Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Didn't do any thing to the truck per say but I did pick up an Edelbrock intake and a Holley carb from my brother n law. Then put an electric choke on it. What a pain that was with Holleys photo copied instructions that were so dark I could barley read them

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I was out in the pouring rain trying to track down a windshield leak I had had fixed a month ago. Around here if you want something done right you have to do it yourself. While I was at it and had the cowl off I reattached my antenna. Same guys that "fixed" my windshield broke off the connection. Saw that I really need to replace my rear window seal, may invest in a slider while I am at it. Originally, I had set out to clean up my front brakes and repack my wheel bearings. That's what I get for thinking...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I almost forgot that I took a lawnmower shutoff cable, cut it in half and tied it to measure with a carrick bend and now I can slide my seat back and forth for the first time in 17 years.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed inner and outer grills, light bezels, bumper, and front lens.
Snaggletooth no more. Next is new rubber floor, arm rests, dash pad, peddle pads, crank doughnuts, dome light, and seat cover. The visors are perfect.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Replaced some rotted gas lines and started putting on my new chrome bumper and started rubbing out the old paint. What a difference with a bit of elbow grease can make on the old faded paint.

Stared running fuel lines. A 1/2 line with a 3/8 return with All stainless. I'm waiting on a couple fittings to fining the job.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Took mother in law for a little ride in HER truck tonight.She asked my wife what I had planned for the nite,the cruise inn or what, and she wanted to go riding for a little while tonite.
Couldnt tell her no.She has been the banker on the truck. Her and the father in law used to ride around on Sat. afternoons in the truck and I guess she had him on her mine tonite.Father in law passed away suddenly back in Feb.2000.He was planning on retiring in Oct. of 2000.He was going to do a complete frame off but we didnt make it. Sorry for being long winded. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I have been looking all over the Houston and surrounding areas for a new bed. The one that I have as can bee seen in previous pictures was a little crumpled and the floor looked like swiss cheese.
We took a little vacation to Stratford, OK last week and on the OK City craigslist up there, found this: ![]() ![]() ![]() Guy up there had bought it for his project and then wrecked the truck before getting to use it. Best part...... $100 Problem..... getting it back to Texas. I guess that is a good problem.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got the body panels hung and aligned. All but the hood. I need a buddy for that one..
Just experienced what all the fuss is about on new after mark parts! New front fenders and the pass side stuck out at the bottom 3/8" by the rocker. "Can't shim that". Even put the old fender back just check, and fit like a glove. Oh well that's all done now. Couple flaws yet to touch up, hopefully headed to paint in August... ![]() ![]() ![]() Posted via Mobile Device ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I spent a couple of hours removing the old window tint film from the back window. Much cleaner now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Seriously nice.
Can someone possibly post a link to where in the Forum I might find a thread re: switching over to disks in the rear for a '71 5-lug? Maybe a "how to" on the disk e-brake set up I've seen? Thanks.
