same time, I know it will be done now....

Worked on replacing Rocker panels. Got old one cut out, and found rusted out A-pillar. Waiting on parts to finish.

Re : Then :
I removed the right inner fender and discovered the bottom edge of the core support was rusted to junk , pix or of the leading edge of my old inner fender , the bottom of the core support looking up from the fender well , the bits of combined core support , leading edge of the inner fender and bolts , all this broke off in my hands =8-^
Last pic is of the typical So. Cal. Pick-A-Part $7.00 inner fender :
