Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Made a 3 gauge panel to replace the heater controls in the Camaro dash. I like to call it the rare "Heater Delete" option.
![]() Also spent some time organizing all the under dash wiring with wire ties in preparation for hooking up gauges. It might look nightmarish but now I know what every wire is thanks to my trusty 1965 Shop Manual. Last edited by lakeroadster; 01-19-2010 at 08:05 PM. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
That's why I drive a 50 year old truck, the heater along with most everything else can be fixed or changed in minutes instead of days.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
On the GMC trucks. only the back area (behind the barbell) was blacked out, no trim color was done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Thanks guys for the answer on the GMC grills. Hey today I bought a 63 Chev swb knee knocker from a guy that was hurtin for sure. $500 and the title was mine. It needs bed wood and I will have to replace the rockers maybe just the drivers side. I'm a GMC guy but I wasn't passin' this up bbw an all. It has an I6 in it and it runs good. I'll start on it when I get my GMC done, it needs paint and some body work.---Vernski

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I did some work yesterday and today on my rear backhalf. I made my top tri link tabs and today I squared up my frame and rearend, set the pinion angle and built the top links. I ran into a small problem with where my links were headed so I had to bend them so they would hit the middle adjustment. But I'm glad I did because it turned out sweet. I had to pie cut it because I don't have a tube bender and didn't want to wait. My bungs are tacked in and its tacked in the front and the tabs are tacked aswell. Anyways here are some pics and I did a walk around and video'd it and I'll have that up later.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Should be about the same as or around about a 5'' drop on a shortbed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I parked mine in the neighbor's carport to keep tree limbs/trees from falling on it while it's windy....they park in the street since there's no tall trees in front of the building.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
With unseasonal temps in the high 40's and low 50's, I got mine out of storage and back in the garage for new trailing arm bushings, a relay for the heater and maybe more upholstery.
