Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Received my Atomic Armadillo Metal Fab door panels and kick panels. This stuff is beautiful, can't wait to install. I ordered lower door pockets and a radio delete to match. Just waiting on USPS to track them down

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Last time I did a burnout I was leaving work on a Friday, drove for about 20 miles and the full float Dana 60 center pin decided it wanted to be in three prices and took out the teeth on the pinion and ring gear

The second set of intake bolts I've painted for the same truck

It takes a lot of patience and dedication. I used paint stir sticks for all my bolts. I have a small glass bead cabinet so blast, paint and hang to dry. There's only about 1500 pieces of hardware to do, not that bad. LOL

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got my truck running this week after eleven months of work, and drove around the neighborhood last night. Today I drove it down town to get some oil for a oil change. Every thing looks pretty good so far. Still need to do some idle tuning, and I have a power steering pump leak I have to replace. Got to checkout why the speedo is not working, and one dash light out. Nice to be back on the road, especially with AC! Really surprised at no other leaks with all that I did.

I use a piece of masonite pegboard for painting bolts. The holes are already drilled.

I'm impressed but why not just paint the hardware on the finished, assembled engine like done when it was new ? .

Installed the FCF seat lowering kit. It's wonderful now that I can see out the windshield when the wipers are on

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Sold her! Sad day indeed... A truck junkie (the mechanic whose been working on her for me) bought her about 10 days ago. When I told him I had to relocate to Connecticut. He begged me to sell and keep "Long-Green" my C10 from the bad winters and salty roads, and offered a very good price. Not my intention, but when the local PA job went away, I knew I couldn't keep all my toys.

Out for run today and stopped in to Grant Shwartz that was on Vegas rat rods. He's got a shop here in Ontario just over a half hour away. Super guy and great fabricator.

Bought a Cold Case radiator Sunday. I'll pop it into my truck when it comes.
